Autumnal Resistance

I’m a bit late to the Autumn party, both literally (because I’ve been chasing the sun in Portugal) and emotionally (because I love fun and end of Summer = end of Fun). Autumn for me is like when they turn the house lights on & stop the music just when you and all your pals were in the middle of busting moves & singing in each others faces.

As the temperature drops and the sun lowers, so do our energy levels. Motivation is lowering, mood is dampening, feelings of tiredness are creeping in. 

Trees go into conservation mode, shedding what takes up energy - their leaves - which in turn feed the soil to feed the roots of the very tree they fell from. Nature knows that growth is not linear, it’s cyclical. Nature knows that letting go is how she nurtures herself through change. 

Autumn invites in an energy shift from external to internal. This is about feeding our roots for the next phase. Letting go of what is done to make space for the new. It’s a time of going inward and regenerating. 

This change in Season can be felt by us too.

🍁 It’s hard to say goodbye to all the fun, the lightness, the play. 

🍁 It’s hard to feel our energy levels decreasing. 

🍁 It’s hard to let go.

🍁 It’s hard to reflect on what’s no longer serving us, to release beliefs & patterns that hold us back.

No one said it was easy. But when we resist, we actually make it harder for ourselves because we are contracting. 

πŸ‚The invitation is to return to nature - our creative mother and teacher. 

πŸ‚ If resistance stirs up in you, like it does in me, allow whatever needs to come up to arise. Choose trust & surrender over control. 

πŸ‚Breathe into it, expand the lungs to expand the soul. 

πŸ‚There are so many intuitive lessons to be downloaded within this period if we allow ourselves the space to slow down, to soften, to listen with compassion, and to BE.

Have a play around with your Autumnal musings…

  • Are there parts of yourself & your business that could do with some reflective Autumnal energy? 

  • Where do you need to release control and let go? 

  • How can you create the space to be?
