Establish a NEW routine or invigorate one that you let lapse, just a bit
How?

- Set goals for that routine. Right here, you’ve tackled the biggest organizational tips for success and sanity this season. Determine what you want to achieve this autumn period. Break it down into actionable steps.
- Set goals and stay motivated and focused and on schedule so you can fit in all the good stuff and the mandatory, too.
Embrace seasonal activities
How?
- Enjoy outdoor beauty before we start getting lazy for the indoor comforts and the laziness that can ensue! Take advantage of the vibrant colors and crisp air by engaging in activities like hiking, biking, or simply going for walks in nature.
- Explore local events. There’s still lots of life to love with festivals, fairs, and community gatherings happening in your area.
- Both are a great way to get into the autumn spirit and make lasting memories.
Prioritize self-care
How?
There’ll be more on this in upcoming blogs because it is important. For now, try this:
- Practice mindfulness. Incorporate mindfulness techniques such as meditation or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress and maintain emotional well-being.
- Get enough sleep. As your routine becomes busier, ensure you prioritize adequate sleep to rejuvenate your body and mind.
- For most of us, the clocks still get changed and we don’t want to lose sleep, focus or momentum, right?
Stay organized
How?
- Use calendars and planning tools: Utilize digital or physical calendars, planners, or task management apps to keep track of appointments, deadlines, and commitments.
- Create daily to-do lists: Prioritize tasks and break them into manageable steps to stay organized and efficient.
- Fall feels like a natural time to take stock and get everything in its place, ahead of winter, doesn’t it?
Boost your immunity and practice mindful nutrition
For this last one, we blend two concepts. They both centre on the state of your kitchen pantry, for you as an individual and for anyone you feed and care for in that space. Both require you to pay attention and yet not to have to overthink things. That may require some input on planning the most efficient food intake options. How? Here are some ideas on superfoods & superherbs from Dr. Moondust.
How?
About immunity:
- Eat a balanced diet. This means consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to provide your body with essential nutrients and support your immune system.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and healthy beverages with electrolytes to keep your body hydrated and maintain optimal immune function.
About mindful nutrition:
- Incorporate seasonal produce. Embrace autumn vegetables like pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts, which are rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.
- Warm and comforting meals: Prepare soups, stews, and roasted dishes using seasonal ingredients to nourish your body and provide a sense of comfort during the cooler months. LINK to other articles
Take advantage of the harvest of plenty that comes with this season. If you’d like to learn more, Dr. Moondust created a September video to help ‘spice up your life’ with highly nutritious and health-protective superfoods and superherbs. They are remarkably economical and often more resilient to price fluctuations than other staple foods in your diet.
So, go ahead and make up your shopping list, and be sure you include some of these goodies, too:
- Nutritious autumn fruits: Highlight the benefits of apples, pears, cranberries, and grapes, which are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber.
- · Nourishing autumn vegetables: Discuss the nutritional value of seasonal vegetables like squash, kale, beets, and carrots, which are packed with essential nutrients and support overall health.
