What’s Stopping You from Starting Again?

and again … and again …

After I had cancer in 2008, it felt like starting again.

I didn’t have any earth-shattering revelations or any urgency to change much at all, but things changed. I changed my diet, and I changed my focus work-wise and spent the next year spending all my free time immersing myself in a coaching programme.

Not just any coaching programme, I was already an NLP and TFT practitioner, but a life-changing, transformative programme that led me to become a full-time transformation coach in 2010.

And life continued in its way.

There were still changes. During my training, I met a wonderful man who moved in with me, and life started again in a different direction. And then we started again when we changed our location from outer London to live by the coast.

Then I got cancer for the second time in 2020. And started again.

And then March 2022, I had another major surgery, and here I am starting again.

Starting again, this time relates to my fitness.

I’ll have to think of different ways to exercise as exercises that involve twisting, such as yoga, won’t be available to me for at least a year. No problem. I’ll find a new regime and start again.

And this led me to wonder how many times we start again? And how wonderful it is to do this.

Starting again

I don’t believe that, however happy you are with your life, you haven’t thought about starting over? Pressing the reset button? I even created a Reset course because so many clients ask for this.

And, after all, isn’t every New Year resolution a chance to start again?

There is a difference, of course, between feeling forced to start over because you lost your job or a partner left you and choosing to start over, but the main difference is how you think about the opportunity.

And it is an opportunity.

If you feel angry about losing your job or devastated that your relationship has floundered, and of course, it’s normal to feel this way, you may not see starting over as an opportunity, but when the hurt and anger recedes, you can think about what you want.

Starting over means not necessarily going into the same type of job or choosing a partner based on the criteria you’ve used in the past. This is a chance to shake things up and do something different. Something new.

Remember that you’re not limited to what went before. To what you know or what you’re known for.

We see it all the time with public figures. The footballer David Beckham has played for some of the biggest clubs in football, and he is also one of the most recognisable faces in the sport. However, Beckham’s career is not limited to soccer. In 2013, Beckham turned his attention to his clothing line, H&M, and his grooming brand, Kent & Curwen.

Beckham has also been involved in several charities and philanthropic causes. As a result, Beckham is a man who is always looking to start again. Whether on the football field or in the business world, Beckham always seems to find a way to make a fresh start.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was known to be a bodybuilder, and there must have been a few people who rolled their eyes when he took up acting. But after a successful acting career, he went into politics and became governor of California before hosting a reality TV show.

What does it take to make someone start again? Do you have to die to live?

Dying to Live

Anita Moorjani’s book, ‘Dying to be Me’ charts how her organs failed as her body succumbed to cancer and she had a near-death experience. But when she regained consciousness, her cancer had disappeared, and she went on to have a career in motivational speaking and helping people to see that they don’t need to die to live.

Maybe giving up something that you thought you wanted, like a career or relationship, feels like a mini death, and if that’s the case, you can imagine rising like a phoenix from the ruins, stronger and ready to start again.

And, rather than dying to live, you can embrace change and make a new start.

Change is the only constant in life

Heraclitus gave us a few things to mull over, but what did he mean by this gem?

It’s strange how we humans tend to resist change, even though it’s inevitable and often for the better. Even when you’re initiating the change, you constantly fear the unfamiliar. Your mind is hardwired to cling to the status quo, no matter how unhappy it might make you. Better the devil you know and all that guff. After all, change can be disruptive and unpredictable. But it doesn’t matter how much you try to avoid change or want things to stay the same; change is inevitable.

Cells replicate and die. The cells in your intestine are replaced every five days. Change constantly happens in your body.

So instead of fearing change, you can embrace change by starting again.

Your new start doesn’t have to be dramatic. Could you change the way you eat? Even making one small change a day is starting again. Swapping a fizzy drink for fizzy water is a change.

For me, starting exercising from scratch is starting again. I could be concerned that I’ve lost muscle tone even in a few weeks, but I’d rather see the new start as a challenge to see where I can get to. What kind of exercise routine I can make work for me.

There are many reasons why starting over can be a good thing. When you start fresh, you can choose who you want to be and what you want to do. Your past failures or successes do not limit you.

Starting over allows you to redefine yourself and your relationships with others. You can create new connections and build new friendships based on shared interests rather than past experiences.
