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


Your Autumn Toolkit

To keep the momentum going, you could:

  • Create a mini checklist for the 7 days.
  • Repeat the challenge anytime you feel sluggish.
  • Adapt it to suit your lifestyle — this isn’t about rules, it’s about feeling good.

Final Thought

Autumn might bring shorter days, but it also brings the chance to pause, reset, and find new energy. Try the Autumn Reset Challenge and see how a few small changes can shift your whole season.
