We were talking with a couple of clients recently about the different times of year when they feel the most energy, connection, and restoration.

One of them said that summer is his season to fill his calendar with events, connections, and outdoor gatherings, while winter is when he tends to hibernate and focus on solo activities.

The other client noticed that during the fall months, she tends to connect more with friends through social events and cooking hearty meals. In the spring and summer, she focuses on self-reflection and enjoying time alone in her garden.

We got to thinking about how different this may look for each one of us. So today, we’d like to encourage you to consider what your seasons look like.

Here are some examples and questions to help guide your thinking:

  • In what months do you feel a sense of
    • energy
    • connection to others
    • connection to self
    • new beginnings
    • reflection
    • rest
    • restoration
    • awakening
  • In the summer, do the longer days and warmer weather fill you with more energy and motivation to be outside and connect with others?
  • In the autumn, do you feel a sense of reflection as the seasons change and the leaves begin to fall?
  • In the winter, do the shorter days and colder weather have you seeking solitude, restoration, and rest?
  • In the spring, do you feel an awakening and sense of hope and momentum as new blooms begin to grow?

Knowing your tendencies
can help to decrease your stress levels
and increase your sense
of meaning and fulfillment.

Anytime you’re able to understand how and when you operate naturally, you’ll be better positioned to match your motivations with your plans.

We know that you likely won’t always be able to create a schedule that that works best for you. AND, we encourage you to look for what’s possible!

Consider looking for the spaces where you do have influence over the type of thinking, connection, activity, and refueling that you engage in.
