From Summer Slow to Fall Frenzy

A little perspective can sometimes make a big difference. It has been a wonderful summer filled with beautiful beach walks and slow, creative, and connecting experiences! I am pleased to have also felt some recovery and healing since my summer began. I love the summer rhythm and all that it brings; but, I’m afraid these precious days are waning with the daylight hours. How do we transition from this beautiful summer slow to the potential back to work/school frenzy of fall?

Here is a strategy I am trying. I have enjoyed so many aspects of summer and added some lovely new adventures. I wondered how much can I take with me into September? Once I go back to work, things move at light speed. I don’t have much time to think…so I am doing that part now. I will start small with one new thing that makes me happy and see if I can build it into my Fall schedule. This summer I began learning to play ukulele. No matter what was happening around me, when I picked this little instrument up, I felt happy. It really is a cheerful instrument! So this is my one thing. I am going to try to practice my ukulele playing at least three times each week. I wonder if it will bring me as much joy when I am swamped with work? I chose three times each week because I think this is realistic. I will not prescribe an amount of practice time…just pick it up and strum a little and see how I feel when I am done. Do you have a happy new/summer activity that feeds you and that you might be able to continue with?

This is a great time to join our Creating Community Monthly Meet-ups since we will begin with creating / reviewing our wellness strategies for Fall. It’s a safe place where we learn, share, and grow our own individual

wellness plans. For some of us, it is the only dedicated time we get to think about ourselves. Even if we are rushing to get on-line for the meeting, we are grateful at the end for how much calmer and happier we are feeling. Come learn and grow with us this September! Meet-ups happen one Wednesday evening every month beginning with September 24^th. We would love to welcome a few new faces this Fall!
