🍁 This Season, I Choose Softness.

I had big plans for today.

You know those “I’m going to get everything done and change my life” Mondays?

Yeah. Instead, I woke up with a sore throat, blocked nose, and the kind of foggy brain that can only be described as “airplane germs and bad decisions.”

So instead of being wildly productive, I’m under a blanket in the lounge with a purring Ghost pressed against my legs like a vibrating hot water bottle.

The rain’s tapping against the window. The trees outside are gold and wild.

And somewhere between the sniffles and the second cup of tea, I realised something:

Maybe today isn’t meant for pushing. Maybe it’s meant for softening.

🍂 Nature doesn’t fight the season, and neither should we.

Every year, the trees release what no longer serves them.

No drama. No guilt. No rushing.

They don’t cling to what’s finished.

They just let go.

And maybe we’re allowed to do the same — to slow down, gather what still feels good, and make space for what’s next.

Softness isn’t weakness.

It’s wisdom.

It's trust.

🕯️ This season, I choose softness.

I am allowed to rest.

I am allowed to let go.

I gather what is good.

I hold what is true.

I trust the light will return. And so will I.

When I created this affirmation pack, it became my own quiet reminder.

That healing doesn’t always look like doing, sometimes it looks like being.

Like pausing.

Like curling up with a blanket, breathing, and remembering that rest isn’t wasted time — it’s part of the cycle.

🍁 Your invitation.

Create a cosy corner that feels like you.

A place to breathe, sip something warm, and remember that you’re allowed to take up space without constantly producing something.

Let your body soften.

Let your mind settle.

Let your spirit exhale.

Because you don’t have to hold it all together right now. You just have to hold yourself.
