For millennia, people across Europe, as well as Native American tribes, named the months after features they associated with the Northern Hemisphere seasons, and many of these names are very similar or identical.
Today, we use many of these ancient month names as Full Moon names. A common explanation is that Colonial Americans adopted many of the Native American names and incorporated them into the modern calendar.
The Old Farmer's Almanac famously publishes a list of Full Moon names, and we have chosen to use these as the main Full Moon names. However, we have also included several others, and it seems that it is a combination of Native American, Anglo-Saxon, and Germanic month names which gave birth to the Full Moon names we use today.

Time's Up Day is a day when people tell themselves that time is up when it comes to deciding if they should make up with someone who they've had a falling out with. Tomorrow someone may be gone and it will be too late. Time's up! The time for repairing relationships is today! Time is fleeting. It is uncertain if you or a person you want to make up with will be here tomorrow. Tell yourself that time is up and reach out to the person today. Visit them at their home, call them on the phone, send them an email, or write them a letter.

During the Middle Ages, Europeans who could afford it employed seamstresses and tailors. Sewing for the most part was a woman's occupation, and most sewing before the 19th century was practical. Clothing was an expensive investment for most people, and women had an important role in extending the longevity of items of clothing. Sewing was used for mending. Clothing that was faded would be turned inside-out so that it could continue to be worn, and sometimes had to be taken apart and reassembled in order to suit this purpose. Once clothing became worn or torn, it would be taken apart and the reusable cloth sewn together into new items of clothing, made into quilts, or otherwise put to practical use. The many steps involved in making clothing from scratch (weaving, pattern making, cutting, alterations, and so forth) meant that women often bartered their expertise in a particular skill with one another.

By incorporating this S.T.O.P. exercise into your life you can develop better awareness of your particular stress reactions and this awareness, in and of itself, creates distance from these reactions.
In turn, this distance creates the space to better regulate your response to whatever is happening in your life. That is, when you become aware, you can live more consciously and better adapt to your environment and whatever it is you are experiencing in life.  What is great about this S.T.O.P. exercise is that it is literally a one-minute exercise, and we can all find one minute.  If you are saying to yourself: "No, I don't even have one minute." I invite you to really explore that belief.
