While the high temperatures here in Pennsylvania do not feel like fall is on its way, I wanted to provide you with some ideas to consider because I will be on maternity leave within the next week.

As we say goodbye to summer and transition into fall, it can be a perfect time to reflect on the upcoming season. I see autumn as a time to take inventory of what needs to "fall away." Just as the leaves on the trees naturally change color and fall to the ground every year without fail, we can use this time to reflect on what needs to change in our lives and what needs to fall away completely as well. I've experienced that being in tune with the cycles of the seasons provides great value and harmony so I'd encourage you to explore what this new season may be offering to you as well. Here are some journaling prompts that I use - consider actual things in your life like an object or a relationship as well as things like habits, patterns, thoughts, beliefs, etc. Feel free to grab a cup of hot tea, snuggle with a cozy blanket, and consider some of these questions either in your head or by writing your thoughts down.

Fall has arrived....at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere :) Here in Pennsylvania, the leaves are starting to change, it’s getting darker earlier in the evening, and there is a chill in the air. I like to periodically utilize journal prompts for reflection, especially when a change in seasons occurs. Regardless of where you're located, it can be helpful to check in with ourselves every so often, examining how far we've come and where we'd like to go moving forward.
