It's hard to believe but it's officially fall! 

Though I am always sad to bid farewell to summer, fall brings with it a whole new way of life. Old routines are back, new projects are ready to be started, apples are plentiful and closets are ready to be cleaned. And, if you've been wanting to start a new habit, I think fall is a fantastic time to do it.  

If you're starting to think about starting a new habit or bringing back an old one, my advice to you is to make a plan. No matter what we're trying to accomplish in life, we're so much more likely to accomplish it with a plan. Need a hand? Here are 3 steps to creating a plan and a habit.

1. Figure out the "What?" and "Why?"

Sooner or later, life throws all of us a serious curve ball. 

Sometimes, we know it's coming and sometimes it comes out of nowhere on a random, sunny morning. In those moments, taking care of our own well-being can be incredibly hard but is also critical so that we can be there for ourselves and those who may be depending on us.

 When a curve ball comes your way or the way of someone you care about, these 5 little steps can help make a big difference.
