As I was writing today’s date on my journal I thought about this amazing quote by Gretchen Rubin “September is the other January”. I read it in her book “Happier at Home” a few years ago and loved it ever since.

Gretchen Says:
“September marks the start of a new year, with the empty calendar and clean slate of the next school cycle. Even if you are no longer in school yourself, September nevertheless remains charged with possibility and renewal.”

I was happy when I found out that the author Jon Acuff thinks the same. In a recent live, he called January and September “the slingshot months of the year” where we can benefit from the collective energy to start new things or get back on track. He’s even releasing a challenge soon called “Back to”. Sign up now, because his challenges are the best, and they are free!

What do you say? Can you feel this new year energy too?

Let us get back to our goals, to learning, to exercising, to saving, to decluttering, to meditating. Let’s finish we started or start something new. Let us use the blessing of school routines, which we terribly missed, to get back to our own beautiful routines.
