What if you got up every morning remembering that it truly is a new day each day? That you get to pick? That you are 99.9 percent space and only less than one percent matter? That our lives are more malleable than we might imagine? That creativity and growth are are more than nice ideas.
That sounds crazy, but it is true. We want to to create the best life possible for ourselves. And yet most people are captives of habitual thoughts and feelings — not to mention the belief systems inherited from loved ones and society during the first few years of life before we had agency.
Thus, “It’s a New Day” is a mantra and the name of this website. I want to remember and want you to remember to be in a state of creativity and growth rather than bringing the past into the present and creating the future with it… which is what people tend to do. It is a habit that takes consistent effort to break.
This picture of a gentleman climbing a rock wall demonstrates that this is not the easiest of tasks. That said, it is doable. If you make a small change and stay with it, like a sailboat whose course has been altered only a single degree, where you find yourself long term will be a far different destination.
Over time, changes stack up and you find yourself living a life a lot closer to what you want instead of what you don’t want hanging around like so many dust bunnies under the furniture.
It is in fact, a new day, every day. And for as long as we live, we get to practice making new choices creating new pathways in our lives and altering the course of our future.
Coaching and counseling are useful for accountability when you are making such changes. Coaching is the best choice when you are working on this already and want accountability for progress on your goals.
Counseling is the best choice when you have been working on progress for a while and feel stuck. Maybe there are beliefs or old habits that you just can’t seem to let go. There is mental health coaching if you are somewhere in the foggy mist between those two.
