Know Your Season

Have you thought about how you know the season that’s outside in nature and as a simple habit dress for it intentionally?

Do you ever wear a thick long winter jacket for a Summer day, when the sun is shining, there is barely any wind and the weather forecast has promised a heat wave for that week?

No, I didn’t think so.

How about this.

Think of yourself as someone who is becoming very talented in intentionally dressing up your thoughts for the season.

When you have recognized the season you’re in - and that took you some time in peace and quiet until you figured it out - you take those thoughts that match your season.

You put them out on your mental cloth rack.

You look at them.

Comfy pajamas for the season of rest.

Accompanied with some soft slippers, cashmere shawl to wrap around you when you sip your early morning coffee on the porch.

Those books you got for your last holiday and have been saving them for later.

Or, this is your outfit for the active season of shifting a lifestyle.

Your most loved worn out running shoes and a freshly filled water bottle by your cloth rack.

That brightly colored breathing shirt that just invites you to run.

Your most loyal running pants that are just your size in this season.

Then, try mixing up these two outfits for the two different seasons.

Can you feel the confusion?

Clarity comes from that work you do with yourself finding what season it is for you.

And from you listening to it like the weather forecast you watched last night.

Have that sweet conversation with yourself.

And start finding out how this season can be about getting to know yourself more as you honor the season you’re in.
