The Renewal – Are You Checking In – The Game Plan
Renewal:
: the act or process of renewing – repetition
: the quality or state of being renewed
When you look at this word “Renewal” and the definition, how does that reflect in your own life?
We all have those pivotal moments of reflection and those notions of changing direction. Many thoughts and ideas come and go, but do we act on those ambitions or just sit quietly going about the same humdrum routine.
For many of us, we do get stuck in that RUT, embracing similar patterns like a safety blanket protecting us from a potential storm of disaster. The comfort of routine is the life line, but it can be a false narrative.
Life can become mundane and boring when the cycles are repeated over and over again. How do we break free from what one would consider the NORM?
There is an age old saying that rings true to this very day:
Seasons will change, and so must we…
It is inevitable, as seasons come and go, nobody can stop it! Time moves forward with this never-ending renewal of life as our environment teaches us how to endure, overcome and bask in the sunlight.
Now how do we apply this to our daily lives. It is all about the game plan and checking in with yourself.
I find what has been quite helpful to me so that I can continue to evolve and grow, is to check in, and evaluate where I am and where I want to go.
I always write things down, calling it my “to do” list! Once achieving a goal, I check it off and move down the list. Another key point is to refresh this list often.
Think about your game plan and how you want to proceed. Break it into steps and you will continue to shine as you reach your goals.
Take time for reflection. I find it helpful to do this at the beginning of each season. Instead of feeling those winter blues, engage yourself into new activities thriving for that change that we all internally seek.
Also, take time to evaluate your stress levels and mental well-being. This is a very important key factor to maintaining balance in your life. We are living in a very fast-paced world and it is easy to get sucked up in the chaos and turbulence.
Always find time for yourself though out your days, and take those extremely important brain breaks. We are living breathing creatures absorbing everything in our surroundings, so make it the best that it can be.
The more you know yourself, the better you can take care of yourself. There will be times of struggle and times of joy, learn to embrace it all and give yourself permission to feel whatever it is attached to those moments.
As the feelings come and go, the ebb & flow of life embraces YOU! This is how we learn to release and let go, making room for new adventures that are waiting in the wings.
Life – The Game Plan…
We all have a journey that we must embark on, and by following these tips, life will become a never-ending wave of success.

It all begins with a reflection.
Embrace the Journey,
