Taking Stock
/Hello and welcome to September!
We have officially made it to the ber’s and here in the Northern Hemisphere that means that we’re rounding the corner on the final weeks of summer and preparing to shift into a new season, a brand new energy, and a new slower rhythm. You may be noticing the subtle signs of the fall peeking into your day to day life already. The slightly darker mornings, cool brisk air, and a gentle shift in the way the leaves and plants look are all gentle signs that change is happening all around us and that change is happening within us too. If you live somewhere that the heat and UV index is still intense and doesn’t seem to want to surrender to this seasonal shift, take heart; it is shifting and the weather will cool too.
While we’re in this lovely in between space of enjoying the last whimsical days of summer for the year and await the shift to all things cozy and Autumnal we get to make the most of this time. One of the big messages that I’ve been receiving and maybe you are too is all about taking stock. There are many meanings wrapped up in this message and I’ll share what I’ve received about this but please allow yourself to connect to the message to see what personal messages you receive.
At this time of year there are a lot of back to school messages and products pretty much everywhere you look. One of the aspects of this theme that came through was about organization and getting things set up for success. Even if you are no longer a professional student, a professional educator, or if there are no more students in your home, that’s okay this message can still support you. When we think about back to school we’re focusing on making sure we have what we need and often there are lists of required materials and then the things that we personally feel are a fit for us that will support us. You’ll also find organizational solutions, gadgets, and things to help maximize very small spaces.
This energy of starting fresh and getting things that are needed to move into this new phase is something that applies to all of us and we can capitalize on this energy of setting ourselves up for success while moving forward right now. There’s a strong message about “getting your house in order” coming through right now. By taking an honest inventory of the things that need to be done around your home, outside space, or anything that stands out to you can help you get your list together so you can prepare for success. While we have this window of opportunity to work with this momentum that’s happening right now it’s a great time to make a list so that you can see what you want to shift, change, edit, or update. Making the list may seem antiquated but it’s very powerful and allows for movement and achievement. You can give yourself a check mark, gold star, or cross things off your list as you accomplish them. There’s still time to get things lined up, prepared, and off your list so you’ll be ready for the slow down when it comes. By starting now, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much you can get done in just a seemingly small window of time.
The next aspect of this message is about looking over the list of things that you wanted to do this summer. Maybe there are still things that you wanted to do and feel like maybe you’ve missed your window. The great news is that you can still do a lot of the summer things that you may have tucked into your wish list. What were the things that you wanted to experience this summer? Sometimes the seemingly small things are actually the big things. Is there something that you could do today or this week that would feel like a quintessential summer experience for you? Maybe making popsicles, sun tea, grilling, or eating dinner outside on your porch, deck, or patio? Maybe riding bikes, going for a swim or floating down the river in your favorite tube? Maybe perusing your local farmers market and enjoying a slow Saturday morning while you enjoy your town with the eyes and excitement of a visitor? Maybe watching a movie in your backyard with snacks and some friends? Maybe...? You still have time to enjoy and experience some of your summer must do’s during this lovely shift we’re moving through right now.
The next aspect of this message includes taking stock of anything you may want to increase to the best of your ability. Things like a bit more firewood for your wood pile, pantry staples, house staples and anything special that you really enjoy having on hand. As supply chain changes and tariffs continue to ebb and flow, having a few things stocked up can be a big support system and also bring you peace of mind. You don’t need to approach this from a place of stress, but rather in the same way we think about grabbing a few extra notebooks, pens, sticky notes, and folders during back to school.
Finally, the message included support and encouragement for people who are being guided to preserve food in any ways that resonate for you. So, if you love to can, ferment, dehydrate, freeze, or freeze dry food, herbs, stocks, broths, and all the things, this message is for you. If you’ve been wanting to learn or refresh these skills in your own life, this message is for you too. (You can 100% learn how to do any of the preservation methods that resonate for you and there’s a wealth of knowledge and tutorials available on the interwebs.) Anything that you feel guided to put up now for a later date is a beautiful way to give yourself the gift of time and the taste of summer on a cold and rainy day. So, if it’s meals in jars, freezer meals, sourdough starter, fermenting crocks, or creating your own MRE’s for all you backpackers and trail hikers, this is a powerful time to honor that call.
As you can see, this message and theme of taking stock has a lot of layers and support for all of us at this time. Focus on the aspects that resonate for you and enjoy this magical in between time that we’re experiencing right now. You have time to enjoy the remaining days of summer while also riding the wave of momentum to get things finished and prepared for the slow down that’s right around the corner.
If you feel guided to work with me this month, I would love to support you in looking at the specific messages coming through for you around this theme or anything you would like to focus on right now.
I’m wishing you all the best as you set yourself up for success this month while enjoying magical summer days that shift into the beginning of autumnal coziness!
As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!
With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo
