Wherever we're coming from, September is a time for renewal. In January we make resolutions. In September we make commitments.
It's back-to-school season. Even if we aren't going back to school, even if our children are grown and even if we don't have children, September smells like pencil erasers and makes us want to get up aWe all arrive at September from different places. For some, summer is a lazier time. Lazy in the most delicious sense of that word. A period during which we can get up later, work less and allow our regimens to slacken.
For me, Labor Day is when I often hit a little well-being trough. I'm re-learning how to enjoy my indoor workouts, dealing with the distractions of the city and the calendar full of things to do. I love New York City—movies, theatre, music, restaurants. I love my friends and miss them hugely when I'm gone. As much as I'm always wanting to get back to all that spice of life, the rhythmic shift from mountains to city is a bump.
Wherever we're coming from, September is a time for renewal. In January we make resolutions. In September we make commitments. These are realistic undertakings we can stick with, not pie-in-the-sky resolutions for a whole new self. We don't need a whole new self. We just need to refresh our well-being pledge. And I mean well-being in a holistic sense, including physical activity, nourishing food, mindfulness, sleep, engaging work, supportive communities.
We take care of our health, so we can have maximum bandwidth for all we want to do in the world. When we look at our health with this broad lens, we reduce the pressure . Specific goals we might have about how many times we want to go to the gym, how many miles we want to run, how often we want to meditate, or how many pounds we want to lose, are put into the context of the bigger picture of our life. The process matters more than the outcome.
