When it comes to our fresh start I know that many of us envision something better. We may not be able to get there right away and we may feel overwhelmed by all the steps that we think that we need to take it. It’s never been easy to try to move in a direction towards your future when your buried in layers of apprehension, doubt, and uncertainty.
What we can recognize is that there are some things that can help us. For starters, a single step in a different direction is still a single step. The intention has been set. You may still have a long way to go, but you have started the journey. The next thing that can help us is to realize that incremental progress is undefeated. Simply put, I believe this means that that single step can lead to another step and that second step will lead to a third and in making this striving we can realize that it’s all progress. The last thing I would like to cover is that it is very tough to see ourselves somewhere else when we’re currently staying in the same environment. It’s been said that an environmental change is one of the top ways we can turn work to things around. I realize this is hard. It has been hard for me as well. However, it’s tough to see yourself somewhere else when you’re unwilling to be open to somewhere else. Florida sounds amazing during an Ohio winter. Why is that? In general there is a reason that a vacation has such an appeal when your day-to-day life is uneventful or not what you want it to be.
What if you’re every day life could feel more like a vacation? What if a vacation could feel less like an escape? Seeking a fresh start can feel overwhelming. Taking the steps towards a fresh start takes self reflection, courage, and determination. Fresh starts and old shoes don’t mix well.
