Start Again...Whenever You want

Rainy Places & Sunshine

We love to tell ourselves stories about when the right time is.
I’ll start on Monday. I’ll begin on the 1st. I’ll wait until the new year, or after the trip, or once I’ve got everything lined up just right.

But what I’ve learned, what I keep learning, is that the moment I feel lost, off-balance, or disconnected is the right time to start again. Not later. Not next week. Not when everything’s perfect. Right now.

That little whisper of “I don’t like how this feels” is reason enough. It’s not failure. It’s not weakness. It’s awareness. And when I let that awareness guide me, I find my way back.

Last year, in a particularly unbalanced season, I decided to lean into something a little out there. Something that appealed to my long-standing woo-woo side. I started using the Tesla 3-6-9 method for affirmations. (Nikola Tesla, the inventor. Not the car company.)

The practice was simple. I chose three affirmations and repeated them aloud 6 times a day for 9 seconds each. At first it felt disruptive. But as I kept at it, the interruption became a grounding moment. It gave me rhythm. Intention. A quiet check-in with myself.

And then, in late fall, I had a breakthrough in my business. The kind of shift you work toward for years and hope finally lands. When it did, I dropped the practice completely. I didn’t mean to. But once the thing I wanted arrived, I forgot what had helped get me there.

Then came the early signs of spring. The sun still hiding behind clouds, the ground still heavy with winter. But I could feel something moving. The Spring Equinox rolled in and I realized I wanted that grounding again. I wanted to be back in practice. Back in conversation with my own desires.

So I picked up my affirmations again. And already I feel more connected. Not to any particular outcome. Just to myself. To the clarity I’d been missing.

Living in rainy places (Seattle, Berlin, London) teaches you something. You learn to believe in the sun even when you can’t see it. It’s always there, above the clouds. Not gone. Not missing. Just hidden.

I think fresh starts are the same. Sometimes life piles on so much noise or stress or expectation that it’s hard to see your way back to what you want. But it’s still there. The sun. The start. The desire. Waiting for you to clear a path.

And if you’re in that space, that in-between where you're craving direction or clarity or something that feels just a little more like you, I want you to know that can be a great time to start again.

Sometimes it’s affirmations. Sometimes it’s rewriting your own story. It can be a metaphor that lights the way. Sometimes it’s imagining what your ideal day or ideal future actually looks and feels like.

If that sounds like something you’re ready for, go for it! There are so many resources out there. If I can be of help, grab a free discovery call or try one of my 90-minute breakthrough sessions.

Start again whenever you want.
The moment you notice you're ready is enough.

And I’m cheering for you, always.
