Change is in the air.  The leaves are turning colour, children are anxiously gathering for the first day of school, and each morning is crisper than the one before.  I admit I prefer the warmth and casualness of the summer months, but the changing of the seasons greatly excites me.  Each new season brings the sense of newness, planning, and transformation I crave.  Deep inside me, and I believe all of us, is a deeply rooted sensitivity to the changing of the seasons and what it means for our world.

This year, I am determined to use this sense of a fresh, clean slate to inspire and motivate me, personally and in my businesses.  I have already taken advantage of these feelings (with the help of my husband) to clean our entire house, top to bottom, inside and out.  It feels so wonderful to be heading into winter tidy, clean, and fresh.  So with that done, I am ready to start doing the same tidying inside MYSELF…clear out the emotional cobwebs, organize the information clutter, and take inventory of any beliefs and activities that need repairing or replacing.  What a wonderful way to start a new season!

The excitement this new season brings can help you, too!  Take advantage of it to do some “spring” cleaning around your home and yard, make a detailed business plan for the next few months (or review and revise your current one), hire a mentor, life coach, or personal trainer.  Use this momentum to carry you through the “Christmas Rush” and keep your stress to a minimum.  Share with me how the changing of the seasons affects you!

Best Wishes,

Amanda
