Different times have different energy. Whether it is seasons of the year or a phase in our life, each of these eras have their own way of being and pace.
It's tricky if we're in auto-pilot to be in tune with these. When we aren't paying attention we can try to will the energy to be something else. Though it can feel in the moment like we're trying to get on the faster path, when we do this we are actually creating a friction that's slowing things down. Developing a habit of noticing these frictions can help us to look up and see if we're working against the energy.
Though it's still technically summer, September has a different energy. I'm trying to set an intention to align my own energy with it rather than trying to force things to where I want them to be.
