Worthy Wednesdays - The Art of Starting Again

Today's Worthy Wednesday is all about the art of starting again!

We glorify consistency. We celebrate those who “stick with it” and see change as a sign of failure, not evolution.

But nature doesn’t work that way. Seasons change. Cells regenerate. Forests burn and regrow. Growth isn’t linear, it’s cyclical.

The most successful people, businesses, and ideas aren’t the ones that never start over. They’re the ones that know when to.

This week, we’re shifting how we see starting again, not as a loss, but as a powerful, strategic move.

Here's to embracing starting again,

💫 Grace

🌟 WORTH | Resetting Your Inner Narrative

⚡ 5-Minute Action: Reset Ritual Design
Create your personal “start again” ritual. Write down:

• A physical action (like washing your hands or taking 3 breaths)

• A phrase that signals renewal (“Fresh page, fresh start”)

• One small action that represents beginning

This becomes your anchor for any moment you need to reset.

WISDOM WHISPERER

Why this whisper? It's not about erasing the past or pretending we're starting from zero – it's about honouring where we've been while choosing where we go next. Each moment holds the potential for a new direction, no matter what came before.=

Remember: Starting again isn't admitting defeat – it's proving you're unstoppable.
