Equinox Energy

Sweet Sunday morning to you 😌

Tomorrow marks the Fall Equinox, when day and night, light and dark, will be nearly equal in length. This symbolism of natural balance is not lost on me — I’m taking this as a sign from Mother Nature to check-in on my own life balance, energy, & sense of equilibrium!

In Lifestyle Redesign® occupational therapy, I work with people to explore how balance (and imbalance) shows up in their everyday life. The following factors could tip the scale one way or the other:

how you perceive and manage your time;
how your habits and routines shape your day;
how many “hats you wear” (roles you fulfill) in a day.

This week I encourage you to do a “lifestyle audit”. Take some time to reflect on how you’re spending your time. Take notice of how you feel throughout the day. Inspect each aspect of your life and determine where you could make some tweaks to upgrade your time and energy. Here are a few questions to get you started:

How is balance (or imbalance) showing up in my daily routines?
What habits or routines feel energizing? Grounding? Draining?
Where might I be overextended in my day-to-day life?

Wishing you a bit more balance this week as we enter into this seasonal transition!

Have a wonderful week,

With 🧡, Steph

Weekly Wellness Intention ✨

As the Fall Equinox reminds us of the natural balance between light and dark, I set the intention to create more balance in my daily life—between work and rest, activity and stillness, doing and being.
