10 Tips For A
Fresh Start
It's never a bad idea to step back, reevaluate
and change patterns that do not benefit your
overall well being. Here are some tips to help
you start over or re-start.
1. Accept Change
Sometimes starting over means accepting
that you’re no longer the person you used to
be. The same things or people no longer
benefit you. The same goals no longer drive
you. It’s ok. Don’t blame yourself for it and
don’t try to resist. Start over. It may seem
hard in the beginning. You’ll be surprised how
fast things will fall into place again.
2. Accept Loss
And move on. Yes, it hurts. Yes, you lost
something or somebody. Yes, your hopes are
broken and maybe so is the heart. Accept it.
End the battle and move on. There is a very
simple thing which many people are blindly
ignoring: you can’t have a new victory until
you close your current battle (by accepting
defeat or loss, if that’s what just happened).
3. De-virus Your Mind
If you’re going to start fresh, one of the things
that would really help is to realize your mind
is not perfect. In other words, don’t believe
everything you think. Your mind may be the
victim of many social viruses, and you’re not
aware. Just take some distance from your
own thoughts every once in a while. De-virus
your mind. And be careful of who and what
you allow to access your mind.
4. Make Peace With The Past
Accept ALL your past defeats and victories.
Accept all your past mistakes or brilliant
decisions. Accept that the moment you
stepped out of a second, there’s no way to
live it again, because it’s gone. The past
doesn’t really exist. It's a human invention.
Embrace the future. Look around and accept
that the only option you have is to live now
and tomorrow.
5. Shift Your Focus To
Important Goals
One thing we often ignore is that our reality is
generated by our focus. Whatever we’re
focusing on, it grows. So, a new beginning
could be in fact just the result of a focus shift.
Place your attention on other things. It may
be difficult in the beginning, so start training
yourself..

6. Break A Habit
bigger change is just shifting some small,
unconscious behaviours. Break a habit before
engaging in a bigger change. Tiny moves (or
baby steps, if you prefer) are easier to do and
to monitor. Just stack small victory over small
victory. You’ll soon be there.
7. Create A New Habit
As hard as it may be to understand and
accept, we are living huge parts of our life on
auto-pilot by habit. So, breaking up a habit
will only take you halfway. From there, you
must try to build a new habit. The good thing
is that you’re consciously choosing a new
habit now. There is nothing bad about
starting a new habit..
