August is over again this year and we feel this imperceptible melancholy in September. There is no reason to feel this way! September is a wonderful month and we can have a great time!
THERE IS STILL TIME FOR VACATION
First of all think that it is just a date. Changing from August to September does not mean that our mood or the weather have to change automatically. Vacation does NOT finish on the 1st of September. The weather is still warm and we can schedule our holidays. Usually in September we have more choices in competitive prices. Not to mention the fact that seas are better without August winds and not so crowded. Even if we have children that must go to school we can still take advantage of the mild September weather for a weekend in nature, a daily excursion or just go swimming.
NEW ACTIVITIES
Furthermore, September is ideal for reorganizing. It is the best time to take care of yourselves after vacation and plan your activities for the next months. If you have children starting school you definitely have a lot of things to take care of. However, do not forget to think about yourself. See the new school year as an opportunity for you to discover your talents. If you ever wanted to start a hobby, do not postpone it any more. Do it now! You have unlimited choices: foreign languages, mind games, arts, handcrafts, activities in nature… whatever makes you happy. Usually the classes for all this activities start at the beginning of October so this is the right time to find what you would love to do.
Of course nothing gives greater pleasure and satisfaction than giving. Contact an animal welfare organization or stray shelter and ask how you can help. There are a lot of shelters that need people to take their dogs for a walk. Without spending much time you can have the most pleasant activity that is also combined with physical exercise. The love that you will receive by these animals is priceless!
What is important is to find ways to feel satisfied with your activities throughout the year. If you are having quality and creative time with your beloved ones the melancholy of September will go way.
Enjoy autumn!!!
