Realigning Your Life: 5 Steps to a Fresh Start

Feeling the need for a reset?

Whether it’s the start of a new year, a career pivot, or simply a moment to pause and reassess, a fresh start is always within reach. The key lies in approaching it with intentionality.

Based on the Thrive R.E.C.A.P.? framework from Time to Thrive: A Busy Woman’s Devotional Journal, here are five steps to realign your life and move forward with clarity and purpose:

1?? Reflect on Your Journey

Before rushing ahead, take a moment to look back. What were the defining moments of your recent season? What lessons did you learn? Reflection provides clarity and helps you recognize patterns and moments of gratitude.

2?? Evaluate Where You Are

Take stock of your current situation. What areas of your life feel balanced, and which need more attention? Evaluating your present circumstances offers a clear foundation for growth.

3?? Celebrate Your Wins

Don’t skip this step! Acknowledging achievements—big or small—fosters gratitude and builds confidence. Celebrate creatively, whether it’s journaling about your progress or treating yourself to something meaningful.

4?? Anticipate What’s Ahead

Dream about your future. What’s next for you? Visualize success in key areas of your life, and consider creating a vision board to bring those dreams to life.

5?? Plan for Action

A vision without action is just a wish. Set specific goals and take tangible steps to bring your dreams to life. Start small—every action counts.

Enjoy a Fresh Start Anytime

Whether it's a new year, new season or you simply need new perspective, you can reset and realign at any time, no matter the season or circumstance.
