"Turn over a New Leaf" this Fall

J0438909_2 Since ancient times September has been viewed as the beginning of the new year for some religions. It is considered the time for reflection and resolution. What a lovely concept. It makes sense though because those January resolutions are made when most of us are physically, emotionally, and financially worn out. I think many of us would rather just take the month off and rest rather than think about more work to be done.

So turn over a "new leaf" this fall, this month.  The busyness of summer is ending  And as Sarah Ban Breathnach states in her book, Simple Abundance, "The beauty of autumnal resolutions is that no one else knows we’re making them. Autumn resolutions don’t require horns, confetti and champagne. September resolutions ask only that we be open to positive change." Sarah says that January resolutions are about "will," where later in the years your thoughts turn to genuine authentic "wants." What do you want for your health?
