The Fall Equinox – Finding Our Balance

Self-care is, fundamentally, about bringing balance back to a life that has grown imbalanced, from too many commitments or responsibilities.

Robyn L. Gobin, The Self-Care Prescription

Whether from too many commitments or responsibilities, or from ignoring our commitments and responsibilities, self-care is our chance to balance the ledger. The equinox is an ideal time to be accountable for your actions and to restore your personal balance. How can you reset to put yourself in the best possible position to face the uncertainty ahead?

As the fall approaches, leading into the winter, nature is scaling back the excesses of the bounties of Spring, and the energy of summer. Now is the time of harvest and introspection. What do we have? What do we need? How prepared are we for what comes next? If it is a time of challenge, are you the best prepared that you can be? Will you be ready to give aid to others, if needed?

These questions apply whether you are examining your pantry or your personal energies. Are you going to starve emotionally, energetically due to the demand ahead? Have you made plans to restore your inventory, your balance, to place yourself in the best position going forward? The equinox is a very good time to meditate on the days ahead, and to position yourself as advantageously as posible.

Happy Equinox!
