We kicked off summer with seasonal Self-care, and we all really enjoyed it, so I thought we'd kick off Fall with a seasonal Self-care refresh.
September Intentions ✨️💛✨️
Happy September ✨️ and happy soon to be first month of Fall 🍂 For this month's intentions, let's focus on refreshing our self-care routines for Fall 🍂
I like to incorporate the seasons in my self-care & self-love practices and routines.
Like eating seasonal foods or enjoying seasonal activities, your self-care and self-love practices & routines should adapt to each season.
WHEN YOU RECOVER OR DISCOVER SOMETHING THAT NOURISHES YOUR SOUL AND BRINGS YOU JOY, CARE ENOUGH ABOUT YOURSELF TO MAKE ROOM FOR IT IN YOUR LIFE.

Here's 7 Ways to Refresh Your Self-Care Practices & Routines for Fall
Cozy up with Self-Care -
Take warm baths with autumnal scents or enjoy warm autumnal drinks: apple cider, hot chocolate, or tea to warm your body and soul
Mindful Moments for Fall -
Take nature walks: Bask in the fall foliage and breathe in the crisp air
Practice seasonal mindfulness:
Leaf-watching meditations
Reflect on the changing leaves and the cycle of life
Take care of your skin: Moisturize and protect your skin from the dry autumn air
Prioritize rest: Allow yourself to slow down and rest as the days get shorter
Engage in fall activities: Try apple picking, pumpkin carving, or hayrides to connect with the season
Practice gratitude: Reflect on the harvest season and express thanks for the abundance in your life
Take care of your mental health: Seek support and practice self-compassion as the seasons change
Remember, self-care is about listening to your needs and nurturing your body, mind, and spirit. Find activities that bring you joy and comfort during the fall season!

Here are some fall-themed self-care affirmations:
1. As the leaves change, I embrace transformation and growth in my life
2. I cozy up with self-love and warmth, letting go of stress and anxiety
3. With each breath, I inhale the crisp autumn air and exhale self-doubt
4. I nourish my body and soul with hearty, comforting foods and activities
5. Like the trees, I stand tall and resilient, weathering life's challenges
6. I let go of what no longer serves me, making space for new experiences
7. The warmth of the season reminds me to be gentle and kind to myself
8. As nature slows down, I prioritize rest and relaxation
9. I embrace the beauty of imperfection, just like the unique shapes of fallen leaves
10. With gratitude, I harvest the lessons and abundance of the past season
Repeat these affirmations to yourself as you enjoy the sights, sounds, and feelings of fall. May they bring you comfort, peace, and self-love!
Fall in love with taking care of yourself.
Fall in love with the path of deep healing.
Fall in love with becoming the best version of yourself but with patience, with compassion and respect to your own journey.

Put yourself at the top of your to-do list every single day, and the rest will fall into place.
So pull out your calendar, daybook, Google calendar or whatever you use to schedule your life, and start putting yourself on the list.
Add-in at least one new Fall seasonal Self-care refresh each day, and see how adapting your self-care seasonally can uplift you and keep you going throughout each season of the year.
Soul Care
I believe soul care means SILENCING THE NOISE, hearing the whispers of my own soul, tending to my body with care, and NOURISHING THE INNER LANDSCAPE OF MY HEART
I promise... to acknowledge the wisdom that resides within, honoring my highest, wisest self with kindness, integrity, and trust.
I promise... to honor the divinity and GIFT of my body & treat it kindly with compassion.
I PROMISE... to devote time & energy to my soul work: forgiveness, gratitude, healing, and learning to love & own my story.
I will... SURRENDER what no longer serves me and pursue only what delights my spirit & brings joy.
AND FINALLY... I will breathe in the divinity of everything with a SENSE OF AWAKENING and trust. ~ Kelly Rae Roberts
Adapting your self-care and self-love practices and routines throughout the year, so they incorporate the seasons, to me is a game changer for your overall self-care.
I encourage you this Autumn 🍂 to embrace this new season with renewed self-love and care. Take your self-care practices and routines to the next level every season with just a few additions or adjustments.
Seasonal Self-care and Self-love is SOUL CARE ✨️
