eptember is one of my favourite months
- summer drawing to a close, the days
still mild but ushering in the auburn of
autumn, cosy jumpers in the evening, that ‘new term’
feeling full of possibilities. It’s also a time when many
of us return, hopefully feeling refreshed, to our routines, making it
the perfect opportunity to notice whether or not they are really
serving us.
This issue, we asked psychologist, author and yoga teacher
Suzy Reading to share some simple morning rituals to encourage
us to begin each day in a calm and positive frame of mind. We then
asked five In The Moment readers to try out Suzy’s routine for
14 days – and what a different these few minutes of self-care made.
You can read how they got on on page 28, and you’ll find Suzy’s
Mindful Mornings Planner to pull-out and keep on page 34 – we’d
love to know if you find the rituals helpful too.
With the new season in mind, we are also turning our attention
to fashion because, as Sarah Gane writes on page 74, “clothing
holds real meaning in our lives”. So as stores tempt us with new
trends and must-haves, we explore a more sustainable way to
update our wardrobe with easy, stress-free steps to style that feels
as good as it looks. I hope you enjoy the issue.
