Prioritizing Calm, Consistency, and Cozy
/
It’s October!
I can’t believe I’m waking up and it’s already October. If you love this time of year, whether it’s the hot apple cider, pumpkin spice everything, sweaters, cozy socks, or the beautiful colors that mother nature provides, you’re not alone. Or, if you’re here for spooky season and all the fun and magic that comes with that, welcome to the magical month we call October. No matter what speaks to you this time of year there is something that happens when we officially turn the calendar today. I’m joining you in the excitement, nostalgia, and the intention to pack all my favorite things into the next 31 days to the best of my ability. (That will include a lot of baking, simmer pots, hot drinks, Harry Potter rewatch, and all the cozy vibes.)
While I personally believe that this month officially kicks off operation cozy, this year there are some other themes showing up to offer us some support and focus as we move forward too. You may have noticed over the last several weeks or maybe even longer that you’re receiving a strong message about cultivating a routine that feels supportive for you. Something positive and uplifting that you can focus on that doesn’t take much time but also allows you to see progress as you invest in your routine. Maybe you’ve been guided to get back to a workout schedule that you’ve let go for a bit. Maybe you’re being guided to start something new to shake up your exercise routine a bit. Some people have been guided to do a bit of a clear out of foods that aren’t really resonating for them anymore. Others are being guided to do a daily meditation, journal exercise, or get back to a creative outlet regularly. Some people are being urged to change their sleeping schedules so they go to bed 30 minutes earlier (or more) so they can start their day refreshed in the morning. What have you noticed showing up for you?
Whatever messages you’ve been receiving about starting something new or recommitting to a routine is a powerful message of support right now. In focusing on one or maybe more than one area this month, not only will you cultivate consistency, you’ll create and nurture new neural pathways. (win win) You’ll also find that it helps to reduce tension and stress that may be holding space within and around you, allowing you to support and even recalibrate your nervous system so you feel more calm and more like yourself. These are really important benefits that you can receive no matter what you’re guided to invest in this month. I was shown that this aspect that may seem small is actually a significant shift for you and for everyone who honors this guidance. With increased tensions, stress, and uncertainty being a theme showing up in news cycles consistently, this skill set will be a strong asset in supporting you as you continue to move through this month and the remainder of the year. You may find that you can inspire someone else in your life to make this important shift too.
One of my favorite things about this time of year, it’s really difficult to choose only 1 favorite is the fact that there’s something innate or hard wired within us to begin pulling our energy within. There’s a deep call to slow down, to hunker down, and to enjoy creature comforts every day. Little things like changing up lighting for twinkle lights, a fire in the fireplace, candles, cozy blankets, the fuzziest of socks, all the pillows, a favorite homemade soup simmering on the stove, and crisp October air help to click this feeling into place. It’s like all at once we all feel this call to begin making our spaces calm, comfortable, and cozy. We move into a space where calm and peace become a conscious priority for us and that theme is especially prescient right now. What a perfect time to be focusing on this theme of making our physical spaces and internal spaces a place where we feel calm, comforted, and at peace. This focus automatically supports us in choosing relationships and experiences that resonate with these priorities too. You’ll find that as you make this shift, the other shifts and changes happen organically, almost as if by magic. This deep call to make calm, gentle, and peaceful spaces a part of our daily lives is especially timely for us, and any investment in this goal will be a worthy use of your time and energy. You will yield the benefits of cultivating these themes this month and as you move forward.
People often ask me why I believe this month tends to bring “more” connections, communication, synchronicity, or messages from angels, guides, or departed loved ones. Maybe you’ve pondered this too. I don’t think there’s one “correct answer” on this topic; however, I do believe it’s a combination of things happening at the same time. I do see the veil thin during this time of the year which allows for more connections and moments of clear messages coming through in all different ways. However, we actually receive messages all the time, sometimes it’s just not as easy for people to notice them due to their busy lives. This brings me to another aspect of what I see contributing to this experience for people…the quiet, calm, and peaceful focus of this time of year allows for an easier connection or a “stronger” connection to be experienced. A combination of quieting the mind and the body paired with the thinning veil and of course the energy infused into this month all work together to help increase these experiences for people. If you’re wanting to increase your connection this season, this is a great time to pay extra attention to messages you see, hear, feel, and know. If you enjoy dream journaling this is a great time to write down your dreams throughout October to look for themes and insights. It’s also a great time to schedule a reading, if that feels like a fit for you. Remember you can always ask your guides, angels, and departed loved ones to give you a message that you’ll easily notice and understand.
This month is filled with so many beautiful changes, which are happening all around us each and every day. These changes are impacting you and your life too. The more that you can allow yourself to enjoy and lean into these changes the more you’ll find that you automatically click into the themes and messages of prioritizing calm, consistency, comfort, and of course, cozy. These are so important for all of us across the board, but perhaps even more so at this time we are called to make peace a personal priority.
Make a wish list or a dream board for all things October. Play in the energy of all things fall, autumnal, pumpkin spice, cozy books, and all the aspects that light up your heart and soul as you think about all the ways to enjoy this entire magical month. By playing, being joyful, and loving the things that call to us, we automatically shift into calm, comfort, and cozy too. In fact, the more often we allow ourselves to do this, to laugh, play, and have fun we cultivate consistency too. (win win win) So, go big with your operation cozy this month in all the ways that call to you; it’s so worth it in so many ways! You are 100% worth it!
I’m wishing you a wonderfully magical and cozy October! May it bring you all the joys and whimsy your heart desires while also supporting you in infinite ways!
As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!
With deepest love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo
