Every day we have an opportunity to start over—to dig our heels in, extract what is working in our lives and give ourselves permission to release what is not. As simple as that sounds, the radical act of starting over is far more entitled and can be paralyzing for some. Yet, no matter how many roadblocks we put in place or experience in our lives, the truth is: that each of us has the power to start over and begin again, no matter our circumstances, our age, or any other excuse we may use to keep ourselves trapped in the small boxes we were never meant to live within.

This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into starting over, how we must confront what makes us uncomfortable, we’ll move through a plan on how to start over in a grounded, centered, and mindful way, and then we’ll uncover how starting over leads us into self-love and inner peace in ways we never thought were possible.

So, let’s shift our perspectives and ability to elevate our lives through a tested and grounded blueprint to get there…

33:19 How this plan creates self-love  

Sure, sometimes we have to walk through hell to get where we want to be, but when we take control and do the work, heal, and create a plan, we turn the lights on in our lives. We move from the dark rooms, the space where things are unknown, scary, anxiety-ridden, and filled with tripping hazards, to spaces where we see our path, the light is radiant, and everything we need and want is first met by ourselves and then others.

Welcome change. Welcome discomfort because you always have the ability to turn on the light switch.
