Begin Again

Welcome to the first day of summer – and the longest day of the year.

It’s the perfect time to kick-off new projects and get started doing what you want to do.

You can reflect back on what you planned to do at the beginning of the year (before you got derailed with work, family, insert your reason here) OR you can take a deep breath and admit what you really want to do next.

Make a short list of what YOU* want to get going during these longer daylight hours or make a quick vision board to get yourself inspired. The trick with either of these is to use them to get you started – don’t procrastinate. One of the coolest things about these is you can always add and subtract to your list/board.

*We all have obligations. Make a separate list or vision board to take care of these. In a perfect world, one board or list would take care of it all. If you can do them this way, more power to you. If not, it’s okay to have both.

There’s no right or wrong way to do this. The keys are to make sure the list or the board is inspiring for YOU. Quotes, photos, paintings, books – whatever speaks to you.

Here’s my inspiration board:
