Getting outdoors encapsulates the essence of October. October is the time for things to change. Here in New England we have the great forests, this time of year they all begin to change. The days are shorter and cooler the world is inviting us to go inward and be more introspective. I always feel a little loss of the wartmth and activity of the summertime in October and an anticipation of the winter snows to come.
Growth is encoded into nature.
It always brings on increased activity and change. To embrace the spirit of October we suggest a few strategies that work well. The first is to examine your life and determine what you need to do to involve and grow. Get beyond your old habits, and identity. Growth and change can be relatively speedy if we cooperate by letting go of that which slows our progress.
