Creating Space For Change: August 2024 Edition

Seasonal Change

And just like that, the days are shorter. It’s darker when I leave for the gym in the morning, and the leaves are starting to change colour.

Change really does happen whether we are ready or not;?whether we want it or not.

September has always felt like the start of a new year, more than January. Back to school definitely signals a new year for students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

For me, it’s a chance?to reset my routines, create space for my goals, and start looking ahead to the official new year. One of my goals is to focus on my health, specifically becoming stronger.

To achieve this goal, I need more sleep.

Part of resetting my daily routine will be consistently getting to bed before 10:00 PM.?

A good morning routine?starts with a good evening routine.?I know I need my sleep, so if I want to continue going to the gym to get stronger, I need to get myself to bed.

Accomplishing this goal will mean sacrifices in the evening, which will take some getting used to. Will it be perfect every night? No,?I'm not looking for perfection.?

TIP: When starting a new routine, ask yourself, “What do I want more—my goal or whatever the activity is that evening?" Checking in with yourself helps you realize the consequences of your choices.?

What are you doing to reset your routine and get through back to school, work and seasonal changes??
