Autumn Reflections: A Season for Letting Go
As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, autumn invites us to pause, reflect, and let go of what no longer serves us. This is a season of natural transition—a time to release old patterns and make space for what we truly want to cultivate.
I wanted to share some reflections, journal prompts, and a cozy playlist to support you through this beautiful season of change.
The Wisdom of Autumn
Autumn reminds us that release is both necessary and beautiful. Just as the trees let go of their leaves to prepare for new growth, we too can shed the old and prepare for the new.
This season invites us to:
Notice what's no longer serving us
Create space for renewal and rest
Set intentions for the months ahead
Take a moment to notice the cool, crisp air and the golden-orange glow of the trees. Feel the cozy warmth of your favorite fall drink, perhaps the soft scents of cinnamon and nutmeg. Listen to the quiet rhythm of the earth slowing down.
Use these sensory cues as inspiration to reflect on what you're ready to release—and what you want to welcome in.
Journal Prompts for Autumn
Grab your journal, get cozy and ponder with these questions:
What is one pattern, belief, or relationship that's no longer serving me—and am I ready to release it?
If I stopped living for other people's expectations, what would I want to invite into my life instead?
What boundary do I need to set this season to protect my energy as we move into the busy holiday months ahead?
As we release what no longer serves us, we create space for growth, joy, and what truly matters.
Autumn Reflections Playlist
To accompany your reflection, I've curated a magical autumn playlist full of cozy, contemplative, and slightly spooky energy. Perfect for journaling, walking in nature, or simply enjoying a quiet moment.
Moving Forward
As we move deeper into autumn, I invite you to be gentle with yourself. Notice what needs to be released. Honor what wants to emerge. Give yourself permission to rest and reflect.
If you're feeling called to explore what you want to let go of—and what you want to invite in—with professional support, I have openings this fall for both in-person therapy in Edmonton and virtual sessions across Alberta.
Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing, burnout, boundaries, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I'm here to help you find your way back.
