How To Practice A Kinder Way of Being In Your Body And Life

Inside:  One of the most life-changing habits that I have adopted is weaving a seasonal living practice throughout my life and work. Seasonal living teaches us a kinder way of being in our body and life.

Happy spring!

If you want to quiet the noise and practice a kinder way of being in your body and life, one of the most impactful choices you can make is to practice Seasonal Living.

There are, of course, many paths to wholeness. Many paths to a brave and beautiful life.

But a seasonal living framework is one of the things that I know to be hugely impactful and empowering in life. It’s a way to help us thrive and experience more joy in every season.

Seasonal living helps us practice a kinder way of being

I began my seasonal living journey with menstrual cycle tracking in my early to mid-30s. Pretty quickly this changed my experience of life. I no longer felt buffeted about by hormonal shifts or felt like the sky was falling once a month. Further, I began to understand what was happening in my body. And I became more attuned to my internal shifts of emotion/mood, energy, creativity, and more.

My self-awareness soared, and my friendship with Self grew over time, as I released judgment and comparison and leaned into each season. Then I became more proactive in my life. I could plan (at least more of the time) my life and creative work according to the seasons as I learned to work with not against my true wiring and capacity. This is a counter-cultural way of living, of course, in a culture that celebrates “perpetual summer.”

Over the years my practice deepened. And today I practice multiple layers of Seasonal Living.

Today, we’ll talk about using each seasonal shift throughout the year to look up (reorient and recalibrate), look in (slow downward to listen inward), and look around (make practical shifts or updates to our life), to support our wholeness and joy.
