Hello, Authentic Glow community!
As the days grow shorter and the crisp scent of autumn is just around the corner, we're taking a moment to reflect on the lessons and memories of Summer 2025. This season, like all others, brought its own unique blend of sunshine, challenges, and growth. Let's dive into some of the key takeaways that helped us all shine a little brighter.
1. The Books We Needed
Did you find a book that spoke to your soul this summer? For many of us, the warmer months offer a chance to slow down and dive into a new world, a different perspective, or a self-help guide that offers a new lens for our journey. Whether it was a thrilling novel that kept you on the edge of your seat or a non-fiction book that sparked a new passion, remember the feeling it gave you. That's a feeling we can carry forward.
2. Baked Seafood and New Recipes
Summer is often a time for culinary exploration, and there's something so satisfying about a perfectly baked piece of seafood. But this point isn't just about food; it's about the joy of trying something new. Perhaps you mastered a new dish, hosted a memorable dinner party, or simply enjoyed a meal with loved ones. These moments of connection and creativity nourish us in more ways than one.
3. The Work We Needed
While summer often brings a desire to disconnect, it can also be a time for meaningful work. Maybe you started a new project, tackled a challenge at your job, or spent time on a personal endeavor that brought you closer to your goals. The "work we needed" is often the work that brings us a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Acknowledge the effort you put in and celebrate your progress.
4. Car Blues
Let's face it, life isn't always smooth sailing. For many, a car issue or a similar unexpected problem threw a wrench in our summer plans. The "car blues" represent those moments of frustration and inconvenience that test our resilience. How did you handle it? Did you lean on your support system, practice patience, or find a creative solution? These challenges, while difficult, remind us of our strength and resourcefulness.
5. Packing & Moving: The Art of Transition
Whether you physically moved or simply packed away summer clothes, this lesson is about the art of transition. Life is a series of changes and knowing how to navigate them with grace is a key part of personal growth. What did you let go of this summer? What did you welcome in? Embracing change, even when it's uncomfortable, is essential for creating space for new opportunities.
6. Vision Board Planning for 2026
As we look ahead, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your vision for the future. What do you want to achieve, feel, and experience in 2026? Use the lessons from this summer to inform your goals. Create a vision board—whether it's a physical one or a digital one—that reflects your dreams and aspirations. Let the authentic glow within you guide the way.
As we say goodbye to Summer 2025, let's carry these lessons with us. Remember the moments of joy, the challenges you overcame, and the growth you experienced. You are on a powerful journey, and we are so grateful to be a part of it.
With love and light,
The Authentic Glow Coaching Team
