6 Fascinating Things I Learned About Myself September

Temperatures are lowering, the leaves are falling and the clothes are being layered.

October is here and I sit here in my dressing gown and cup of tea ready to reflect on September.

Last month, I took a short break from writing, which I hadn’t done for some time. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but I definitely needed it. Sometimes taking a step back can give you clarity as to what is truly important.

I was doing a lot, but not really achieving anything. As the month of September drew to a close, I made some decisions on what things were working for me and what wasn’t. Here’s what I discovered.

Regular exercise

It came as no real revelation that going for regular walks would be enjoyable. It’s something I’ve been doing on and off over the years and I’ve always enjoyed it. In September I brought it back and would like to embed this into my life, the same way I do brushing my teeth. Walking regularly only brings positive things to my life.

Moving forward with freelancing

Just before I said goodbye t,o September, I finally pitched an article. Of course, I am hopeful that it will be successful, but I would be silly to pin all my hopes on one pitch and I plan to pitch regularly going forward.
