I’ve been fascinated with movies about people who wake up, usually in the hospital and don’t know their name, and don’t remember their roles (wife, husband, employee) or their habits (happy guy, quiet person, music lover). While on the one hand, that seems like a nightmare that you’d want to wake up from, my fantasy is that it would be the most freeing day of the year. What if you could start tomorrow on an absolutely clean slate – what would you create for your life?
An important part of creating your life is the ability to dream that life in a new way. So often yesterday’s definitions about who you are, what you can do, and how you act keep yanking you out of your day. Especially when recovering from a traumatic even, it is easy to allow that event to define you. But, you can choose what your reaction to that event in your past will be, and that decision will help define your future.
How about beginning with as blank a slate as you can, as best you can, and breathing into the present moment. Take as small a step as you can to move forward into your day.
Here’s to a brilliant new day, dawning just the way you want in just the right way.
