new

my nightly thoughts:

Tomorrow is October. The beginning of a new month begins and so does the feeling of new possibilities.

Why does the start of something always feel like the right time to begin something “new”? Like saying on October 1st, I am going to start working out. I am going to start my skincare routine. I am going to do (fill in the blank).

I think the idea of the “beginning” of anything feels like a new chance to do what you said you were going to do last month. Or last few months…let’s be honest. But no worries, I am guilty of this too. I’ve been starting my workout routine for the last 5 months.

I think we need to retrain our brains to really say “This month I’m “beginning” a lot of things I said I was going to do. I may not make it and that’s okay.”

There’s no need to be so hard on yourself. The beginning of each month is a good place to restart your routines but also is each day. Every day is a good day to begin something new.
