35. Before You Start a New Routine, Ask Yourself This

September can bring a strong desire to start fresh. New routines. New habits. New goals. A little more structure.

And there’s nothing wrong with that. But before we jump into changing everything, what if we paused to get curious about why we want to change in the first place?

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the transition from summer into fall, the idea of September as a “return to yourself” kind of month, and the difference between making changes from self-love versus trying to fix something we don’t like about ourselves.

We’ll explore:

• What’s underneath your desire to change

• The emotions and beliefs that can drive new habits

• Whether you’re moving toward something you want or away from something you don’t like

• The cycle of starting new routines, falling off, and feeling like you’ve failed

• What it might look like to meet yourself where you are instead

• How self-connection can help us make choices that actually support us in the season we’re in

Then, we’ll move into a short somatic practice together—a few minutes of gentle, intuitive movement and noticing.

Take a breath, let’s slow down together.
