Practicing a Fresh Start in Each Day
Every morning, you get to ask yourself:
What would I like to do with this incredible day?What would make today incredible for me?What am I feeling called to do today? What’s most important?
You can wipe the slate clean of whatever happened the day before (no matter what it was), and just start anew.
And then you get a couple hours into it, and maybe you find yourself off course. You’ve gotten distracted, or caught up in busywork.
Start again.
Take a breath, and imagine this next moment is a blank slate. What is most important right now? What would you like to do with this incredible hour in front of you?
Start again. And find gratitude that you get to start again, over and over.
Practicing with the Blank Slate of the New Year
We’re about a week into the new year, and you might have already started to lose the freshness of this year. But we’re just starting out! We’re at the very beginning, and we can do whatever we like with this year.
What would make this an amazing year for you?
What is possible for you this year?
Who would you like to be?
Take a notebook and pen, and spend 30 minutes thinking about this fresh space, and writing out some notes.
Is this the year you finally write your book, launch something, create something? Grow your business to a new level, launch a new mission, help others in a big way? Tackle something hard and scary and meaningful?
Are there new habits you want to create?
This is your year, to use however you like. What magic can you create?
Putting It Into Action
Once you have an idea of what you’d like to do or create … it’s time to make it actually happen.
Write it down and commit to it. Tell others and promise to report to them weekly. Adjust your plan each week, with the blank slate of the new week. Do a review each month, and get yourself back on track with each fresh month.
One small step at a time, make it happen. One fresh start at a time.
