Many of us carry memories of the holidays from childhood, remembering the joy and wonder we felt when we were young. But if adult responsibilities have changed how you feel about the holidays and the main thing you now feel is stress, there are ways to rekindle the wonder of the season.

November can be a time of joy, generosity and togetherness. Yet it can also arrive bundled with stress, comparison and a sense of lack — whether financial, emotional or social. Cultivating abundance thinking and gratitude can transform not only how we experience our lives, but also how we connect with others and ourselves. 

Burnout can steal the joy from your life and make you feel like an empty shell of your former self. If you are feeling inexplicably exhausted, uninspired and questioning the value of the work you do, you may be suffering from burnout.

September arrives with a cool breeze, the sound of leaves skittering along the sidewalk and a feeling of transition as we start a new season. It provides a unique opportunity to reset, refocus and get organized for the year ahead.
