The combination of Daylight Savings Time and Fall moving into Winter means things are getting dark. For many of us, that darkness creeps into our emotional state as well. Changes of season, both in the climate and in our lives can be challenging, but they also bring about opportunities for growth and positive change.
This Week’s Listener Question:
Christine, we just turned our clocks back in Colorado for daylight savings. I despise the fact that it’s dark before 5:00 pm now. Fall makes me feel depressed. My body and mind seem to resist this time of year. I just want to fast forward to Spring. You’re always helping us see different perspectives. Can you give me greater hope to embrace Fall into Winter?
Small Group Questions:
To build connection with a friend or in your small group, ask each other these questions.
1. How do you feel about the changing seasons and the shortening of daylight? What emotions come up for you?
2. Do you like the idea of hunkering down or do you have parts that resist it?
3. During this season of your life, what do you need to surrender, let go of, or prioritize?
4. Tap into your curiosity and brainstorm a list of new creative projects or growth opportunities that could enrich this season of your life.
