Welcome to a New Year aka September. 

Hit the reset button that only happens in "New Year" aka September. A new year is an opportunity to refresh and refocus, and to set new intentions. The start of a new season is always marked by a new beginning every September. As summer ends, life changes, and it's up to each individual to embrace it. Almost every year, life presents us with challenges that we must overcome. Life is made up of phases and trial and error. The month of September is a perfect opportunity to make changes for the better. The autumn aesthetics are coming out in less than a month. September is a time of transition and change with reflection.

September marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in many parts of the world. The summer holidays are over and we're back to our regular routines, while for some, it's a sign that we're ready to take on new challenges and overcome old obstacles. Now I’m starting my new year on September 1st as a way to make changes, prepare for next year and finish this year successfully. 

September 1st marks the start of a new clean slate with major transitions, old habits being wiped away, and routines being reinstated. A clean slate can be reevaluating relationships, responsibilities, cleaning your space, starting over, making changes, hitting milestones and major changes in your life. September is the time to do the work and get back on track. Despite the long and tiring work, the result is worth it. Resetting and realigning in September is empowering while everything around you changes. Get focused and build momentum for your journey and successes into the final months of the year.
