Turning the Page: Embracing New Beginnings

Life is a book of chapters each with its own experiences, challenges and lessons. The way in which a book bids us turn the page, it beckons for our life chapter too — to end itself, so that what we may enter something new and shunning anything old. Imploring renewal, and facing the unknown head-on with “Turning the page on what was—ready for what’s next.”

And these moments trigger mixed emotions — mainly goodbyes and nostalgia… Turning the page can feel like a scary thing where we are both frozen in time and yet, hurtling into an unknown future. But it also carries the thrill of what that next chapter might bring. What lessons have we learned? How have we grown in our strengths? Every chapter sets us up for the journey to come.

Our resistance to turning the page is also based in clinging. Nostalgia can be a powerful driver, preventing you from moving on to what is new. But we need to know that a lot of the time growth is forcing ourselves out of place. When we let go of our limiting beliefs and outdated habits, the universe opens up to provide us with new opportunities […]

Readiness for what comes next is not just about expectation; it involves going beyond and a desire to change. Goals: Be clear about what you wantMindset: Stay positiveCommunity: Surround yourself with people who support your journey Keep your heart open and say YES to change, knowing that it is a necessary part of the human experience (it may just feel scarier because no one tends towards embracing comfort food or binge-watching more Friends episodes).

Therefore, as you reach the doorway to a new beginning take that deep breath think back on what was instead of repeating go forward mainstream. That your story to tell, and that the possibilities are endless. Buckle up—it is an epic journey… —— Embrace the Journey & Flip a Page .
