162: August: The Sunday of Summer - Habits, Routines, & Rituals to Reset and Renew

162: August: The Sunday of Summer - Habits, Routines, & Rituals to Reset and Renew

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care July 26, 2025 Duration: 35:29

When you hear the phrase "August is the Sunday of summer", what unfolds for you?


Today, on Episode #162 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're looking ahead to the month of August and - hopefully - building excitement for what it holds in store for us!


First, we're going to look back at our summer months and celebrate our wins: Both big and small.


The trips, the concerts, the adventures, the hobbies ... it all goes here.


Maybe you tried kayaking for the first time this summer or experimented with new recipes.


Reflect back on those "I did it!" moments.


Second, we're going to start looking forward into our August calendar.


Not only for planning purposes, but for "un"planning purposes, too!


We're exploring the benefit of choosing a week off during August - off of appointments, lunches, meetings, workshops...


... and if that thought gives you anxiety, not to worry - just pick a few days to enjoy instead!


Lastly, we're going to give ourselves permission to pivot away from what doesn't serve us (without feeling guilty).


Reschedule that doctor's visit.


Say "no" to stressful to-dos.


Your future self will thank you for putting her first.


It's going to be an interesting August!


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
