The question is, how does the transition into autumn affect your overall health or daily routine? I'm talking about the shorter days, cooler weather, return to routine. Do they bring specific changes? Well, it's you can still do the same activities outside in autumn, but you're limited toward good days and bad days, and like you say, it gets cooler, so you want to be able to wear extra clothing, but as far as changing your attitude, I think the four seasons have all the same you got to have the same attitude year-round for you know for your health you can't just put it on a summer thing or winter thing it's it's a constant 24-hour days 365 kind of deal but like but there's other factors like say going back to school or you know different things that you have to do in autumn than you do in the summer summer is vacation time to autumn is get back the business time. So you need to sit down. I do this myself and a lot of people don't want to hear it, but instead of just thinking stuff like, I think I'm going to do this, I think I'm going to do that. I actually sit down and write down a plan, something that I can look at, something physical, make a list of things. Now it's a crazy story, but I was busted up one time and I was in shock trauma. I was getting rehab. I came out of shock trauma. I was living with my sister and I made a list. It's so ridiculous that it's hard to believe but I made a list that said get a vehicle, get a job, get a life. And it helped because I did all three and I was constantly trying to do the next one on the list every day. I didn't, you know, I didn't get lulled into feeling sorry for myself. I was thinking positive and making that list, it's very important. Like You sit down and say, well, you know, I'm going to do better in school. I'm going to get straight A's this semester, or I'm going to, you know, I'm going to walk to school every day, or I'm going to, you know, just making a list and sticking to it is what I would do in the fall at most of the time, because like you say, that's when a lot of things change. So. Amazing, all right. Are there any particular challenges that tend to arise for you during the fall? and how do you usually respond to those? The challenges are, I hate to say it, but it's all the holidays. Now, you wanna count them in summer, I mean, fall or winter, but I used to have a lot of holidays. Within one month, we'd have Thanksgiving season, then you got Christmas season, and then you got New Year's Eve. So within a month, you know, 30, 35 days, you had lots and lots of planned activities that were included alcohol and lots of food. So it's important to try to limit your intake but also be social and keep your mind active and be around people and talk to people but at the same time limit your intake of substances as food and just plan on doing the best you can Yes, you can, like I said, be consciously trying to help yourself, not letting up.
