Some trees hold on longer

Discernment. Digesting. Integrating.
All words I use to describe the energy of fall.

It’s a time for letting go, clearing out, and releasing.

AND

It’s a time for gathering in, celebrating and gratitude.

Both.

Gathering in and letting go.
Leaving changed.

The brain can relate to this through the death and rebirth cycle of nature.
It’s not linear, it’s cyclical.

Many trees release leaves - creating spaciousness for the new.
Others hold on - taking longer to process and let go.
Both showing us how to live.

Because spring does arrive again.
And with it change.

But change isn’t limited to spring.
It’s just not always seen during the winter.
It’s there, happening, germinating, integrating.
Building capacity to emerge again.

Before growth comes shedding and rest.
Conserving, or harvesting, energy.
Lifting the burden of what seems to weigh down.

This is Autumn.

And it’s your invitation to do the same.

It may be that you think of the physical things you can clear out in your home.

That clears energy for sure, and likely helps you and your home feel lighter.

But I want to ask you this:

What parts of you are letting go of this fall?

🍂Maybe it’s a habit or belief that you’ve held onto for but are realizing how it’s keeping you from where you want to be.

🍂Maybe it’s a relationship that is no longer nourishing.

🍂Maybe it’s the ego part that’s been protecting a wound you’re finally ready to heal.

Whatever it is, Reader, can you imagine holding it in your cupped hands then opening them and letting it fall away?

Just as the trees release what is no longer nourishing to them, we too, have this ability.

We just sometimes forget it applies to all areas of our life.

It might be that as you’re reading this, nothing comes to mind that needs to be released. That’s OK, contentment is also a practice.

Either way, I’ve pulled together some of my best releasing episodes from Health Harmony and Happiness with Cathy.

Perhaps they will inspire you this season as you are going about decluttering your space… environment, ego, habits, or otherwise😘.

Take a listen during this season of appreciation on whatever podcast player you listen to, and if you feel so inclined, I’d love a rating, review or for you to share with someone who might benefit.

I'm so glad you're here, and I'll see you next time💚

Cheers,
Cathy
