🍁 September Shifting 🍁

This morning, when I went out for my early run, I really noticed a change in the weather.  Just last week, I spotted a few yellow leaves hanging on the trees, but today, there are more of them - on the trees and scattered on the ground. The days are getting shorter, there's a very slight chill in the air, and the rain’s back in Amsterdam. A lot of friends and fellow entrepreneurs have mentioned “summer went by so fast!” and I couldn’t agree more. It feels like the transition from summer to fall happened overnight.

🍂 How are you handling the September shift? 🍂 

If you’re an international, you may have just returned from a summer holiday, and now, you’re back in your life abroad. Maybe you visited your home country, and now you’re adjusting again to the rhythm of life in your new or not–so–new city. You may be feeling homesick, grief, loss, some anxiety. Returning to work, school, or the normal flow of life after a break can take some time.

🏃‍♀️ Adding movement into your routine can really help ease this transition. 🏃‍♀️

The research backs it up! Movement helps clear your mind, improve focus, boost your mood, and improve your sleep. It doesn’t take long to feel the benefits. Just getting outside and moving your body for a bit can create a routine that brings a sense of control - especially helpful as we move through this season change.

👟 What you can do today: 

Set a plan to get outside and add some movement to your day. Whether it’s a walk, a run, or just stretching outdoors, it’s a great way to support yourself through the transition. It's the perfect way to keep grounded as the seasons shift. 

👟 Your "to do" list for today: Contact a friend, find your sneakers and get out there. You will feel better.
