RAKING THE LEAVES OF AUTUMN:
Gearing Down for Winter and Giving Thanks
While summer is your time to shine, autumn is time to return to the earth. Autumn is traditionally known as the season of the harvest, where men and women give thanks for what the earth has given them, both in terms of sustancace and other types of blessings. As the temperature pivots into cooler weather, we grow attracted to more earth-toned colors, flannels, and more casual shoes. There is lots of dirty work to get done before winter, so your wardrobe and your attidue becomes more focused than in summer, opting for decisions that are practical, comfortable, and more subdued.
Back to Work
Whether you’re returning to school or coming back to work after a long summer escape, you should be rested and relaxed. You’ve spent a whole summer focusing on the little things in life, and now is your time to give back to the world. With any luck summer allowed you to refine your purpose and fall is a time for you to pursue it—delve into your schoolwork, your passions, and your life at home. Success in fall is measured by your deeds, not your appearance. Keep your focus on your actions and keep your style casual. Shoes, sweaters, and jackets will project more confidence when you seem less preoccupied with them.
Time to Get Cozy
As the days grow shorter and darker, fall reminds us that another year will soon be coming to a close. You’ve worked hard all year, and you will continue to do so throughout the fall, but you can also take comfort with what you’ve achieved so far. No matter how well you’ve achieved your goals or resolutions—many of our most worthwhile goals will take years to obtain, not simply twelve quick months—take comfort in what you have achieved and the blessings you’ve received throughout the year. Get cozy with those who love you, take warmth under a blanket, and sip your hot apple cider. Your relaxed sweatshirts and causal shoes give the fall season rustic charm, like a roaring woodstove in a remote cabin.
Plant for Spring
It’s never too early to think about where you want to be by next fall. Do take a little time to think about what seeds you need to plan—applications to submit, arrangements to make, contacts to establish—this season to help stimulate the next. Opportunities don’t pop out of nowhere; they require research and execution. If you want next year to be better than this one, make sure you look ahead and act accordingly in fall for an even brighter spring.
