Seasonal Recalibration Guide: Fall 2023
The energy of the season and journaling to utilize it + a playlist!
Here is a sentence I never thought I would say: I am looking forward to the cold weather. I look forward to the brisk morning air breezing through my window. I look forward to a quieter social calendar filled with more nights in and less evenings spending an hour getting ready. I look forward to being cozy, to seeing all of the holiday decorations, and to burying myself in layers to face the February chill. I want to spend more time showing up for myself and less time feeling like I have to show up for the world.
The last East Coast winter I experienced was in 2019, before I knew any different. Before I avoided the colder months for two, nearly three, years in a row. Before I decided that I didn’t like winter and would avoid it at all costs. And yet, on this late summer morning that feels more like fall, I am dreaming of waking up before the sun, journaling by candle light, and eating nothing but roasted vegetables and curries and noodles and anything else that warms my soul.
But I must not get ahead of myself. To completely skip over my favorite season would not only be a disservice to myself but also to you because the wisdom of fall is one that I often return to. If the summer solstice represents the peak of the year, the longest day and shortest night, the fall equinox is a reminder that there comes a point in the night that the party must wind down. It is the transition between the external and internal – a moment of reflection before the season of stillness to help us find more balance and equilibrium to support us through the entirety of the year.
