How to do a fall reset in one day
Hello my friends,
Fall is for realsies here, ushering in a crispness to the air as the winds blow colder, signaling a time of transformation and reflection. In the Rockies of Colorado, the Aspen trees, renowned for their luminous golden hues, are now beginning to shed their leaves, falling to the forest floor in a tapestry of amber and gold. This seasonal shedding not only marks the inevitable cycle of renewal but also invites us to embrace change with grace and intention, aligning ourselves with the natural rhythms of the earth.
As I have said before, fall is a great time to reset and revisit everything from the year and plan forward with renewed clarity. The natural shift in seasons encourages introspection, allowing us to assess our achievements and challenges with a steady, grounded perspective. This period invites a deliberate pause to realign intentions, release what no longer serves, and embrace new goals with purposeful energy. By harnessing the transformative power of autumn, we create space for meaningful growth and prepare ourselves for the possibilities that lie ahead.
When I was in my twenties, I used to call this time of year my fall haul—a deliberate period of transformation and renewal. It was a season dedicated to overhauling my life, shedding old habits, and embracing the promise of new beginnings. The crisp air and changing leaves mirrored the internal shift I sought, inspiring me to realign my goals, clear mental clutter, and prepare myself for the chapter ahead with intention and clarity. This autumnal ritual became more than just a personal habit; it was a sacred practice of self-discovery and empowerment.
As with most witches, fall is a wonderful time, and I feel more invigorated during this season. The crisp, cool air and the turning of leaves create an atmosphere ripe for reflection and renewal. The veil between worlds feels thinner, inviting deeper connection to spirit and intuition. With nature shedding its old layers, I find myself shedding stagnation and embracing transformation. The energy of autumn fuels my rituals, divinations, and life coaching, providing clarity and grounding that inspires both my craft and my soul.
I guess because I am a winter baby, born in the stillness of January, I naturally align myself with the quieter, more introspective energies of the colder months. When summer’s heat rises, I instinctively retreat into a form of hibernation—slowing down, conserving my energy, and turning inward. This seasonal shift allows me to recharge, reflect, and prepare for the renewed vitality that winter brings, embodying the rhythm of nature’s cycles in a way that feels both necessary and profoundly grounding.
But as soon as fall hits, I am out of my shell and fully alive, invigorated by the crisp air and rich tapestry of colors that transform the world around me. The season’s subtle magic stirs something deep within—a call to shed the dormant quiet of summer and embrace renewal. Autumn’s twilight hours and the scent of burning leaves awaken my senses, compelling me to move confidently through life with purpose and clarity. In this season of change, I find not only inspiration but a profound connection to the cycles of nature, encouraging me to grow, reflect, and thrive. Any one else get like this?
I don't know why, but around this time of year, I find myself becoming unexpectedly nostalgic and tenderhearted. The shifting seasons seem to awaken a deep well of fond memories—moments of warmth, laughter, and connection that have shaped the fabric of my life. It’s a time when I cherish the past but also feel a profound desire to create new memories with my family, weaving threads of love and tradition into the future. This gentle blending of reflection and anticipation nurtures my spirit, reminding me of the enduring power of my little family and the magic in shared moments.
However you celebrate the fall season, I’ve crafted a thoughtful reset to help you jumpstart your reflections as the colder months approach. This guided pause invites you to slow down, honor the shifting energies, and realign with your intentions through a series of simple yet profound practices. Embrace this time to clear away what no longer serves you, cultivate gratitude for the harvest in your life, and set a clear path forward with renewed clarity and purpose. Let this reset be your personal sanctuary amidst the autumnal transition—a moment to reconnect with your inner wisdom and prepare for the deeper, quieter work of the season ahead.
See you on the next post…
Love & Hugs,
Rebecca
