Permission To Begin Again

Hi love,

I'm so glad you're here.

If you've stumbled,

Paused,

Changed directions,

Or simply feel lost today,

This moment is your gentle invitation back.

Let's take a breath together.

In through the nose,

And out through the mouth with a sigh.

Let it carry some of the weight.

Again,

Inhale,

And exhale.

There is no timeline you have to follow.

No straight line you need to stay on.

Beginning again is not a failure.

It's actually the softest form of courage.

Let's check in with your body.

Can you notice where you're holding a little shame,

A little disappointment,

A little fear that maybe you've wasted time?

Again,

Offer that place some breath,

Some space,

Some grace.

There's nothing wrong with needing to return.

We are all cyclical beings.

We begin again every day,

With each sunrise,

With every breath.

This moment is no different.

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

You are beginning again,

And that is beautiful.

If it helps,

Place a hand over your heart,

Or press both palms together in front of you like a quiet bow to the path.

And let's close with this affirmation.

There is no shame in starting over.

I carry wisdom,

Not failure.

I give myself full permission to begin again.

Let your breath return to its natural rhythm.

Let your next step be a soft one.

And remember,

Every beginning is sacred.

You are already on your way.
