Thursday in early September. Notice your energy. The season change affects it, often in subtle ways.

September often brings a surge. New beginnings create motivation. The cooler air invigorates. After summerโ€™s languor, there is appetite for action.

But September can also drain. Transitions require energy. New rhythms demand adjustment. The loss of summerโ€™s ease registers as a kind of grief.

Know where you are on this spectrum. Honor your actual energy, not where you think you should be. Work with what you have.

How is your energy as autumn begins?
