It\u00b4s mid-August, and in Ireland (as I\u00b4m guessing is happening in Spain as well), there are \"back to school\" signs and ads everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember that, when I was younger, I really hated seeing them; I found it hard to accept that the summer was coming to an end, and that it was time to start thinking about getting back into the school year routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess nowadays I tend to be more philosophical with these kind of things; I find I can adapt more easily to the various cycles that life goes through (and that we go through as well). As they used to say in that old song, to everything there is a season... So, let\u00b4s focus on doing whatever it\u00b4s time to do at any given moment, and above all, let\u00b4s focus on enjoying it, and learning from it, instead of just resigning ourselves to suffer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the beginning of a new school year is approaching, you may be experiencing the same thing that often happens to me: you already have a super long list of tasks, projects and assorted commitments to try and fit in the calendar, and you feel exhausted just by looking at it...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00b4s the perfect moment to take a step back<\/a> and go back to basics<\/a>: make sure we\u00b4re taking proper care of ourselves, so that we can start the new school year with our batteries fullly charged, and armed with good habits that will help us to maintain our energy and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about you? Are you still in holiday mode, or in the process of coming back? What is it the time to do right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S.- \"That old song\", in case you\u00b4d like to look it up, is from the sixties; I remember it from the TV series The wonder years<\/em>. The title is Turn, turn, turn<\/em>, from a band called The Byrds<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To everything (turn, turn, turn), there is a season (turn, turn, turn)...<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
