Add a little glimmer to your day for Fall.

We all get caught up from time to time in a mundane routine and work, no matter what it is you do.  Just remember that every day can have a little glimmer in it no matter what is on the schedule for you – especially this fall holiday season.

Relationships: A lot of times we let our social life go by the wayside when we are super busy.  I know as an entrepreneur working late until 3am most nights, there really is no room for 5pm happy hour. If you work a 9-5 you still may need to go to the gym, come home, make dinner, care for a family etc.  If you do have a schedule like that – of course it will be worth it in the end to see your accomplishments come to fruition (work, fitness, family etc.) but in between make sure to take some time for fun.

Step away from your normal routine if you feel drained and uninspired.  Just going for lunch (or a pumpkin spice latté) with a girlfriend will help bring the zing back to your day. Talking with friends also really can rejuvenate you.  Even a phone call will totally help.

Fall is the perfect time to nestle in with friends for coffee, drinks, fun and girl talk to battle the chilly weather blues.

I know I recently felt the blah’s coming on and was so caught up with a lot of work that I needed to finish and thought about canceling my plans.  However, just carving out an hour or two to see a friend really put things in perspective and reenergized me.

Relationships are what life is all about and it is important to have a balance in your life. Friends, romance, family, work; if any one of these four types of relationships are off kilter you will notice it in your energy.

It’s strange to think that this can literally affect your energy but drowning yourself in work or only a few of these types of relationships can bring on the feeling that there is something lacking.

Get creative, get feminine: No need to wait for a dull day to do something special (or sparkly for that matter). Make it a point to really take care of yourself and know that the more you do that the better your work in the world will be.  You will revive the creative juices inside of you by doing something imaginative.

Have girl time with yourself. Take that trip to the bookstore, go candle shopping, do something DIY, break out the glitter and pinterest boards to make some sparkly fall decor, or bake a fun fall batch of muffins.  By enjoying the little things that are feminine and creative, your left-brain will be activated and anything you need to do will get a little easier because you will have a fresh and inventive mindset. As a woman on a schedule, going by the to do list is a fairly masculine energy that we in the millennium have come to accept. It’s so important to tap back into the feminine things you enjoy to reenergize yourself for those hardened tasks.

Nest in: Sometimes our home or office needs a mini-facelift. Whenever things feel stale reorganize your space, purchase a fall scented candle, add some fall decorations and really get into the nesting zone.  When you do this you will feel like you are nurturing your soul.  Cuddle up to those close to you and enjoy your updated surroundings. Visual stimulus really help to provide soothing experiences for our mind, body and soul. Treat your space as a temple. Take it easy when you have to and prep for the fall festivities.

Hope that inspires you!
