September 2023 Journal Prompt
September, with its transition from the warmth of summer to the crisp embrace of autumn, carries a profound symbolism of change and renewal. As the leaves begin to turn brilliant shades of red and gold, it signifies a time for reflection and transformation, much like nature shedding its old skin. September also marks the start of a new school year for many, representing the pursuit of knowledge and growth. Moreover, it holds the bittersweet aroma of nostalgia, evoking memories of lazy summer days and the anticipation of the holiday season ahead. This ninth month in the calendar serves as a reminder that life is a continuous cycle, where endings make way for fresh beginnings, making it a poignant symbol of transition and the ever-constant march of time.
The ‘harvest’ months are a time to celebrate and share the fruits of our labors. Think about the energetic and spiritual seeds you planted in spring, what has grown? How have you grown? In what ways are you moving different? Showing up different? How does it feel?
Take your time and answer these questions honestly, regardless of how uncomfortable it may feel. You do not need to share your responses. This is an exercise for human and soul to speak to one another. The more honest and detailed you are, the more alignment you start to create.
From here, we will build each month. By the end of the year, you will have written (and lived) a new story for yourself.
