If Your Were to Start All Over Again…
By A. Yanina Gomez, Ph.D.
IF YOU WERE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
This question seems simple… But don’t be fooled by its simplicity as it does have deep implications.
I know, you’re probably saying…
“Why are you asking this question Dr. Gomez? Are you trying to psychoanalyze me?”
No, I’m not trying to psychoanalyze you. But what I would love to do is to encourage you to think about this question for a second. What one thing comes to your mind? Why would you do it differently? When we reflect on our pasts, it gives us a reason to live fully today while we’re building our future. Maybe your past was infused with love, encouragement and support. Or, maybe it was not quite like that at all. Maybe you experienced unpleasant situations, made foolish mistakes and missed out on amazing opportunities.
We can’t change the past but we can certainly learn from it. We can choose to define a greater future for ourselves. Don’t let your past stop you from making your art business a reality or achieving your personal goals.
Today, choose to focus on embracing your present and building your future. By no means I’m suggesting that you should ignore or forget your past like it never happened. It’s not that simple, right?
What I’m suggesting is that you don’t punish yourself over what happened. When you do that, you’re depriving yourself from today’s blessings and tomorrow’s opportunities.
If there’s anything from the past that it’s still hunting you, it’s time to ACKNOWLEDGE andFACE it. The longer it lingers on your head, the longer it’ll torture you.
Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to come in terms with someone? Don’t keep repressing it. It’s time to find inner-peace!
✓ ALWAYS treat yourself with the respect, compassion and dignity you well-deserve.
✓ NEVER put yourself down!
✓ MAINTAIN perspective!
And finally…
✓ INTENTIONALLY nurture your mind, body and soul so you can maintain your inner-fire going and going and… just like that darn Energizer bunny!
