7 Days to Shake Off the Seasonal Slump
Summer has waved us goodbye, the days are getting shorter, and before you know it, you’re considering hibernation as a valid life choice. If the change of season leaves you feeling sluggish, low in energy, or just not yourself, you’re not alone.
But here’s the good news: autumn doesn’t have to mean gloom. In fact, it can be the perfect time for a gentle reset, a chance to pause, refresh, and get yourself ready for the months ahead. That’s where the Autumn Reset Challenge comes in.
Why an Autumn Reset?
Think of autumn as nature’s tidy-up. Leaves fall, things slow down, and there’s a sense of preparing for what’s next. A reset helps you do the same for your mind and body, it will clear out the mental cobwebs and spark some fresh energy.
The 7-Day Autumn Reset Challenge
Here’s your week-long challenge to shift your mindset and lift your mood. No pressure, no perfection needed, just small, manageable steps.
🍁 Day 1: Clear One Space
Tidy your desk, a drawer, or that chair piled high with clothes. Creating a clear space = creating a clear head.
🍁 Day 2: Morning Light
Get outside for at least 10 minutes of natural light before 10am. It boosts energy and helps balance your mood.
🍁 Day 3: Move Differently
If you usually walk, try yoga. If you usually cycle, try a dance video. Shake things up — your brain loves novelty.
🍁 Day 4: Cosy Ritual
Light a candle, make a proper cup of tea, or take a warm bath. Slow down and enjoy the cosy side of autumn.
🍁 Day 5: Gratitude Jot
Write down three things you’re grateful for — big or small. (Yes, your favourite biscuits count.)
🍁 Day 6: Connect
Message a friend, arrange a coffee, or call someone you’ve been meaning to. Connection is fuel for the soul.
🍁 Day 7: Reset Goals
Ask yourself: What do I want to feel by the end of the year? Write down one small step you can take towards it this week. Download our Autumn Reset Checklist Free
