The 5th Season of Late Summer
During late summer, the Earth's energy is at its peak, with nature's fruits at their ripest and crops ready for harvest. This is a time to embrace and make the most of nature's abundance, gathering all that Mother Nature provides before the colder months arrive.
But what does this mean for our health and wellbeing?
My interpretation is that this is the perfect time to "fill up my own cup" by nurturing myself, getting grounded, and reconnecting with nature. It's an opportunity to recharge with positive energy, nourish my body with wholesome food, and savour the last of summer's abundance before the shorter days and cooler temperatures set in.
If you have the time to go on a last of the summer wellbeing break, find my personal recommendations for getting close to nature and bringing in inner calm and harmony. I have visited all of these magical places and can vouch for them personally.
If a trip isn't possible, take a look at my blog for some great practices to incorporate into your daily routine.
