In 2 weeks it will be my first anniversary in a four-season country.π Adjusting to a new season every 3 months for the past year meant adjusting to changing weather, clothes, food, daily activities, and daily habits.πΆπ§£ The secret for tropical girl me is to tap into the seasonal rhythm, embracing it vs resisting, and actually seeing it as fun. Yes even the dreaded cold of winter and extreme heat of summer. Δ°t’s all part of life.
Taking it one step further is to relate this rhythm back to non-four season countries.π I still have friends and family back in the Philippines who I connect with everyday. So I also need to be aware of their own season, their changing weather and activities.βοΈ
Working with a global team, there’s also the awareness of different hemispheres and inverse seasons. π Δ°sn’t the world amazing?
π€ On White Day, let’s step back and look at the global map. Take in the different seasons of the world happening simultaneously right now. Somewhere in the world Δ°t’s really cold, really hot, wet and rainy, dry and humid. Just like traveling, there is an awareness of the world that comes from season-hopping. It’s a familiarity with nature that expands our sense of time, and maybe our sense of awe and compassion.π
