September has arrived. Are we feeling it yet? And not just the weather but there is a new hustle and bustle in the air with a renewed sense of movement and possibility. Schools have started up again, workplaces seem to become more productive after the restful vacation days, and new routines fall into place. Would you agree that there’s something new afoot?
Because the calendar begins a new year in January, it has been arbitrarily decided that the first day of the new year becomes the New Year celebrations. There is no real delineation other than flipping over the calendar and remembering to write the new number on things we sign.
However, September has many reasons as to why it ought to be the real New Year. It comes with a natural “fit”. Looking around us, we can see that much happens to create that sense of renewal in our lives.
Some may simply see the start of the academic year. True; schools, teachers, students and parents all rev up to this new beginning. It’s a time to reflect on plans, progress and setting habits better suited for success. Perhaps set new goals. Doesn’t that sound a bit like setting New Year’s Resolutions?
For those of us who have gone beyond school into the workforce, there are many similarities regarding the start up mindset. While summer tends to be a time for more focus on our families, now that things are returning to “normal”, the focus on our work and career has returned more fully.
For many, the summer is our time for vacation and now it is time for a reset to forge ahead with more energy and perhaps even renewed purpose.
There seems to be a natural cycle that we are returning to. A shift. While January comes in the middle of a season, September brings in a change. The days are getting cooler, the days shorter and darkness is upon us much sooner. It feels like a turning point where nature has decided on a new beginning.
The agricultural cycle is changing too. In our Northern Hemisphere, it is time for harvest. It is time to reap the rewards of the growing season. It is time to bring in the bounty and begin the process to start another new season. The harvest moon of October is not far behind. Nature shows us this new cycle of growth. Is this not yet another reason that September is really the time of new beginnings?
Cultural and religious reasons are also prevalent. Autumn festivals, like celebrating the success of harvest, exist in many cultures. The Jewish people usually celebrate Rosh Hashanah, their new year, in September. Sometimes the Islamic New Year is celebrated in September as well. And the Ethiopian calendar is 13 months with the new year in September. Plus, many other cultures have chosen September.
Let us remember that the celebrations of our New Year in January is a man-made construct of the Gregorian Calendar while September aligns more with our natural, cultural and life cycles. For many of us, it truly is the REAL new year.

Back-to-School Jitters
September brings new beginnings—fresh pencils, new classrooms, busier routines. But alongside the excitement, many of us (kids and adults) feel those back-to-school jitters. Anxiety about change is completely normal—our brains crave predictability, so when things shift, our nervous system sounds the alarm.
If you notice your child complaining of tummy aches, having trouble sleeping, or melting down more easily, it may be their way of saying, “I’m nervous.” And let’s be honest—adults feel it too.
Here are some simple ways to help calm the transition:
- Name it to tame it – Pull out a feelings wheel at breakfast or bedtime. Invite your child (or yourself) to point to a word that matches what they’re feeling. Naming emotions helps take the power out of them.
- Practice a grounding breath – On the drive or walk to school, try “box breathing” together: breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. Making it a family ritual can help everyone arrive calmer.
- Build in comfort anchors – A small token in a backpack, a family mantra (“I can do hard things”), or even a silly handshake at drop-off can provide a sense of safety and connection.
- Balance the schedule – It’s easy to overbook with sports, activities, and social plans. Make sure there’s time for downtime, too.
Back-to-school jitters don’t mean you or your kids aren’t ready—they mean this new chapter matters. With a few small practices, you can turn nerves into confidence and connection.

RESIGNING YOURSELF: A PIVOTAL STAGE IN THE GRIEVING PROCESS
Resignation and Acceptance – The Breath of Renewal
When the Wind Changes, but Your Heart Remains Strong
There are decisions we don’t take lightly. Changes we didn’t choose, but that life imposes with silent insistence. And then, one day, you realize that continuing to resist exhausts you more than letting go.
This is what I experienced recently, in the intimacy of my journey as an entrepreneur of the heart. After months of carrying on the Immort’Ailes Summit – Reborn to Life, I had to make a decision that shook me: to cancel.
Not because I wanted to. But because my whole body, my whole mind, my whole emotions were screaming that it was time to stop.
It was in this great inner turmoil that I rediscovered, once again, the journey of resignation… then acceptance.
And as always, I wanted to bring you with me, one step at a time.
Resignation: When You No Longer Have the Strength to Fight
Resignation isn’t a choice. It’s a withdrawal. A quiet collapse. It’s that moment when you no longer have the energy to fight, but your heart hasn’t yet found peace.
I remember the morning I knew. I woke up with a knot in my stomach, my eyes still swollen from restless nights. And there, in the silence of my kitchen, an inner voice whispered to me, “You can’t go on like this.”
It wasn’t a relief. It was a grief in itself.
Resignation is the moment when you lay down your arms, but without knowing if anyone will welcome you. You stop pushing, you stop believing, but you’re not yet able to imagine anything else.
It’s uncomfortable. It’s heavy with sadness, sometimes even shame. As if you’ve failed. As if you’ve betrayed something.
But in reality, resignation is a crucial step. It prepares the ground. It makes space.
Acceptance: When Your Heart Opens Again
Acceptance comes later. It enters slowly, like a ray of light through a still-gray sky.
You don’t invite it. It comes when you’re ready to receive it.
One morning, you realize you can breathe a little better. That you can talk about what happened without crying every time you say it. That you no longer need to justify yourself.
Acceptance isn’t about “agreeing.” It’s about being at peace.
It’s when you understand, deep down, that this difficult decision made sense, even if it hurt. It’s when you recognize that this chapter had to close so that others could be written.
It’s a relaxation in the body. An opening in the soul. A possibility reborn.
Resignation or acceptance?
Here’s a comparison that will help you see things more clearly:
Resignation:
• I recognize that I can no longer change the situation
• There is still sadness, resistance
• I stop fighting
• It’s the end of a cycle
Acceptance:
• I make peace with what is
• There is a release, an opening
• I allow myself to experience something else
It’s the beginning of another momentum
You see, the two sometimes follow one another. And sometimes, they intertwine.
It’s not a straight line. But an inner dance, between pain and appeasement.
My breath after the storm
Today, I am in the aftermath. The summit won’t happen, not this time. But something else is being born. I don’t know what yet. But I know I’m ready to welcome it.
And maybe you too are at this crossroads. Between the pain of letting go of what you hoped for. And the possibility of a new beginning.
An invitation to gentleness
If you recognize yourself in these words, know that you are not alone.
Resignation may seem bleak… but it heralds renewal. And acceptance can’t be forced… it can be cultivated.
Be gentle with yourself. Give yourself a moment of silence, a sigh, a walk, a look inward. You don’t have to run. You just have to breathe. And let life breathe again within you.
What if we took a moment together?
I invite you to come and chat with me, in all simplicity.

A moment to let go of what you’re experiencing. A moment to breathe, together.
Warmly,
Claudine
