I was at lunch yesterday with a friend. I found out that she is going
through a very similar experience with this fall season. Are there
others out there that are feeling the effects of the fall?
Knowing
that I would find some comfort reigning in my life, I have continued to
watch the food consumption. Do you know that feeling, when you don't
know what to do next, so having something to eat fills the void!
Stepping on the scale each morning is helping me to remind myself that
the answer will not be found in food.
Oh, I can hear
the Yogic sages saying it, the answer is within you. Sometimes "within"
feels like planets and light years away! I have thrown out lots of
possibilities for the fall, and they will land as they need to, and I
will reach a moment when I will exhale completely, and say that the
sages were right, the answer was there all along.
Until
the Light comes in, meditation and yoga are good tools that will help
me search. Family life has changed, work life has changed, the weather
has changed... I need to remember to be good to myself.
To Stay Grounded During Fall
Eat cooked foods
Eat root vegetables (to ground you)
Add a little oil to foods (the winds of the fall dry you out)
Pay attention to bowel movements (prone to dryness and constipation)
Spend time in Nature
Begin to create a daily meditation time, morning is best (even if it is just 5 minutes - it is a start)
