Be the Heroine of Your Own Story This Autumn

10/10/2025

Romanticizing autumn means seeing it through a softer, more whimsical lens: walking through the woods as if you’re the heroine of a story, sipping tea like it’s a potion, or noticing how a simple sunset can paint the sky in warm, dreamy colors. Cozy, simple, magical—it’s all there waiting for you. - A Point of Light

Are you the heroine of your own story?

Your higher self is a heroine. She's a superhero, really. She has come to save the day from within your everyday life. Are you letting her?

Let's look at how you can romanticize this autumn by walking more closely with your true self.
​

Romanticizing Autumn Through the Eyes of Your Higher Self


​When you romanticize autumn through your higher self’s eyes, you add a little enchantment to your everyday life. Sure, the dishes still need washing, and the emails still arrive, but suddenly there’s candlelight flickering at the edges of it all.

And your higher self is inviting you to notice that the magic is already here.

(1) Start each day like a story opening.

Before reaching for your phone, ask yourself, “How does today’s chapter begin?” Light a candle or open a window. Let the air, the light, or the scent of your tea set the scene.

(2) Dress or move as the heroine.

Your higher self doesn’t wait for the perfect outfit or ideal energy level. She moves gently but intentionally, wrapping herself up in warmth, slowing down enough to notice joy, speaking peace to her life throughout the day and moving with kindness through the moments that challenge her.

(3) Create cinematic rituals.

Pour your apple cinnamon tea as if it's your most magical potion. Walk through the falling leaves and notice the warmth of the sun on your arms and on your face. Visualize your day as a movie montage and then live it.

And when the world feels scary or chaotic, remember that the heroine doesn’t give up, she pauses, breathes deeply, and reconnects.

A Higher-Self Affirmation for the Heroine You Already Are


Say this three times...
​
I am the heroine of my story. My higher self walks with me through every season.

🎬 Five Ideas for Your
Autumn Movie Montage


Because every heroine deserves a highlight reel.

(1) The Candlelit Letter Scene
– write yourself a note from your higher self. Use your favorite pen and seal it with intention.

(2) The Slow-Motion Walk
– wander under falling leaves and a sunny sky, with your favorite song playing in earbuds. Really take in the moment.

(3) The Tea-and-Reflection Scene
– pour that apple-cider tea, sit by a window, and watch sunlight dance on the mug, while you contemplate the life you're creating.

(4) The Cozy Blanket Epiphany
– journal one line that begins, “I didn’t realize until now that…” and see what truth arrives.

(5) The Night-Sky Finale
– look up at the stars; thank your higher self for every plot twist you've experienced so far.

When you romanticize your life this way, you realize the heroine isn’t chasing a happy ending. She’s savoring each frame of the story.

What would you choose for your movie montage? 

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

I have always loved the fall. I made chicken noodle soup and enjoyed an old movie.

Me, too, Brenda! That sounds wonderful. Soup and a classic movie would make for the perfect afternoon and evening.

I really like this post. I often forget to feel my higher self when things get particularly hectic like this month with the challenge. But the times when I remember her I am connected and whole. I will use some of your suggestions.

Thank you!
