Starting Over
Many times in our life’s journey, a fresh start is just what we need to get back some joy in our lives. Starting over doesn’t necessarily imply a complete reset. Sometimes, it just requires adjusting and implementing some changes on top of what we already have.
At one point or the other, everyone goes through transitions in life. For some, it’s big life milestones that trigger a whole change; either in marriage or divorce, moving to a new city, committing to a partner, buying a home, starting a family, or becoming empty-nesters. It can even be the loss of a loved one or friend. It can be a global crisis (like the pandemic) or a traumatic experience.
For others, change comes from other significant changes that we all experience, like our emotional health maturing or ending a relationship. It could be aging, retirement, or simply who you choose to invest your time in. It could be a new career, moving across the country (or world), or another life-changing event that catalyzes big change.
Whichever yours is at the moment, you need to understand that change is inevitable.
Starting over helps us to examine our values or re-evaluate our priorities. And sometimes, this leads us to the question: What should I do with my life? Should I start over in life? Where do I go from here?
You need to understand that life is a marathon, not a sprint, and a race in which it’s better to get to the finish line last than to be first with regrets. So, slow down and flow with the process of change.
You might be ready to take the plunge and start over. But starting over in life doesn’t mean you’ve lost everything you’ve learned, gained, and experienced. Quite the opposite. Your experiences have gotten you to where you are today.
Starting over isn’t easy. It is one of the hardest things to do. It requires a bit of strength and courage to take that initial leap of faith.
Starting over is often associated with failure, which is wrong. If you ask any successful person what it took to get to where they are, their answer is likely to include stories of failed attempts and starting over with a clean slate.
Every new beginning is bursting with the potential and freedom you have to create whatever goals you desire to accomplish.
Reasons Why You Should Start Over:
You Learn to Accept and Grow
It’s important to understand that starting over isn’t about failure. Starting over is the knowledge that there is something better out there for you—even if you don’t know what it is yet.
It is about learning from the past and using it to propel you forward in a way you had never considered before.
It is acknowledging and accepting who you are at the core of your being and finding ways to make decisions from this place of truth.
Come out of your comfort zone and begin to live a life that will bring you greater success, joy, and fulfillment.
It Encourages Self-Inquiry
Self-inquiry helps you to remove the barrier to fulfilling your potential and helps you to live more in tune with your true purpose. You become comfortable living with the unknown, which is often the biggest fear around change.
To accompany your meditation practice, ask questions such as the following to help provide further insight:
Who am I?
What do I want?
What am I grateful for?
What is my purpose in life?
It doesn’t matter whether the answers come to mind immediately. The idea is for you to simply take a moment to ask yourself these questions in other to search deep and find meaning in life.
You Learn to Trust Your Instincts
Starting over is a decision that doesn’t come easily. If you have decided that now is the time for a fresh start, that likely comes from a place of deep need. It means you can no longer continue as you have been. It’s a quiet knowing or instinct that something has to change. Don’t ignore this deep urging and push for change, start working on it.
It Opens You to Fresh Insights
When you focus on something that is past its expiration date, you remain stuck in situations or patterns that hold you back from living a full life. This feels like a heaviness in the heart or twisting in the gut. You lack energy or creativity and you begin feeling as if you’re living life on autopilot. It’s hard to imagine that the opposite is possible—living a life full of vibrancy with all parts of your life working in harmony. Starting over helps open doors to a new way of thinking and being by changing (and hopefully lightening) your load and offering new perspectives.
But then, navigating our ways to making the decision is one of the hardest things to do, but you don’t have to worry. That’s why we are here for you!!!
