Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life..

Today is the first day…..

I'm writing this on the Last Monday of the Year!  Wow. "How", we ask, "did that happen so fast?"
The holiday season is almost over, and we're into another New Year. What are the feelings coming up? Relief, exhaustion, panic, anticipation, joy.....a little of each?

....of the rest of your life."

I grew up with a strong direction from a young age. I was a dancer, training in the very competitive and judgmental world of classical ballet. There was always more, better, faster, higher, cleaner, softer, and....skinnier. Never quite 'there,' always striving. There's an analogy that comes up for me as I write this, to the pace of life that we experience in today's world. And conversely, the wiser and more fulfilling way of being that we call 'living in the moment'. Being fully present and appreciating what 'is', because that is actually all we have.
Now. 
Though I didn't understand then what my older self is learning to see, that saying provided hope for me.
Every day is a new beginning, ripe with the opportunity to give that effort a fresh go.

Good bye to another year.

So say good bye with a sense of gratitude. It's been an important period of growth; we've learned so many valuable lessons. 
All that's happened will have an impact on our outlook for the new year. Take some time to re-balance yourself.

New Year - Hope - Possibilities. Embrace them. It is the beginning of the rest of our lives! 

I'd love to know your thoughts on this~ hit reply and share if you're so inclined. 
And if you or someone you know are contemplating coaching, I invite you to a no-obligation conversation call with me. It all starts with an idea! 
Thanks for reading.......
