Embracing Change During the Fall Equinox
As the Fall Equinox marks the balance between day and night, it also signals the shift from summer’s warmth to autumn’s cool embrace. Just as the seasons change, so too do we experience shifts in our personal lives — be it in relationships, careers, or self-identity. This time of transition invites reflection, renewal, and the opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us.
At Botaitis Therapy Group, we believe that life transitions, like the changing seasons, hold the potential for growth and transformation. Here’s are some reflection exercises to mindfully embrace these changes during the fall season.
Reflective Questions:
What in my life needs to be released right now?
How can I create space for new opportunities?
Journaling for Clarity During Transitions
Journaling can be a powerful tool for navigating periods of change. It helps us process our emotions and gain insight into the transitions we are facing. Below are some prompts to guide your writing during this season of transformation.
Journal Prompts:
What significant changes have I experienced recently? How have they shaped me?
What patterns or beliefs am I ready to release?
How can I maintain balance as I navigate this period of transition?
What do I hope to gain from this next chapter of my life?
How can I honor my own process of transformation?

Poetry for Autumn Reflection
Poetry can capture the beauty and emotion of change, offering a sense of comfort and understanding. Here are two brief poems that reflect on the themes of autumn and transitions:
“Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost (Excerpt)
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
“Autumn Song” by Sarojini Naidu (Excerpt)
Like a joy on the heart of a sorrow,
The sunset hangs on a cloud;
A golden storm of glittering sheaves,
Of fair and frail and fluttering leaves,
The wild wind blows in a cloud.
