Why do a Seasonal Reset Each Season?
Why do a seasonal reset each season and what is a seasonal reset?
With a few days into the new year, you may be still feeling that new year energy. I totally get it. A new year feels like such a great way to hit the reset button on your life - to start anew, on a completely clean slate.
A new year feels SO promising; filled with all the new habits, new goals, new dreams and new identity you may want to build.
If you’re reading this, and this feels a bit overwhelming and daunting…. I see you. I personally love the chance to start fresh and a new year provides an amazing opportunity, but why wait an entire year?
I have personally been doing seasonal resets for a few years now, and I completely love them. A seasonal reset allows me to check in every season, see how I’m doing, and make changes and tweaks if needed so that my next season can be more aligned with how I want my life to look.
Granted, life happens, and every season cannot be perfect, but a seasonal reset gives you the opportunity to take a holistic snapshot of your life during a season and assess on the whole what is or is not working
Now that I’ve sold you on the idea of a Seasonal Reset, you may be wondering what exactly does a Seasonal Reset comprise of? For me, it usually includes an afternoon where I take myself to one of my favorite places (a cozy coffee shop or a delicious restaurant) or sometimes, I’ll spend some time outside in the backyard with blankets on the grass with beverage in hand. The point is - you want to carve out some intentional time for your seasonal reset.
From there, I’ll either jot down in a journal or on my computer the main categories in my life (work/business/career, relationships, health, personal, social, etc) - whatever is important to me, and write a few thoughts on what’s working well, or what is not working well. I’ll also rate each category in terms of importance or priority for the next season of my life (ie in the next season, building my career may be of high importance while social life may be of low importance, etc).
After I do this, I’ll take a little break, and then come back to jot down some ideas/goals/habits I want to implement in my next season (ie, if I want to deepen my social connections, I may add checking in with friends more consistently and/or scheduling friend dates more regularly, etc).
Seasonal resets are so important because they allow us to integrate changes in real time (vs waiting an entire year to make changes). You can also get more timely feedback, and 3 months feels like a good amount of time to see how things are going.
I know a lot of people who coast through the year, without truly checking in with how their lives are unfolding, so seasonal resets can be really helpful to ensure that you are living a life in which you are flourishing (vs merely surviving).
Seasonal resets can be even more effective if you do it with an accountability buddy or with a coach, like myself, because it provides you with accountability and support as well as clarification on your life at a holistic level. This Spring, I am launching a new service called Seasonal Resets which includes:
Check in form before the Holistic Seasonal Facial focusing on the one major thing you want to release and the one major thing you want to bring into your next season of life
After the facial, a coaching/somatic session together to release the one major thing and welcome in the one major thing with aligned action steps and strategy to implement (coaching session)
1 month of texting/email support and accountability to keep you focused towards your major goal
I’ve also created a free Seasonal Check-In Guide to help with your Seasonal Reset. If you would like a copy, please get in contact with me.
I hope that this post encourages you do a seasonal reset every season so that you are in a better place to flourish in life.
Nice to meet you!

I love supporting people on their healing journeys through somatic coaching/somatic work integrated with holistic somatic facials.

I have various programs to support you in your healing journey so that you can get relief from your symptoms, chronic pain, stress, overwhelm, trauma and other mental/emotional/physical issues holding you back from living your fullest life. My innovative approach of integrating somatic work into facial treatments is unique in this industry, and demonstrates my passion and commitment to offering holistic care to my clients.
