I went for a walk this weekend on a trail nearby my house, it was absolutely beautiful to see the leaves changing. It reminded of the beauty of transformation that surrounds us. Fall is a time that nature is transforming but we are also transforming. It is natural for our routines to ebb and flow with the seasons. Creating a wellness routine that connects with the fall is a beautiful way to honor the natural ebb and flow of nature.

- Incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables like apples, pumpkins, squash, and sweet potatoes into your meals.

- Regular Exercise:
- Embrace outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or brisk walking to enjoy the crisp fall air.
- Consider indoor workouts such as yoga or Pilates to maintain flexibility and strength.
- Establish a consistent exercise routine, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.

- Changing with the Season: How does fall symbolize change for you? Explore the concept of change and growth in your own life, drawing parallels with the transformations happening in nature.
- Fall Senses: Describe the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures that remind you of fall. How do these sensory experiences contribute to your overall perception of the season?
As we move through this beautiful season of transformation, let’s embrace the transformative power of changing with the season. Let our routines embrace nature in all aspects of mind-body-spirit. When we treat our bodies with care and engage in activities that bring us joy, we’re on the path to holistic health and wellness.
