• Lessons we can learn from the changing fall season

• A must-know kids’ nutrition tip

• Why you should consider rearranging your furniture

Spark Change By Looking Through a Different Lens

While, as humans, we love to have routines and stability, there are also times we want something new or different in our lives.

However, sometimes, we may not even know what it is that we want to have different — or we may not know how to spark that change.

One way we can embrace change is by looking through a different lens.

Taking a look at things differently can help us get off autopilot, develop new ways of thinking, and explore creative ideas!

When we take a step back, it allows us to consider things we may never have before!

It can also help us explore different sides of ourselves and consider what we can do to embrace our values in various ways.

While it seems like a small shift, being intentional in looking at life through a different lens can bring change in positive ways.

Try thinking a little differently, and asking questions that challenge your typical way of thinking to embrace this idea!

Lessons We Can Learn from the Changing Fall Season

Fall is often described as the season of change. The changing leaves, cooling weather, and shifts in the world around us as it prepares for a season of cold can teach us so much.

There are so many powerful lessons we can learn from this season and adopt in our own lives!

First, we can learn to embrace shifts in our environment. Even though it can be frustrating or scary when things are out of our control, learning to adapt to these external factors just as trees, plants, and animals do when the weather starts to drop can help us move through them a little more easily.

Next, we can be inspired by the beautiful changing fall colors to take time and practice gratitude. There is so much beauty in the world around us and in our lives, and there is so much to be grateful for.

Fall can also serve as a reminder that we ourselves go through different seasons. Our struggles are not forever, and even after the harsh “winter” seasons we weather in our own lives, there is a spring of new growth that follows.

Is It Time To Rearrange Your Furniture?

Rearranging your furniture can be a fun, exciting way to change the spaces we inhabit — plus, it has some great benefits for our minds, as well!

1. Bring a new perspective into your home: This may help you look at your home in a new light and find some new love for your space — or inspire other creative ideas!

2. Keep things interesting: This is a great way to keep your home exciting if you are getting bored of the space.

3. Create efficiency and a better flow: Embrace the practice of feng shui to make your space a harmonious place to be.

4. Affordably update your living space: Rather than buying new furniture, this is a completely free way to refresh your space!

5. Create a space you love and practice environmental self-care: Environmental self-care is all about the spaces in which we live. This is a great way to care for our homes and make them a welcoming place.

6. Help adapt to change: Intentionally changing our environments can help us get more accustomed to change in other areas — whether it’s expected or not.
