magic on sunday: 🔅here's your do-over🔅
five days into february, it feels as though i blazed through the first month of 2017 without much to show for myself.
there were all these grand plans for my january: i was going to reestablish my morning routine, blow some wind into the sails of a few projects that have been slow-moving, and be more organized in basically every aspect of my life (wishful thinking!). it all felt exciting and refreshing, and here, a month into the new year, i find myself still sort of at the starting line.
i was really tempted to fall into a pity-party this week and lament the fact that things haven’t gone as planned. miraculously though, i forced myself to have a come to jesus moment and decide that this pity-party energy was better spent finding a way to restart.
the idea that january is some magical life-changing month is a bit of bs. there’s no date, timeframe, moon phase, or sign that any of us needs to wait around for to dictate our fate. it’s like the quote i have scribbled on a post-it in my nightstand: “what saves a man is to take a step. then another step.” this feels increasingly true a month into the new year, but it’s sage advice at most times and for most situations.
i’m putting one foot in front of the other this week and going for a do-over. there’s one for you out there too - take it.
