FALL

FALL It’s a time to fall back and look at your year. What you have done, where you have gone, or maybe you still have things on your list. You want to take action and start making that list now. Shed old habits, and switch up the people who are no longer serving you. Let me say that may sound harsh, but it's essential to realize that as humans, we grow and learn, so shedding a few people in our lives is a good thing; it's part of growing and the evolution process. It doesn't mean we are bad people or have no feelings. But it means you know what you want and what you need to do to achieve it. Let all the things that have been driving you crazy all year up until now, let them all fall by the waste side and do some shifting.

A New Year is approaching fast. I can’t believe another year has come and gone.

Mother Nature says we must clean the house to prepare for the next evolving time. Disasters, storms, and chaos will happen for a new clean slate to form. Just like in real-time in life, it’s happening, and this, I have to warn, is not easy, not easy for those that will be going through it.

Who wants to create turmoil in their lives? We are comfy just the way we are right now, right? Wrong! If Mother Nature is cleaning up, then so should we. Good things are bound to happen; it has to. It’s all part of how this world works. What happens after a grass fire? The following year the grass is ten times healthier and greener. If we are not changing, learning and growing, taking out the bad things in our life, we have stopped ourselves from evolving. Creating blocks in our lives that only get in the way of achieving our goals and desires.

Fall is my favourite time of the season for this reason and because I can do and make so many changes in my life. I THINK OF IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY. Moving forward, the thought challenges. You have to get used to it and this new program you'll create in your life, and that It's just part of your yearly program.

WHO'S GONNA MAKE THE CUT, AND WHO'S NOT? What habits will you break, and what new ones will you start? Make a very detailed list. Not everyone is meant to stay in our lives forever, not even family. Yep, I said it! If you think blood is thicker than water, you're wrong.

Only those with family members who have been burned know this to be true. I have learned that families can sometimes do the most harmful and damaging things to ourselves and our successes. So toughen up because you will have to make significant changes if you want to see changes and great things in your life.

Let's skip to the good part about why most people love fall; oversized sweaters, cafes, rainy weather, book stores, fuzzy slippers and pj’s and Pumpkin spice lattes are a reason too!

We all love it for this reason. Get cozy and keep the feel-good stuff close by. You'll need it in the shedding process we discussed above. It's called balance, hahaha no, for reals, though; some good and bad times are ahead; it's all part of life. Know that and accept it. Having some fall comforts around will make the process easier; plan for it.

Let’s make some changes this year. It can be filled with new adventures, successes and a life we can look back on and feel happy and proud about.
