On a Fall Reset
As we move into fall, I think it’s important to take time to look back on the summer months and express gratitude for the experiences we had and the time we spent with people we love. It’s also an opportunity to think about what these past few months may have taught us.
As the sun begins to set earlier, we will continue to experience changes, not only in our environment, but within ourselves. Fall is synonymous with the harvest, and in that theme, I think about the seeds we planted earlier this year: which have grown, which are still growing, and which may be ready for us to enjoy today or very soon?
Today, I invite you to do a fall reset with me, asking ourselves questions in three parts: Reflection, Intention, and Aligned Action — a simple practice for a life well-lived — as we move into the next season.
Be well,

Part 1: Reflection
POSITIVITY | What person, experience, hobby, or routine brought me joy?
GROWTH | What lesson did I learn or insight did I gain from experiences this summer?
WELL-BEING | What am I leaving behind or choosing not to carry with me into fall?
Part 2: Intention
POSITIVITY | What am I looking forward to this fall?
GROWTH | What is one thing I want to do or accomplish before the end of this year?
WELL-BEING | What would I like to change or prioritize as the seasons change?
Part 3: Aligned Action
POSITIVITY | How will these changes positively impact me and my life?
GROWTH | What small actions can I take to create the change I hope for this season?
WELL-BEING | How can I plan ahead for my well-being? What are my well-being non-negotiables?
