This is our chance to begin again.
New perspectives. Deeper wisdom.
New perspectives.
It’s been a wild start to 2021. I can’t believe it’s only January 15.
Yet, when I look out my window, the cycles of nature march on, oblivious to us all. The trees are bare, resting, going deep into their roots, beginning a whole new cycle.
This is our chance to begin again too, with new perspectives and deeper wisdom. We’ve been through so much and come so far. There’s still a ways to go. But, we’re stronger now, more resilient. We’ve changed. We’re still changing. We’re going to change some more.
2020 was not a wasted year.
2020 was not a wasted year. It was a year to wake up, realign your values, and grow and to view things in a new way. How might you use this as your foundation for 2021?
How are you going to use this resilience, this new strength you’ve cultivated? How are you going to create optimism for yourself?
No more waiting.
No more waiting. It’s time to choose what you want to focus on, choose how you want to show up. It’s time to find a way.
But first, take a moment to honor the journey you’ve been on.
Honor how much you’ve grown.
Gather in all that you have learned.
Use this moment to reflect.
Then, get real with yourself.
Get moving.
Draw boundaries.
Bring awareness to how you spend your days.
Be ruthless with your time.
Release what no longer serves you.
Respond instead of reacting.
Lean into what you want.
Pause and choose.
Decide.
How has your life taken on new meaning?
Ask yourself, how has my life taken on new meaning? What is calling to me? What no longer fulfills me? What made sense before, but doesn’t make sense anymore?
How have my priorities shifted?
Where am I giving my time and energy to people and situations that no longer serve me? Why?
Where am I stuck in the same old patterns? Getting the same old things?
Where am I denying my wholeness? And at what cost?
What made me proud of me?
Where did I show up for myself?
How did I find ways to persist?
When did I choose rest, quiet, peace?
When did I acknowledge my inner knowing about who I am?
When did I trust myself?
How can I take that spark, that thing that lit me up and let it light my way?
Only forward momentum.
Let’s normalize beginning again. And again. Until we get the life we want.
There’s no going back. Only forward momentum. Use it all on your own behalf.
Hone in on your priorities for the year ahead. Don’t let 2021 slip by.
