A Seasonal Overview...

Autumn is most definitely here, and with it comes a need to re-evaluate.
I don't know if I'm alone in saying this, but I love the opportunity that new seasons bring. Particularly with Autumn as it's such a change-there's something so exciting about getting all my cosy jumpers out, lighting some candles, and snuggling up with my dog and a hot chocolate. Who needs the summer sun?

I also tend to have seasonal clear-outs, so I've been chucking out a load of clutter from all around my house from clothes to crockery. Like I said, there's something special about starting anew. But this year, a few more things have changed in my personal life too. Over the summer my job, my relationships and my goals for the future have all shifted slightly, so naturally I'm having to think deeply about what it is I want to achieve at the moment (which is therapeutic, but also quite confusing as it's all changing at once!).

So here are my autumnal sights-things I want to keep focus of and improve upon from now until the end of November (winter time).
I hope you can gain some inspiration from this yourself!

1) Keeping Healthy
I've already come down with a cough, so this has not started well! As the seasons change it it so easy to come down with something, so I'll be investing in a lot of tea and warm hoodies this month, but I am mainly referring to fitness goals here. I had a great summer and after losing 2 stone in weight, gained a lot of new confidence, but I have hit a wall with my fitness and definitely don't want to lose track of it any more. The thing is, I HATE exercise, so waking up at 6am on a cold morning to go for a run is not my idea of fun. But I know I need to suck it up this month and take care of my body or the Christmas treats will be getting the better of me before I know it. Resolution: Join a class- something indoors! And WARM.
