Back in the early days of namastephanie.com, I made monthly goals. I really liked doing them, but now I think that I’d like to start again with seasonal goals. I get more excited about changing seasons than I do about changing months, so it just makes sense! 🙂

To me, autumn is all about comfort food, slowing down, and being present. The leaves become so vibrant so quickly, but then you blink and they’re gone. Then along comes winter with its trademark infinite gray- to be honest, I wish I could wrap myself in the colors of fall and hibernate through the winter.

But, since I can’t do that, I’ll focus instead on slowing down. Being present. Taking it moment by moment, day by day.

Here are my goals for the coming season:

1. Restorative yoga.
   Find a class and give it a go.
2. More home-cooked meals.
   Now that it doesn’t feel like sheer torture to use the kitchen appliances, more home-cooked (and slow cooked!) meals are most definitely on the menu.
3. Practice manifestation.
4. Always take the high road.
5. Take it easy (especially on myself).
   A relative posted today something that said “Anxiety happens when you think you have to have everything figured out at once” and it really resonated with me. I’d like to focus on remembering that.
6. Make cranberry bread.
   So much cranberry bread.

What goals do you have this season? Let me know in the comments! ❤
