The Power Of New Beginnings

A New Year is almost here! This moment, or THESE moments, as I will explain,? are incredible times in our lives to leverage. At the start of a New Beginning, you can be anything, do anything, and create anything. Because it’s within these moments, that your past ‘stories’ seem the furthest from you. The further you are from your past, the more powerful you become in your present.?

Before we get into the HOW, and the WHAT, Let’s understand the WHY. Referred to as ‘The Fresh Start Effect,’ or a Temporal Landmark, it’s a significant moment in time. New Years, Birthdays, and Anniversaries are all moments like these. These unique moments have the ability to separate the ‘old you’ from the potential ‘New You,’ which is profound. In creating this ‘New You,’ you are invited to let go of old identities, habits, and behaviors that no longer serve you, which unleashes an entirely new level of potential in the way of your Goals,? Dreams, and Commitment to accomplishing them.??

Here are a few ideas to leverage…?

Let Go of the Past & Reinvent??

The idea of a new beginning is to start with a fresh slate. You can wipe away all of the past negativity, and create a new focus directed towards the positive. Let go of past mistakes, habits that no longer serve you, and identities that you’ve adopted that keep you from playing BIG. That’s all the ‘old you.’ Who is the? ‘New You’ that you will allow to emerge? What can the ‘New You’ do, that the? ‘old you’ couldn’t? Did the ‘old you’ have difficulty sticking to an exercise plan?? The ‘New You’ has no such difficulty! Did the ‘old you’ have an issue with deadlines? The ‘New You’ is committed to honoring all deadlines, even submitting work and projects early! Did the ‘old you’ give up on a dream because it seemed impossible? Well, the ‘New You’ is ready to bring that dream BACK, and is totally aware that each of us is a limitless possibility!??

Create New Habits that Support the New You!??

A ‘New You’ also needs new habits, attitudes, outlooks, and ways of being, that support all of its Big Goals, Dreams, and Changes. Not a morning person?? Become one! A lot of uninterrupted productivity happens there, and your late nights may be what’s preventing you from accessing it. Bouncing between projects, making progress in none? Stop it! Focus and follow-through are essential to any project's completion. Set up new systems that allow enough time for progress, and commit to them. Do you feel like limitations trap you? Free Yourself! There are no limitations, there is just unwillingness to do what is necessary. Commit to learning what you need to, to making time available to work on your dream, until it is your reality.??

With A ‘New You,’ Comes a New Level of Confidence??

Any lack of confidence we have is due to past failings, past stories we’ve told ourselves, and past stories that were told to us by others. As soon as you begin letting go of the ‘old you,’ these past failings and past stories are no longer yours.? Let the ‘old you’ keep ‘em! Allow the ‘New You’ to shine with all of the possibility, potential, and confidence that can exist when past failings and stories are in the past, and are no longer present, in well, the present. Believing that you can is the beginning of all success stories, and confidence is foundational to that belief. Leverage this new level of confidence to create new, bigger goals for yourself. After all, there’s no past, no ‘old you’ stopping the ‘New You' now!?

Wanna Keep the ‘New You?’??

Here is where the ‘New You’ disappears after one month, along with all of the big goals, confidence, and limitless potential. Or stays put, so that you can live and dream bigger from this day forward. As they say, if you fail to plan, plan to fail. Along with each of these ‘New You’ shifts, new systems and habits are going to be needed, created, and implemented, so that the ‘New You’ has a stable? foundation to truly take root, and become just ‘YOU.’ Don’t just state WHAT new big goals and dreams you have, the new level of confidence you are experiencing,? or how you’re going to keep that past in the past. Create HOW you’re going to do it. Do you need additional support? Skills? Time? A new Practice? A better alarm clock? Identify what you’ll need to sustain the ‘New You,’ commit to putting those elements in place immediately, and CONSISTENTLY practice and use them. The ‘old you’ is a very slippery character, and if you’re not diligent, it will sneak back in like a thief in the night. Replacing the ‘New You’ before you even realize that it’s gone.?

Don’t Stress Yourself Out!!!??

During New Year or other moments like these, we can become very anxious and stressed. Beating ourselves up for what we didn’t accomplish or complete in the past. Stressing about what goals we’re setting for ourselves, and whether they will take us to where we want to go. STOP IT!!! Don’t make new beginnings a? stressful moment, or put pressure on yourself during them.?

What I’m about to share is VERY important to realize. The fact is, NYE is just another moment, in a string of moments, that make up our life experience. It’s an opportunity to utilize because of the way we perceive things during it. Not because it’s truly some ‘magical moment,’ that is different from any other moment, such as the one you are currently in. Have fun with it! Use it for what you can, and know within yourself, that you can create a new beginning for yourself at ANY moment. From this day forward, use your power to create a new beginning, at any moment you choose, so that you won’t have to wait a year to make any positive change, go after any goal, or any big dream.?
