Embrace the Fresh Start: Finding Motivation and Starting Over

Anyone else feeling stuck between the person you are now and the person you’ve always dreamed of becoming? Trust me, I get it. Being in limbo is tough, and I've been there a few times myself. In fact, I'm in limbo right now.

One thing I've learned over the years is that while motivation is a great starting point, it's commitment that will see you through to the finish line. The real question is, can you commit long enough to see the end result?

Whenever I feel lost, overwhelmed, or just lacking the capacity to push forward, I don’t force it. Instead, I focus on what feels good. I lean into being still, allowing everything to fall apart. Not because I want chaos, but because it lets me assess and see what needs my attention first.

I remove the guilt of life happening to me and focus on the things I can control that feel good. I listen to my body and the little alerts it sends me. Pay attention to those moments when you feel anxious or when your phone dings and you see a name that sends you into panic mode. Maybe you’re not lacking motivation; maybe you’re distracted. Maybe it’s time to eliminate what no longer serves you right now.

When everything feels like it's falling apart, it's an opportunity to rebuild stronger. Here’s how I approach these moments:

Reflect and Reframe

Take a moment to reflect on what led you here. Acknowledge your past experiences, learn from them, and then let them go. See this fresh start not as a setback but as a chance to rewrite your story.

Set Clear, Achievable Goals

Direction fuels motivation. Break your goals into smaller, manageable steps. Our planners and journals are perfect for this – they'll help you map out your path and keep track of your progress.

Surround Yourself with Positivity

Your environment plays a huge role in your motivation. Surround yourself with positive influences – people who support and inspire you. If you’re looking for a community of like-minded individuals, our Facebook Community is here for you. We’re all about lifting each other up and celebrating every success, no matter how small.

Celebrate Your Wins

Speaking of celebrating, don’t forget to acknowledge your achievements along the way. Every step forward is progress. Reward yourself with a little treat, whether it’s a new sticker from our collection, a cozy pair of socks, or simply a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come.

Keep Your Why in Focus

Whenever you feel your motivation waning, remind yourself why you started. What is your ultimate goal? What dreams are you working towards? Keeping your why in focus will help you push through the tough times and stay committed to your journey. 

Embrace the Journey

Starting over is a journey, not a destination. There will be ups and downs, and that’s okay. Embrace the process, learn from each experience, and keep moving forward. You've got this!

Remember, starting over isn’t about forgetting your past; it’s about creating a future that excites you. We believe in you and are here to support you every step of the way. Let's make this fresh start your best chapter yet.
