Isn’t it interesting that the seasons we consider most magical are the ones where nature is the most dormant?
The leaves fall. The light fades. The world quiets.
And yet, we call it magic.
As a therapist (and a recovering perfectionist), I think about this a lot. How rest and stillness can feel uncomfortable, even wrong, in a culture that praises constant growth and productivity. But nature reminds us that dormancy isn’t failure — it’s part of the rhythm. It’s preparation. It’s renewal.
If you’ve been feeling tired lately… unmotivated, low-energy, or not quite like yourself…maybe you’re not falling behind.
Maybe you’re just in your own season of stillness.
And maybe, like nature, your quiet season is what allows your next bloom to be even more vibrant.
What if you didn’t rush yourself back into busy? What if you trusted the pause to do its work?
