New Beginnings

Starting anew. I’m doing it right now in this moment. I am re-setting to be better right now. I’m making the conscious decision to move forward right now. Each moment is an opportunity for my thoughts to lead me down a path of difficult return. Of overthinking into the reality that I don’t want to experience.

Not long ago, as I was lying in bed, I heard a knock on our compound door and our guardian went to open it. (I live in West Africa. This is the norm.) Anyway, the greatest possibility in my mind was that it was my husband’s sister at the gate and their kids coming to stay with us for a while. “A while” is an undefined period. My mind began to go to a place of uncertainty and stress.

And then I caught myself. I remembered that I have the ability to control my reality. That my word and my thoughts are law. They create how I experience everything around me. I reset myself and my intention for ease and grace. It didn’t turn out to be them at the gate, but sometime soon it will be, and I will be energetically prepared to welcome them into a space of love and ease.  

We live in a world of infinite possibilities. If you are open to it. And you have access to every single possible reality. If you are open to it. You have the chance to start anew each moment by choosing to break whatever cycle you are in. Whatever thoughts are driving you forward. I cannot overemphasize the power of intention. It’s like creating tunnel vision but in a beautiful way. 

I think, in some ways, I’ve set my life up for trying new things. I’ve put myself in places that have forced me to take on whatever necessary challenge because I am so uncomfortable where I am. I think we all do that, actually. We set ourselves up for destruction. And if we have the courage to take it on, it’s the most beautiful and humbling destruction you can imagine. Breaking down those old energetic walls to step into our highest selves, to humble our egos, and let soul take the lead. To shine brighter than we’ve ever had the courage to shine before. Because any other option would be to cheat ourselves and our souls of the lives we deserve and that the world deserves.

When you feel that itch for change, that itch to start anew, follow it. No matter how illogical it may seem, place yourself into that world of infinite possibilities and lean into it. Set your beautiful intentions and let your soul flow. It will lead you into everything you never knew you needed, or wanted – even if you have to face some pain to get there – it will be worth it. If you allow it. Allow it.

Take a moment to realize the power in that. That each moment is truly an opportunity to create a new reality. Notice your thoughts. Where are they taking you? Is that where you want to go? If it’s a place of fear and worry, I can tell you it’s not. You have the entire Universe of possibilities at your fingertips. Which reality do you want? Reach out and grab it. Feel into it. And return to it every time you get distracted by those other thoughts. You are so powerful. Own it. Take it into your body and be it. You got this.
