What the autumn equinox teaches us about letting go

Happy autumn equinox. Today marks that perfect moment when day and night hold equal space, when light and darkness find their balance.

There's something profound about standing at the threshold between seasons. It reminds us that we don't have to choose between being strong and being tender, between holding on and letting go, between growth and rest.

Three practices for this equinox season:

1. Daily Release: Each morning, ask yourself: "What am I carrying that isn't mine to hold?" Write it down, then consciously release it.

2. Gratitude Harvest: List three things from this past season that helped you grow. Acknowledge them, then consider what you're ready to compost for the next phase.

3. Balance Check: Notice where you've been giving too much or too little. Where can you redistribute your energy to honor both your needs and your commitments?

The equinox reminds us that balance isn't a destination you reach once. It's a practice you return to, again and again, as life shifts around you.
