Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away. -Barbara De Angelis

Autumn is my favorite time of year in northern Michigan. The air is cool and crisp. Lake Michigan’s black water along with the colorful forest canopy show sure signs of the seasonal shift. My T-shirts and shorts have been replaced with blue jeans and sweatshirts. My senses are filled with the rustic smell of campfires and the sweet crunchy goodness of Honeycrisp apples and warm banana bread.

Right now is the perfect moment to honor your inner cave woman. If you are a man I suspect you are well-versed in cave time. =) You owe it to yourself to sit with all you’ve accomplished personally, professionally and spiritually this year. Give yourself credit for where you are right now. In this moment. Breathe. Pause. Smile. Then you can get your affairs in order for the rest of the year.

The autumnal equinox brings climate change and significant energetic shifts in our routines. Many of us are  supporting our children while they transition back to early mornings, school days, homework and extra curricular activities. Business picks up this time of year and holiday preparations are just around the bend. All of this change can contribute to anxiety and stress.

Here are a few ideas to help you remain centered and peaceful.

Allow for Rich and Meaningful Alone Time

How much time do you allow for quiet contemplation? Reading? Perhaps soaking up the sweetness of an afternoon nap? As you move toward the winter months in the Midwest and Northeast, creating spaciousness in your calendar is a recipe for life-balance. If you are like me you will go stark raving mad without some cave-time to recharge and be still.

Change Things up in Your Environment

Is your environment a bit stale? Often the simple act of rearranging your office space or living space will give you an energetic pick-me-up. It’s fun to move pictures, furniture and prized possessions to new locations. Invigorate your senses with a new candle or incense. I love simmering mulling spices this time of year.

Declare How You Want the Rest of the Year to Unfold

With a little more than 3 months left in 2011, it’s time to contemplate how you’d like your life to unfold before the holidays.  Which projects, experiences, ideas will you explore? I recommend making time to write or key-in a declaration of sorts. How do you wish the rest of 2011 to play out? Dreaming and planning your road-map alleviates stress and 11th hour decision making.

Alone time, environmental shifts and directional declarations will support you during times of change. You deserve to carve out some time for yourself. No excuses. Honoring your inner cave woman begins now.

Solitude is the salt of personhood. It brings out the authentic flavor of every experience. -May Sarton
