If you're a 'Michigander', you're well aware of us having four different seasons. For the most part, we embrace all four. Why can't we embrace seasonal change in our own lives like we do for the climate? I've come up with 10 hacks to embrace change in your life this fall.

1. When Fall rolls around, the leaves begin to change colors and eventually fall off of trees in preparation of the Winter. The leaves wouldn't survive through the cold. Like the trees, you should let go of your tarnished leaves (baggage) that won’t last as fall progresses and the weather gets colder.
2. The transition into fall from the summer is so beautiful to us. You should see your transitions in life as the same. Change is good. Embrace new phases in your life because it means you're growing. Don't spend this fall looking at your mistakes. Give yourself a pat on the back for the good you've done thus far.
3. Just like Mother Nature prepares herself, you should too. Set some awesome goals this Fall. Short term and long term. What can you prepare for now that will help you later in every other season?
4. During Fall there are so many delicious foods and drinks that are available. Along with your Cider or Pumpkin Spiced Latte, feed your soul too. Fall gives you a reason to find a good book or article to read that will improve your thinking.
5. Colors - Allow the colorful scenery everywhere you go to inspire you to be in color as well. Embrace every color you come across. Every race. Every culture.
6. If you're going through a break up this fall, embrace that. I know that sounds insane, but I'm not saying embrace how hurt you're feeling. I'm saying embrace the potential of how much better you'll be doing next season if you keep your head held high during this one. Look at the bigger picture. Anything that's meant to be, will be.
7. Let fall give you a reason to spread positivity everywhere you go. You should embrace positivity because just like you have struggles, so does the world. Positivity creates peace. Let's make this season a no judgment zone.
8. New hair color you've been dying to try? Try it! Fall is a reason to try new things.
9. Oh, and let's not forget about Fall gear. Here's a reason to participate in 'retail therapy': buy a cozy sweater and wear it every single day. Jk. But if you'd like to, go ahead! (Remember no judgment zone season).
10. Lastly, Mother Nature doesn't look around at who's paying attention, who's ready, or wonder what other people think before she transitions into Fall. She just does it. Let Fall be a reason to allow you to be yourself regardless of what others may think. Be you because just like Fall, you were created for a reason. Don't waste anymore time thinking otherwise.
