Some people paralyze themselves with fear and remain stuck in familiar patterns that prevent them from learning and growing. Our ego likes what is familiar and keeps us repeating the same narrative by perpetuating the same cycle simply to keep us alive and safe. The truth is making a mistake and starting over is the best teacher. Whether it is at a new job, new home, new relationship, new routine, new baby, etc. Change creates an opportunity to experience ourselves in a different way. Don’t be afraid to let go of the old and make a decision to try something new - it’s a win-win situation, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I have always enjoyed moving to different states or places where no one knows me so that I can recreate myself with no limitations. A setback is a set up for a reset.

The brain responds to fresh starts as a new timeline. Every new thought, new emotion, and new behavior changes the chemistry of our brains and the patterns in which our neurons fire. Disrupting the familiar pattern by doing something different resets our internal narrative about ourselves and this opens up infinite potential to be who we want to be and decide what we want to create. New experiences expand our consciousness and allow a fuller expression of our authentic selves.
