Of all the seasons, Fall gets the most inspirational quote love. Why? Perhaps it’s the busyness of summer outings subsiding, maybe it’s a side effect of Pumpkin Spice (have we studied this?), or perhaps it’s grounded in sincere awe of the natural shift around us.

With all these inspirational quotes, what’s a girl to do? Check out these five fall quotes and the wise coaching they offer.

"Having to find my purpose is too much pressure!"

This is what my wise, wonderful friend Becky shared at our book club the other night and her admission made us ALL of us breathe a little easier. You know why? Because Becky always speaks the truth. On top of all the transitions we're going through right now, do we really have to worry about getting connected to our star aligned purpose? Becky and I vote no.

What if instead, we dedicated ourselves to our ENERGY?

All of us have to deal with unexpected change. Change we NEVER asked for….ever. No comment card, no suggestion box, no constructive feedback on your part has prompted this butt-kicking change you've got to deal with.

When you're responding to an unexpected change, it can be double the self-work, so why not get double the support? This blogpost is here to guide you to take this unexpected change and make a transition on your terms so you can love what’s next.

The inner critic does nothing but beat you up - so why do you let yourself cycle on these thoughts?

It could be because you’re deeply afraid that if you don’t keep beating yourself up, reliving the embarrassment, hiding on the sidelines, then you’ll make the mistake again. But this isn’t a given. You can quiet the inner-critic thoughts, build your confidence back and exit that dizzying, unwanted, rickety merry-go-round of self-criticism.

When it’s time to quiet your inner critic, check out these 3 steps inspired by the work of Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence and CEO of Positive Intelligence Inc.

Don’t wait weeks or months to truly detach from work, experience something new and stand in wonder of our world. Do it this week, in a 4-hour vacation. Let me help you plan it!

We can get caught up in draining cycles of doing, trying, and disconnected action through sheer force. When we do it too long - we start to wonder where WE are in all of it, where are our values? Priorities? Who even are we anymore? This exercise will help you redefine it.

So often we think we have to figure out everything alone - have the solution, complete the project, know the answer. This is a trap to stop falling into! We are stronger together and it starts with asking for help. This is a 5-step template to help you confidently and clearly ask for help.

We often feel pressure to have big, bold, elaborate, world-changing dreams, but sometimes we’re less “dreamer,” and more “get-through-the-day-er,”. These are the top 4 priorities you need right now to get through the day and then some.

This reflection on trees deconstructs our need to have gotten here on our own, to be independent, in service of others but not of ourselves.

I share this in celebration of our roots, trunks and buds that bloom.

Our energy impacts everything! It colors the lens we use to see the world and in turn, our thoughts, feelings, reactions, inactions and results.

And it’s not all rose-colored as the catchy phrase may make us think! Paying it forward takes energy and each of us are in a different spot on how much we’ve got these days. I invite you to give yourself some time to consider your own energy and when it comes to paying to forward, check what your energy is first!

How can we listen for change? A path to consider: self-assess, brush up on your active listening, and watch out for toxic positivity. Let’s be present and there for each other.

Yep, it’s time for some change. My intention in this post is to both activate my accountability to this community of change agents and inspire some new ideas for you to incorporate as we travel this journey together.

Our energy impacts everything - our thoughts, feelings, actions and results. And don’t forget, we are complex! Each of us have a unique balance of energies that show up differently when we are having a good day or when things have gone totally off course. The more we can raise awareness of our energy - the more we can make intentional choices about how we show up in ways that serve us and our impact on others.
