Choose YOU, stop editing your soul and step into a better way of being. 

The precursor for enacting change in yourself is to know who you are in order to Shift from occupying the constructed self towards living from your soul. The soul is always moving you towards wholeness. 

We are ever changing, never static, as we journey through life, birthing new beginnings and surviving painful endings. Honoring yourself is to be committed to your right to exist. Recalibrate yourself with positivity. Keep what is necessary and rid yourself from all the superfluous things that is hampering your life and adds no joy to your existence. Starting afresh means creating anew, as new beginnings can't occur until you allow an ending. You can't generate a new beginning clinging to an old attitude. Become reborn in spirit in order to adjust and update your life. 

A new beginning demands a new you, doing things better and differently. Decide which areas in your life warrant an upgrade and then go about implementing the necessary changes systematically. Failing to adjust your attitude sees you doing things the same way but expecting different results. Key to starting afresh is to change your mindset to approach life in a fresh new way. The thought is the seed that will generate the necessary action that will allow you to grow into who you are meant to be. Observe your thoughts and feelings in order to understand their genesis. You have to know yourself in order to be and live authentically.

Recognize that when you lose touch with yourself you become untethered from partaking fully from the delights of life.

Connecting with your heart will help you to divest yourself of the things that do not resonate with your true nature. Each day herald a fresh start. CHOOSE. Hold on to the dredges of yesterday, or seize the day as if you're brand new, not shackled to yesterday nor holding out for a tomorrow that may never be. We can only make a difference in the here and now. Recognize that adding to your treasure trove of lived experiences take precedence over playing it 'safe,'as comfort zones enfold you in a conformist lethargy that's the death knell to living large and unapologetically. Live your truth. Stay real.
