Cold Mornings in the Fall
The first breath outside bites a little, and everything slows; the porch step, the car’s defrost, the sun taking its time. Cold reminds the body to notice: the warmth in your mug, the weight of your scarf, the way the air wakes your lungs. This is a season that invites gentler starts and deliberate choices.
Try this today
Pause at the door for three deep breaths before stepping out.
Wrap your hands around a warm mug and name one thing you’re grateful for.
Take a five-minute “crisp air” walk; listen for what only autumn mornings sound like.
Set one intention for the day that matches the season’s pace: steady, unhurried, purposeful.
Questions to reflect on
What do colder mornings ask me to let go of so the day feels lighter?
Where can I trade speed for presence?
How might I carry this quiet into my first meeting, class, or conversation?
Small rituals build big calm. Start simple, stay consistent.
