It is wild how a short vacation to Asia changed my entire perspective on pivoting my writing.

Starting over is not just about making a new choice in your life, it’s about embracing change and growth. It’s about recognizing when a current path is no longer serving you and having the courage to pivot. This transformative process is a powerful tool for personal growth and resilience.

Let me be honest: I hate starting over.

When I didn’t run in a while and started to run again, I experienced a runner’s itch.

I felt uncomfortable.

I lost the habit of running and felt like I was regressing in my progress.

Now, I feel the same way about writing. I have stopped writing for some time and lost my writing habit.

It isn’t easy to rebuild that writing habit.

On the other hand…

Starting over has been a turning point in my life. I’ve come to realize that each new beginning has made me a stronger, more resilient individual. It’s not about the discomfort, but the growth and learning that come with it. This learning empowers us to face new beginnings with enlightenment and confidence.
