What’s New?

It’s a New Year!

It’s been a long time since I’ve gone to school or even had a child in school. Yet stll, September is the beginning of a new year to me. It signals not only the end of summer, but a time filled with new growth and possibilities. As we begin to find a new normal after Covid, it’s even more of a fresh start.

Now is the time to examine my daily rituals and make sure they haven’t become just unproductive habits rather than contributing to a successful day. 

Dancers have warm-up routines. Singers vocalize before a performance. Think of a golfer, getting ready, stepping up to the tee or a batter to the plate. Each goes through a ritual and the swing follows. Why do I have rituals? They act as warm ups for the day or project and flip the creative switch to ON. 

Do the always work? No, just ask the golfer in the sand trap, but it’s good to have a familiar process that keeps you going and spurs you onward and upward!

Here’s to the new year, to new beginnings!
