153: Feel your Best Every Day: Habits and Rituals for Weekly Energy & Seasonal Balance

153: Feel your Best Every Day: Habits and Rituals for Weekly Energy & Seasonal Balance

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care May 24, 2025 Duration: 29:53

Do you ever feel like your mood rides the weather? 


One sunny day, you're full of energy, motivated, and ready to take on the world.


Then, the next day is gray and chilly, and suddenly everything feels a little harder and heavier.


If your mood rises and falls with the weather, you're not alone! 


And there's good news: You don't have to be at the mercy of it.


Our routines, habits, and rituals are what are supporting us and grounding us.


Today, on Episode #153 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are looking at how each day of the week contributes to our weekly energy and seasonal balance.


Every day has its own rhythm and energy — some of this is cultural, some of it seasonal, and some even rooted in ancient traditions like Ayurveda and astrology.


Have you ever truly thought about the energy of a particular day or the difference between the energy that you have on a Monday compared to a Friday compared to a Sunday?


Being very present with this energy can help you feel better in the moment, regardless of what you - or the weather - is doing.


Starting your week with intention, rolling into momentum and action, maintaining balance and setting the flow for your week are key in keeping this seasonal energy going.


Notice what each day brings — not just in your calendar, but in your body and your energy. Use the habits we talk about today as invitations, not obligations.


Soak up the sunny days. And, when it's gray or rainy - be your own sunshine!


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
