What Autumn Reveals: Let Go When Something Has Completed Its Season
Autumn doesn’t ask the trees to explain themselves before they let go. The leaves change color, loosen their grip, and fall. There’s no apology, no attempt to keep what once belonged to summer, no frantic effort to hold on just a little longer. What has completed its season is allowed to return to the earth.
However, we find it hard to let go because it feels like giving up. We’re driven to make things work, even when it’s difficult. We’re tenacious, resilient, and accustomed to finding a way forward, even when the path is demanding.
We’ve all heard that voice…the one that says, 
There is a moment that catches you off guard when life slows down. The calendar opens up. No one needs an answer from you. There isn't a major decision waiting to be made or a project rescued. For once, there is nowhere you have to be and nothing you have to accomplish. And instead of feeling relieved, you feel... unsettled.
When most people talk about “how to take care of yourself”, the advice usually centers on getting more sleep, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and making time to relax.
