1595: Allow yourself time for season transitions
Today's episode is a permission slip to use your bonus time for you, and how to do that when time is sparse.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Monday to you. So one of the things I've been talking quite a lot about on the Daily Pep! for the last couple of years is the idea of following the cycles of the season, following our own cycles, and also figuring out and listening to the season that we're actually in. And I want to kick off this week on the Daily Pep with a reminder that you also have adjustment periods and transitions between seasons. There simply are times where we don't know what coat to wear, we're not quite sure what the weather's doing, and things don't feel firmly one thing or another thing. And I think when it comes to seasons in our lives or we give ourselves a bit of a hard job if we haven't figured it out. But sometimes we just have to give it a bit of time. And that might also look like metaphorically going out with the wrong jacket on and getting too hot or being too cold. And that's okay, too.
And also it's okay that seasons aren't linear. Sometimes during a blazing hot summer, you will have a really rainy week. And that isn't something to blame yourself for. It's just the way that things sometimes go. So as you listen to this, give yourself extra grace if you find yourself between seasons. Give yourself even more kindness if the season you're in doesn't match the season you want to be in. And remember, in this big metaphor, you have a lot of scarves, you have a lot of different coats in different fabrics, in different weights. You have so many tools that you've built up over the years.
It's just sometimes we forget they exist. But just because they've been at the back of the wardrobe or they smell a bit musty doesn't mean that they don't work. Have a good rummage, have a good start to your week, and I'll see you tomorrow.
