Aligning business calendar with nature: time to replenish!

Fall Leaves from http://www.northshorefallcolors.com/


I am guessing you have already received a handful of newsletters welcoming fall, the crispiness of the air, the winds of change and the many things we should fall back to. So I am not going to talk about that. Or am I? I can't help but share what I think is the season's greatest wisdom: it's time to replenish. Just look at nature around you. With the end of Summer, the season of growth and extroversion, the trees are getting ready to hibernate, letting go of their leaves to conserve energy so that they can endure the hardships of winter. What about us? Are we finding ways to do the same for ourselves? Or do we keep inviting more?

While many businesses boom during fall and throughout the winter, our body and mind have evolved to be in tune with the seasons. As I write this post, I find myself half way through Fall's Yogi Incubator program here in L.A., taking four profound and provoking trainings and riding (or creating?) big waves of change in my personal life. Much thought and dedication is going into taking good care of myself so that I can be as grounded and present as I can, while gracefully embracing all that is unfolding.

I hope you can too, take care of yourself while growing your business in harmony and getting ready to wrap up the year.

Warmly,
Clara
