Even if you don’t have school-age children or aren’t attending a fall semester as an adult, there is something about the September start of school that causes us to take a pause and reset; to revisit our lifestyle and reflect on our eating, sleeping, and exercise routines. We know that these aspects are the fundamentals of health, and no medication can replace them.
Beyond these measures, it is also important to spend time with people who lift your spirits and bring you positivity. Artistic outlets such as playing an instrument, working with clay, painting, needlework, woodworking, etc., can reduce stress and bring joy. What hobbies have you put aside because you were too busy? Only you can make these things a priority in your schedule.
Best of luck with your reset this fall!
