Key takeaways

• Notice where you’re saying yes when you mean no, or over giving to avoid discomfort.
• Reconsider what you value now—not just what mattered to you in the past.
• Look for more reciprocity in relationships, work, friendships, and your relationship with yourself.
• Treat review as an opportunity to reflect and revise, rather than retreat.
• Choose a sustainable pace and take a step toward the creative project you’ve been postponing.

• “Review, don’t retreat.”
• “October isn’t asking you to become someone new. It’s asking you to get honest about what no longer fits.”
• “The life that feels good on a random Tuesday morning.”
