Fall is officially here, and with it, the coziness is nearing. Somewhere, Mariah Carey can be heard crooning a melody we know all too well, knowing Mariah season is coming up. A new season is the perfect time to implement a new schedule, create new habits, and overhaul your life! If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Start going on hikes, exploring your city, enjoying the small moments fall has to offer. And by that, I mean having hot chocolate at every establishment you visit.
Last week, I gave you the ‘Enya Mode’ playlist, lulling you into a fairy-like trance full of Celtic melodies and epic soundtracks. That is the playlist that will guide you through a moody November straight into the twinkling lights of December. Usher in some new, positive habits this Sunday. Make a list of all the things you’ve been putting off, or too afraid to try, or just generally haven’t gotten around to. After you’ve made said list, pick just one thing, and no matter how hard you find it, do it.
Start with 1. As the week progresses, choose 2 more things, and slowly, start changing your patterns and schedule. This is your time! Seize the day and remember: it’s never too late!
