Do as the Fall Does and Let Go!

in Motivation on 20/10/20

Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness, curiosity and a willingness to embrace paradox, rather than choose upsides. The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves exactly as we are, but never stop trying to learn and grow. – Tony Schwartz

Fall, what a beautiful season of change.  I love when the trees change colors from green to vibrant scarlet, rust, and gold. Where I live in Southern Utah our seasons change, but at different times of the year than other states. Growing up in Salt Lake, the Fall leaves fell in time for Halloween.  I vividly remember crunching the leaves with my feet while walking from one house to the next on Halloween night.  When I moved to Southern Utah for college- I noticed the leaves fell in December!  I miss seeing the dynamic change of leaf colors in the early Fall.  I want my kids to enjoy the crunching of leaves on Halloween night as I did. Then again, there were some years I wore a snowsuit under my Halloween costume… maybe I don’t want those Fall nights for my kids?

But I digress, Fall is a beautiful season of the year. I once heard the saying: “Fall is God’s final encore of the year” do you agree? What does Fall mean to you? Our designer created this little graphic that pretty much sums up how I feel about Fall.

let go, fall is snuggles, sweater weather, apple picking, scarecrows, campfire chats, crunchy leaves, crisp air, boots, hoodies, letting go, harvest time, football games, scarves

Fall could mean hoodies and comfy pants. Toasty soups and comfort foods. Pumpkin-flavored desserts. Oh- and let’s not forget a girl can take a break from shaving the legs! Yahoo! 😉

Besides enjoying the beauty of the season, Autumn can also teach us something.

The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.

How to Let Go:

Today I encourage each of us to examine our lives closely and let something old go. Take in the beauty that is your life and look closely at the items in your home that you love. And then find something you haven’t used in a long time. Perhaps, it’s examining the closet that is busting of extra clothing. Or the toy box that has broken, old or mismatched toys. Summon the courage, energy, and dive into the process of letting something go.

If your home is anti-clutter (I need to know your secret!) there can also be something in your life that is not physical that could be cluttering your life emotionally.  If something or an event immediately comes to mind, take a moment and write it down. How long ago did this event happen? Days, weeks, months, or years? It can be easy to get offended and get our feelings hurt. I hope you can eventually work through that moment of pain and choose to work through it and let it go. That event or moment in your life is holding you down! Holding you back from feeling free. Let that moment go.  Allow yourself the opportunity to feel liberated, to be healed and to move forward.

Fall is a beautiful season. The vibrant and colorful leaves flourish as the last celebration before letting go. Examine your life and the beauty around you then do as Autumn does and let go of something.

You can do it!

So, here’s the next question: do you Christmas shop for the family by yourself? (❤️) Or do you team up with your spouse? (❤️💚) Leave the colored heart that best describes you- below!
Hi friends! We hope that you are having an amazing Hi friends! We hope that you are having an amazing week and are having a blast gearing up for the holidays ahead. With 2020 coming to an end, we can all relate to how tough this year has been. However, the initial tendency as a parent might be to overspend in an effort to compensate for whatever did or didn't happen in 2020. ⁣
⁣
LET ME GIVE YOU THIS REASSURANCE, MOMMAS- it is NOT necessary to buy more during the holidays in order to compensate for whatever you feel your children lacked this year. ❤ ⁣
⁣
Instead, we highly suggest minimizing your Christmas stress by implementing a minimalistic mindset each year, but this year in particular. This year has blessed us with the specific opportunity to tune in and be more mindful of those you love, just like our Savior does for us. So take this time to BE more present instead of spending extra cash on gifts. We promise it will be absolutely worth it. ⁣

Today I’ve felt anxious. I know i’m not the on Today I’ve felt anxious. I know i’m not the only one feeling this way with the impending presidential announcement... so how do we handle feeling off, anxious or depressed? One of the best things you can do -right this moment- give a hug. Cuddle close to a loved one and hold one another. Breathe deep. And hug for another breath. And hopefully you’ll slowly feel that anxiety release. And feel free to cuddle longer. 😘
