One of the things that has had a major impact on both my productivity and my enjoyment of life has been discovering my rhythm. A profound part of that has been learning to work with the seasons. The 3-month length of a season seems just right for creating a focus, making a change and bringing a project to life. Add in the natural energies of summer, fall, winter and spring and you’ve got magic!

With transition just around the corner, it’s time to cherish the season we’re leaving behind before we start our dreaming for the next.

Here are some journal prompts to help you celebrate and learn from the summer (or winter) that was!

What season are you celebrating (eg. Summer of 2015)?

What were the major events of the season?

What was the mood or tone of this season?

Where did your interests lie this season?

What did you create or accomplish this season?

How would you describe the “you” that you have been this season?

What contributed to your well-being this season?

Who did you hang out with this season?

What are you proud of this season?

What did you learn (or re-learn) this season?
