Episode 40: Starting Over

Hey all! Here we are, December 1. We just finished November and now it’s time to start December. Perhaps it’s an artificial new start or maybe you’re really feeling the need to start over. Either way, here’s a question: what does it actually feel like to start over?  When We think about it, it seems like that is just about all we do! A new day, a new week, a new month, a new season… another podcast! We just did all of those things, and now we’re going to start over and do them again!

In this episode, we talk about times in our lives - little times when we lost something and we had to re-do it, and larger times when we made huge, redefining changes in our lives - when we felt like we were starting over. What is this act of starting over? Is it a recognition of something ending and restarting, or is it an admission of failure, followed by the need to begin again to the same end? Maybe sometimes, for some things, it’s the first; occasionally, it really seems to be the second.

What if we started to believe that it was ok to start over? Could we see restarts not merely as something to take another crack at, but also a way to bring some newly found wisdom into an experience. Rather than, “UGH, now I have to start over,...!”, it’s more like, “Ahh! The opportunity of a fresh start!” We talk about how this is more than just the difference between being pessimistic and optimistic; rather, it can be a distinction that offers an opportunity to bring your best self to any situation, and with the opportunities to begin anew, all that which can be gained!

Give this one a listen, and let us know what you think! 

Thanks Everybody!
