I reflected on why I was feeling the sudden shift in energy, I realized that for the past few weeks, my self-care game has been lacking.

While I'm so grateful for the people in my life and our time together (in person or virtual), I started to think about how I spend the rest of my day when I'm alone. I get trapped into working all day and have been leaving little time for the small joys and hobbies that I seemed to have time for this summer. Without travel or regular social gatherings, for the most part my energy and excitement for life is currently tied to my daily routine, one that feels a bit repetitive at the moment. I must admit, however, that this year feels a bit different. I feel connected to myself and I can clearly visualize my progress in terms of my inner healing & growth. After speaking with someone close to me, I was surprised to find out that for many people, November is one of the most dreaded months in the year. The reasoning is that it is the time when we are all starting to burn out and are already starting to think about the holidays. This never really occurred to me. As a Scorpio baby, I've always looked forward to November.

Sometimes I go through phases where self-care is a main priority.
