Why Autumn is the New New Year: A Time for Wellness & Renewal 

As the leaves turn golden and the air becomes crisp, autumn arrives as a season of change and reflection. While many of us think of spring as a time for fresh starts, autumn, with its calming energy, can be just as powerful. For women, particularly during perimenopause, it’s the perfect time to reassess, reset, and create new goals around wellness. 

Autumn encourages us to slow down, look inward, and focus on nurturing ourselves. Much like perimenopause, it’s a transitional time that offers the opportunity to reflect, grow, and embrace new beginnings. 

Autumn Wellness: Embrace the Season of Change 

There’s something about autumn that feels grounding. The cool air, rich colours, and cosy nights give us the chance to reconnect with ourselves. It’s the season of harvest and, symbolically, the season for harvesting our personal growth. Just as nature prepares for a new cycle, so can we. 

For women experiencing perimenopause, autumn is the ideal time to focus on resetting routines, introducing healthy habits, and setting wellness goals.

Whether it’s improving sleep, increasing physical activity, or enhancing nutrition, this season is perfect for positive changes. 

Perimenopause Goals: Setting Intentions for Wellness 

Perimenopause can sometimes feel overwhelming with changes in mood, sleep, and energy levels. But it’s also an empowering time to focus on self-care and set new wellness goals.

This stage of life is a chance to redefine what health and balance mean to you. 

Here are some simple ways to approach wellness during autumn: 

  • Reset Your Routine: Perimenopause often disrupts established routines, but autumn is a wonderful time to refresh them. Introduce small but impactful habits, such as winding down earlier for better sleep or adding anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and leafy greens to your diet. A seasonal reset can help you feel more in control and energised. 
  • Create New Healthy Habits: Starting small is key. Set yourself up for success by choosing attainable wellness goals. Try a morning yoga routine, go for brisk autumn walks, or make a habit of prepping nutrient-rich meals in advance. The cooler weather is also perfect for experimenting with new warming, nutritious dishes like soups and stews. 
  • Find Joy in Seasonal Activities: Autumn brings with it a host of activities that can boost both body and mind. Go for a walk in nature to soak up the beauty of the changing leaves, enjoy a cosy evening with a good book, or try meditation by candlelight. Embracing autumn’s rhythm helps you stay present and recharge.

Autumn as a Time for Reflection 

Autumn isn’t just about taking action; it’s also about reflection. Take a moment to assess where you are and where you’d like to be.

Think of this season as a clean slate – shed any old habits or mindsets that no longer serve you. This is your chance to build a life centred on balance, joy, and wellness. 

Embrace this season, and see autumn not just as an end, but a beautiful new beginning.
