3 Simple Steps To Start Fresh

Unexpectedly, a great friend and mentor gave us an offer on our salon business. I will tell you, I was a bit shook by the whole thing and had to weigh out a lot of pros and cons. At the end of the day, the deal offered the salon team resources that would help them grow and we accepted the offer. What this means for me is a "fresh start" so to speak. I will still be an employee of the new owner and working behind the chair but I will now have time to dedicate to other things. With that said I thought it was a good time to do a little digging on starting fresh and share the steps I plan to use on the journey.



1. Connect with nature.
Many of you who follow me on social media may know that my hubby and I recently purchased a lake house. I decided that with my new found time in the morning that I would put the property to good use. It allows me to clear the mind and gather the thoughts around the next steps. This step is crucial to dealing with the thoughts of regret , worry, and fear associated with starting fresh. We are only human and all have emotions. it can be meditative to experience them and move on. You won't find wifi in nature but I promise you'll find a better connection.

2. Set goals.
After you've cleared the mind its time to set goals. I am a huge believer in goal setting and even wrote a post about the 4 Steps To Goal Setting. Think in terms of where you came from and if you could have the ideal workday, ideal partner, ideal life, whatever is demanding a fresh start, What would that look like for you? Discovering what you want is key so hone in on it. A career example:  flexible schedule, work independently, a more people-oriented position. A partner example: support, closeness, selflessness. You get the idea.  

3.  Take action.
Put yourself in a full-throttle motivation mode. This is the "getting your life" part, pun totally intended. Surround yourself with the people whose opinions you care about, your personal board of directors. If someone gives you an opinion and they are not on the personal board of directors, dismiss it. Brainstorm ideas and goals and seek thoughts around feasibility with your board. Shift your mindset into the law of attraction mode and visualize yourself achieving what you want. What do you feel like when you have it? Have a sense of humor along the way and forgive yourself if you get off track and jump back in.

While life may seem a little scary right now as we approach the unknown, at least we have a plan to jump-start us into the journey of a fresh start. Please do connect with me on social media and share your fresh starts with me, I love hearing from you guys.
