There are times in our lives that lend
themselves to starting something new. The beginning of the year,
finishing school, leaving a job, or changing homes — these all are times
that turn our minds to fresh starts. Their advantage is that they bring
with them the energy of that event, creating a tide of change around them
that we can ride to our next shoreline. But we can choose to start anew
anytime. At any moment, we can decide that a bad day or a relationship
that’s gotten off on the wrong foot needs a relaunch. It is a mental
shift that allows us to clean the slate and approach anything with fresh
eyes. We can make that choice at any time.
Starting new is most powerful when we
focus our attention on what we are choosing to create. Giving all of our
attention to the unwanted aspects of our lives allows what we resist to
persist. We need to remember to leave enough room in the process of new
beginnings to be kind to ourselves. It takes time to become accustomed to
anything new, no matter how much we like it. There is no need to get down
on ourselves if we don’t reach our new goals instantly. Instead, we
should acknowledge the forward motion, knowing that with each choice we
learn, grow, and move in a positive direction.
Making the choice to start anew has its
own energy. The forward momentum creates a sort of vacuum behind it,
pulling all you need toward you to help you continue moving in your
chosen direction. Once the journey has begun, it may take unexpected
turns, but it never really ends. Like cycles in nature, there are periods
of obvious growth and periods of dormancy that signal a time of waiting
for the right moment to burst forth. Each time we choose to start anew we
dedicate ourselves to becoming the best we are able to be.
