34: Give Your Routines A Fall Refresh
Just because you've always done something doesn't make it a good reason to keep doing it.
I'm bringing this idea with me into the changing seasons, as we sadly say goodbye to summer fun and travel, and transition into fall.
Whether the kids are going back to school or, in my case, one is heading off to college, it's a season to review what's been working and what needs to change to close out the rest of the year intentionally.
September often feels like a fresh start, like a "new year" without the countdown and ball drop — making it the perfect season to reevaluate all our routines.
All of my clients are working to make improvements in at least one area of their lives, and this seasonal shift brings an excellent opportunity to review our priorities and embrace some new habits and routines that foster personal growth.
And I'm right there with them reviewing what's been working well and what needs to change. That's why, this week, I'm sharing four simple strategies to help you create intentional and positive changes this fall.
Here's what you'll hear today:
Why fall is an excellent time to establish new, intentional routines.
The importance of routines in conserving mental energy and reducing daily decision-making.
How small, consistent actions are more effective than infrequent, large efforts.
Why choosing how you'll FEEL is the most important choice in guiding your daily habits.
An invitation to challenge all the external "shoulds" and prioritize the habits that genuinely serve you.
The key to making habits stick for the long run.
