We are well into Spring here in Melbourne. With equal length day and night since equinox, the shift to daylight savings and return to school this week, things feel more energetic and balanced.
But balance isn't always calm and stable, it can feel really wobbly sometimes. This Spring I'm feeling stretched between sunshine and storms, travel and home, closeness and solitude, new and familiar, work and rest, trying and failing and adjusting...
Some of my creative endeavors, Sep/Oct '26
I try to give myself stability through daily routines - taking my supplements, hydrating, moisturising, stretching, walking, keeping regular sleep times when I can.
And also the space to ask my body, what would bring more balance? more quiet, more structure, more mistakes and creative freedom, more routine, more fun and movement, more connection, more rest, more support? Or perhaps less of something?
The answer can change week to week, day to day, moment to moment, especially in this season of transition.
A few of my favourite balancing things this Spring, Sep '26
No inspiring links this time. Instead, I hope you take a moment to ask what you need more of and what you could do less to support balance in your life...
Much love,
Emily
