UNCONDITIONAL DIGNITY
My dignity is not contingent upon agreement, admiration, success, or perfection.
BEGINNING AGAIN
I can begin again without dismissing everything that came before.
REFLECTION
There is something comforting about being allowed to begin again. We don't have to wait for a new year, a Monday, or some extraordinary change in our circumstances. Sometimes beginning again is simply choosing to approach a familiar part of our lives differently. We carry what we've learned, including the things we wish had happened another way.
WRITE
What is one thing you would like to approach with a different perspective today?
CREATE
On a piece of paper, make a mark that represents where you are. Then add another that represents where you might go. Let the space between them become part of the drawing.
LISTEN
Find a song that reminds you of possibility. Notice which words or sounds stay with you.
SHARE
If you'd like, share one small way you are beginning again. It doesn't need to be a significant change to matter.
