October is my favorite month. The colors, the cooler air but still sun on your skin, the transformation that happens right in front of your eyes. Year after year, it's still a thing of magic. So I wrote you some October affirmations to help you embrace the beauty of the season, the joy of being here, right now.

Try this simple mindfulness practice next time you feel trapped by your own thoughts. It’s short and you can use it anytime, anywhere. Instead of destroying the worry, you’ll dissolve it in your focused awareness. Then you can move through your day (or night) feeling calm, capable, and open to what’s next.

Have you ever felt so broken that you know you’ll never be the same again? Maybe you feel that way now. Know this: here, after all the falling apart and right in the middle of not-knowing, you can breathe. You can make something new. That’s because even though you’re breaking, you’re unbreaking too. Read this poem to feel better about it.

I think of letting go as diving in, not turning away. As living in each moment, getting as close to a full life experience as possible in this one moment. To do that, you need to learn how to let go of what isn't yours to hold forever. Here are a few ideas that can help.

If what you've been telling yourself your whole life doesn't serve you anymore, keep reading. This is all about dropping the words you’ve been holding on to and cozying up to something far much more liberating: another possibility.

Judgment is exhausting. All the energy we spend on judging could be spent on feeling good and making a positive difference. These affirmations take the focus off of the other person and places it back on you and *your* life. This is your LIFE, after all.

Today, my dad would've turned 61 and I would've bought him donuts and made coffee for us both. Instead, I’m sharing some good news in honor of him: I wrote a book! If you love sleep, too, and healing better, and not taking all your worries to bed with you, read this. I made something for you.

For the kind of wisdom that only comes from someone who "walks their talk," read these Eckhart Tolle quotes. The man's words will encourage you to stop fighting against what you don't like. And instead, witness it, allow it, and turn it into something else. Something like peace, right in the middle of everything.

Less doing might lead to more of everything that matters. If your brain and body and soul are begging for a break, check out this list of things to stop doing. It'll inspire you to clear away what's not working for you. So you can pay more attention to what *is* working, and feel so. much. better.
