The Seasonal Power Nap

I got a lot of good feedback from this short story in my August 2025 newsletter so I felt compelled to share it here...

Have you ever felt like you just want everything to @#$%& off? Like you don't want to do anything even the things that you love and believe in?

I was starting to feel that way the last couple weeks. It didn't make sense to me so I started asking myself questions. I remembered to tune into the energy of the season we are in. The late summer energy is the same energy as the late afternoon. It's a powerful energy that can be incredibly helpful and empowering when acknowledged, supported and surrendered to. Unfortunately the modern world isn't usually very good at supporting it or valuing it.

I have known for a long time about myself that there can come a point in the afternoon where if I don't nap or at least do something really relaxing, the rest of my day will just be a sad sluggish version of what it could have been. If I surrender to the power nap, even for 20-30 min, I'm alive again!

So, I'm having my seasonal power nap for the rest of August! I've been in such intense focus and doing energy for the last months with moving across the country and everything that goes along with that and if I keep trying to be productive, the rest of my year will be exactly the opposite.

A seasonal power nap can take on as many different forms as the number of people on earth multiplied by the years of their life. A late summer vacation where you literally vacate from your regular life is a classic and late summer is a good time for that.

What it looks like for me this year is: no intense design and implementation of new projects until September, lots of quality time with my family, lots of nature connection and fun physical activity, no long drives or overnight trips and a light revisiting of the Renewal Of Creative Path process which I dive deeply into every Winter Solstice.

I'm also continuing all things I have started that are flowing easily at the moment. Perhaps a seasonal power nap can help you harness the natural restful earth connection energy to empower the rest of your year too...

I'm also very passionate about helping people align their lives with natural cycles through personal mentoring...
