How do you cope with the changing of the seasons? I’m slowly crawling out of this week’s black hole – why does the start of autumn always hit me so dang hard?
But I know that this too shall pass and have been leaning into my self-care. My priorities are getting out in nature and spending time with friends. Even if (and especially when) I don’t feel like it. I’ve enjoyed an after-work dip with Angela (and her delicious home-baked banana chocolate cake and a hot cuppa tea).
And an early morning dip with Vibeke and Helene. Definite chill in the air these mornings!
Oh, and listening to audiobooks and good tunes in my ears helps too!
Getting enough sleep, eating well and exercising my body gently are non-negotiables. And cutting out the negative self-talk and thoughts! Love yourself as you are…
I also brought forward my hair appointment. Always feel better after a good chop! Now I feel my energy coming back – yay!
