A new season is sweeping us up!…September is special – it is where we are forced to say, see you later summer. While entering fall, it becomes apparent that this is a season for adjusting, for change.
Here are 5 ways to embrace your best Fall!
1. Declutter…Daily
My struggle: I am a pack-rat. I collect things. I have had the hardest time letting go, but it is needed for growth. For me, this is easier said than done, but rewarding. Yep, I know “daily” sounds tedious, but #decluttering in all areas of life is a great practice and not just a spring thing. Just like there is a cycle of life, there has got to be order in your temple (and nothing does it like taking stock and inventory on a regular basis.)
Getting rid of stuff and thoughts that no longer serve a present purpose in your life in order to clear out space or to make room for the new, can be the greatest magic trick.
2. Keep your secret ingredient, secret.
Devices. When we are left to our own, we can either make a mess or our own recipe for success. It used to be that your bank account could tell a lot about you, but now devices do tell. Use social media, but don’t let it use you. This season, monitor…your own usage. How often are you looking at a screen? What are you sharing? At the end of the day, keep time for personal development, loved ones who are in the flesh and some precious and not so precious details for self care purposes so you can shine on and off screen.
3. Embrace your truth by treating your successes and struggles equally.
I’m glad I like a good challenge – because every day when managing myself, a full time job and a new small business, that’s what I’m up for. But some days, it’s like wait- #adulting just weighed me down; it’s like tipping the scale…and before handling life’s responsibilities and serving others – just got to stop – make time to press play, turn up #spotify and dance like nobody’s watching! That’s always fun and a good hearty laugh!
Being single, I often get asked, “how do you manage it all???” – but I think – One life – that’s what we ALL get. The MOST of it is what we got to make. We are each made to win. In fact, I know I have a lot to carry, but I’ve always admired those who have even more to manage than I do – like those who are married, have kids…those who are single parents. I salute.
With that, we find this truth – regardless of our duties, life is such a balancing act! And as we walk this thin line, in order to not tip the scale, we gotta to do what we gotta do when it comes to factoring in who and what is important to us. Life is an ongoing balancing act…and be grateful for coordination. #growth #grace #GO #Glow
4. Wait for peace
I love to plan, but I also have learned over the years the significance of trusting in God’s plan and His perfect timing. It’s not easy, that’s for sure, especially if you are like me and patience is virtue you have had to work on. But in taking it step by step, even if the pace feels uncomfortably slow, and by taking it day-by-day, even if you are hyped about what you see ahead…we are at an advantageous vantage point- we are able to tune in and tap into divine details we often miss if we are whizzing by, doing our own thing. I have found peace to be what I HAVE to live for – Not my #plans. Sometimes it’s best to just WAIT until you have peace – wait for the signals to move up or move down…or just stay put until you know HOW to move…so this season, stop and see the beauty in #waiting.
5. Adopt a “What if?” Mindset
It’s funny how old friends can reveal things about you you never knew. She said in the 7th grade, I used to always ask questions, especially the ones that started off with “what if…” Well – I’m returning to that stem. This is a “what if?” season. Sometimes, because WE limit ourselves, we forget that possibilities, with faith and application, are endless. But this season all that changes…even if it’s 5 minutes- work in your daily dose of daydreaming and don’t be afraid of the questions that come to mind. Too often we put more weight on getting answers, BUT the power is in the question. Here’s to endless possibilities…get your “what if’s” on and get your vision board ready – The New Year will be here before we know it! The rest of this year will be the best of this year! Here’s to fall favor! – MW
