One: Notice the trees
No matter whether you live in the city or in the countryside. When driving, walking or sitting on a bus or train. Take a moment to look at the trees. Every day they are changing in Autumn as they gradually turn from luscious green to the golden yellows, oranges and reds.
Two: Walking
Nothing beats going for a walk on a crisp bright Autumn morning. As the temperature lowers wrapping up a little more in a jumper or coat. Listening to the crunch of the leaves under your feet and the light beaming between the trees. The rewarding yourself with a hot drink at the end.
Three: Bring Autumn into the home
As the temperature starts to drop. Warm up your home with so autumn colours. Add little accents around the home such as cushions. Maybe use candles with autumn shades and scents. Use Autumn scents such as Apple, cinnamon or nutmeg.
Four: Enjoy Autumn food
Autumn is harvest time and it's a great time to enjoy the foods on offer at seasonal prices. Make an apple bake, crumble or toffee apples. Poach pears in spiced red wine. Make pumpkin soup with a kick of chilli served with fresh baked bread still warm from the oven. There are also some great festivals to celebrate with food such as Bonfire night in the UK and Halloween.
Five: Make a fresh start
Autumn is a great time for a fresh start. It's the start of the academic year in the UK and children grudgingly go back to school. Give the house a good clean in preparation of spending more time indoors. Check you plans for the future and see if you need to make any changes. Be ready for the preparation towards Christmas. The run up in retail begins in September.
Autumn is a great season to enjoy nature and the beautiful planet we live on. Quite often we get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget to enjoy the present. Take a moment to enjoy Autumn's bounty it is good for the body and the mind.
Lots of love
