September’s energy makes it feel almost like a second January in terms of new beginnings. I think it’s because even though it’s technically still summer, September also marks the beginning of fall which is a time of transformation. It gives one a chance to reflect on how the year has gone so far and what I need to do to achieve our year’s goals before December 31. I also look at is at a time to set myself up for bringing in the new year fully charged with the momentum created in September.
Summer is synonomus with off time. Long hot days, barbeques, summer vacations, taking off to some coastal destination or being by the lake, playing and having fun. Sometimes that doesn’t exactly jive with staying consistent with my plan. This summer was one of the best ever [see Wales, Liverpool & Birkenhead, Ibiza and Formentera posts and you’ll see why!] But not so great for staying consistently on track.
For the last 123 days of the year (at the time of writing this), I resolved to get back on track with fitness, writing and my creative side while enjoying all of what September has to offer – cooler mornings, wrapping up in cozy knits and enjoying hot tea in the backyard before starting the day, staying present, enjoying the transition from summer to autumn and refocusing on what I need to get done.
