“The Winter walks on clogs, Autumn on slippers.” Gilbert Cesbron

The days are becoming shorter, the evenings are getting longer. Our energy level and sometimes our mood are going down. If you look at the falling leaves outside you might get the feeling that you long for a sunny summer day. But you don’t have to do that, the Autumn has a lot to offer to us.

Set up a new “To do” list.

Autumn lends itself to a reset. Review everything and evaluate the period that has passed, set up new goals for the coming period. Everything in life switches to a lower gear and you can oversee everything that has gone well or not that well. It is time to set up a new “To do” list for the coming period.
