It’s hard to believe it’s already October, but there are still a few more days left to go. As you move into that final weeks of the fall season, take a moment and celebrate with a delicious, healthy dinner and a fresh start.
The biggest change in the fall is the time of year for Christmas. It’s just a few short weeks before Thanksgiving, but if you’re on the West Coast, that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. On the East Coast, it’s Halloween. We’re not sure which is which. Either way, take a few minutes during that final week of October to celebrate the end of the season. With it comes the inevitable, but welcome, change of seasons.
Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends, but it also has a special meaning for us as tech enthusiasts. It is the day that the internet goes up, and with it comes the opportunity for us to be connected with everyone we love. During this time we are likely to catch up on a lot of things, which can often lead to conversations and connection that feel more meaningful than we anticipated.
There are many ways we can share and connect with one another during this time. We can send and receive gifts, make special cards for each other, or just get together as a family to enjoy one last holiday together. We can also just get out of our own way and not spend any time together. Even if work or school is over, we can just go for a walk or a run instead. It is a time of self-care and connection.
The days have gotten longer and the weeks shorter, but just as there’s a time in the year when we have to prioritize and make the most of our time, there’s also a time when our bodies and minds want to take a break and recharge. Oct. 1st is that time. You are most likely already thinking about your finances, school, and your future, but if you’re not already, now is a great time to take a break and reconnect with yourself.
I think it’s been said many times that our bodies are programmed to take a break when it feels right, and when that break is needed, then we’re ready to take back our power. We need to rest from work or school or schoolwork, we need to reconnect with our passions, we need to move through our day and remember why we’re doing what we are.
It’s like the famous phrase, “take a vacation”. But we’re not taking a vacation. We’re taking a break from ourselves. It’s like we are taking a break from some life that we’re not yet ready to have another chance at. We need to take a break from some life that we’re not ready to have another chance at.
Take a vacation. Or take a break. If you are able to take a vacation, then you are able to live your life. If you are unable to take a vacation, then you are unable to stop and think about your “life”.
Take a break from your life. In our next article, we will talk more about the meaning of life and what it really means.
