September is Self-Improvement month! It’s Back-to-School, pumpkin spice everything, and your license to wear boots, scarves, AND comfy sweaters. Ok, it may still be too warm to do allll of that but National Self-Improvement Month is the perfect kick-off for Fall-Lite and working on your best self. Here are 7 tips to help you rock Self-Improvement Month:

Move More

Cooler weather means taking your workout outside or registering for a Fall race or fun run. Join a MyFitnessPal challenge or a personal challenge of working out 3-4 times a week. Want to try a new class? It’s also National Yoga Month so many yoga studios and gyms are offering great promotions.

Eat healthier

The Farmer’s Market is full of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Now is the time to try some new healthy recipes and freeze for the rest of the year and beyond. Plan out meals and make sure you are getting to bed at a reasonable hour.

(Re)Start A Hobby

In the the latest Live Fervently podcast, marketing exec and adventurer Yelena Dasher tells us how she discovered her love of photography via her travels in addition to cooking, knitting, and scuba diving. If there is a hobby you always wanted to learn or wanted to start up again September is the perfect time.

R-E-A-D a Book

That summer beach read you forgot? That book club pick you have about 8 days left to read? Now is the time to catch up on your reading. Plus there are so many great Fall releases and pre-orders! No time to read—-listen to your favorite podcast, audiobook, or TedX talk for inspiration.
