Feeling a bit of the late August Blahs? Then read on because in this post I talk about how to motivate yourself, and get ready for the new season!
It happens to me every year.
I start to settle into this late-night-tv-binging-ice-cream-eating-sleeping-too-late routine which is really not me.
I am an early bird! I feel off balance when I stay up late and can’t wake up when I want to. Because it’s in these early hours that I get most grounded into who I am.
But since this seems to occur every summer, I’ve figured out a few things that help get me back into the routine that suits me most.

Start Your Day Right
I’ve spoken of the importance of a healthy morning routine and how it’s key in creating a sense of calm that carries through your day. But now more than ever, you’ll want to put this practice into action. I highly suggest waking up a little earlier to do it. But if you absolutely hate early mornings, then just make sure to schedule in your ME time later when you can connect to your true self, and build the confidence that comes from this connection.
Connect To Your True Self
My favorite way to reconnect to myself is through writing in a journal and meditating. Both these activities allow me to see clearly what’s clouding up my mind, and clogging my perception of my life. I love doing a stream of conscious writing exercise. Each morning I let the pen hit the paper and just see where it goes. By the end, I always have more clarity about what I must do next.
Clear The Old, Make Space For The New
A good way to gear up for the new season is to get into your wardrobe and make new outfits with what you already own. This way you’ll refresh your current style without buying anything new.
