There is something incredible about new beginnings. It can be a time that is a delightful mix of fear and excitement. And it can be a time of renewed energy, feeling of inspiration, willingness to experiment/try something new, a willingness to breathe life into a vision.
Though we are just into a natural new beginning of 2020, the year might not have started the way you'd have liked and you might be riding a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Remember, you can start fresh any time you choose.
Every morning upon opening your eyes, you can choose to begin again. New beginnings are offered daily, just choose to believe it is possible and refocus. (That's really what change is anyway- a shift in focus and choices.)
Perhaps you can insert a new practice into your morning that is designed to help you refocus and see fresh opportunities. It could be as simple as a question or two: "What focus do I choose today that aligns with my new path?" (Consider linking the new practice to another habit that you already do consistently, like brushing teeth or getting dressed.)
Little by little, as you continue to make fresh choices every day that help you refocus on where you wish to go, you will start to see the rollercoaster of highs and lows smooth out. You will have fewer days of effort and more days of flow.
When we adopt the mindset of starting fresh every day, change somehow seems easier than trying to look at the entire journey ahead and feel you've already failed. There will be setbacks. It's normal.
Like you, I’m on a journey. I’m passionate about learning and strive to transform life’s challenges into learning, so that I can evolve (sometimes ever-so-slowly) into the best version of myself. Like anyone, I’ve had my struggles, be it healing memories from the past, navigating health issues that folded into fertility issues or having a son who has a digestive disease/disorder and the constant vigilance that it requires.
And all that I’ve learned I’m devoted to sharing…so that maybe some little tool, or a nugget of insight, or hope might support you in your journey to know your Self, your Soul and step into a life of feeling guided.
I always say I “accidentally became spiritual” through practicing yoga. It’s true— it opened something in me that I didn’t know was there and caused me to see things I was formerly completely unaware of. I like it much better.
So, for the ups and downs, the glimmers of things useful, I’m open to sharing. Feel free to let me know if something speaks to you.
*Note: These past several years I’ve been focused on life as a Mama while maintaining thriving cozy coaching practice. Now, in 2020 I’m gearing up to start sharing and expanding again. Meanwhile feel free to check out posts on instagram @RobinPBerg and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SoulMoxie/.
