Don’t “lock in” this autumn. Do this instead.

Q4 is right around the corner. And in the corporate and business world, this tends to be one of the busiest times of the year. End-of-year budgets, holiday sales and marketing campaigns, hitting annual targets, wrapping up projects, planning for the new year... there’s a lot happening. But here’s the thing: we have a say in how we live, too. That busy, “finish everything before the year ends” energy isn’t necessarily nature’s energy. It’s business energy. And if we’re not careful, we can start carrying that energy into our own lives, even when the season around us is asking us to do something completely different. When we resist the slower energy of autumn, it can start to show up in ways like: Feeling disconnected from your self-worth or self-love Becoming insecure about how much (or how little) you’ve grown Getting sick more often Feeling exhausted, but still feeling like you can’t slow down Constantly feeling like you need to be doing more before the year is over As we lean into this new season, I’ll be guiding us through what autumn can actually teach us, what it means to embrace slower months, and how to honour that slower energy without sacrificing our success or ambitions. But for now, let’s just take a moment. Look at your vision board. What has come true? What still needs nurturing? What can you let go of? And, perhaps most importantly, what should you avoid?(Hint: trying to force yourself into “lock in” mode when the season is asking you to slow down.) And then there’s the bonus topic that somehow creeps up every year and has a way of pulling us out of enjoying the season altogether: preparing mentally and financially for the holidays. Because yes, autumn is about slowing down. But that doesn’t mean we have to be caught off guard when December rolls around. I hope you enjoyed this one.
