Fall and Fresh Starts

‍

What a beautiful time of the year!

The leaves are changing, the sunflowers are standing tall, the breeze is gently, and the air is cool and crisp.  I love Fall, it is my favorite time of year.

‍

Fall is also a time for restarts.

A fresh look at behaviors we are engaged in.  Fall is a period of restart in my life and in the lives of those I serve. I time for new beginnings, a commitment to a particular plan and dedication to making it happen.

As we work with patients and even in our own lives, what fresh starts are possible?

·     A healthier eating plan

·     Commitment to meal planning

·     Consistent evening walks

·     Early morning meditation

·     An organized work space

·     Dedicated to taking quiet time for ourselves, even 5 minutes away

When working with patients, ask them:

·     What are you ready to begin today?

·     What is change that would make you and your life better, healthier?

·     What is one activity you can commit to today?

·     What is one area that is important to you?

·     What will help you keep on track with plan?

Fall is a time for fresh starts.

What is a restart you are wanting to make today and beyond?
