Daily Question, July 17

How can I begin anew today?

  • Elaine

    Spouse and I are off balance here at day’s end, then second day of a camping holiday. Restoring it would be a good new beginning. Sleep and being in the natural world will surely help.

  • Yram

    My morning routine was disturbed so here it is evening. I played cornnhole, slept late and went to an art show opening that expressed spiritual ideas. I was renewed.

  • Don Jones

    By doing nothing.

  • Nath

    Today I should not complain about any pains in my body and try to be grateful for so much that is going good around me

  • pkr

    Centering myself with my breath, grounding, positive affirmations and prayer. Each new day is a new beginning, a renewal of sorts. I begin anew & create all that is good. And so it is.

  • Rabbit

    I had a difficult home life as a kid. This site has helped me focus more on the good that is present with the difficult. Thoughts seem to coming to me more often about things that I am grateful for in that home situation. I am trying to see each thought as a begin anew.

  • GR8FULL

    I have a 30-minute morning routine that consists of prayer, meditation, self reflection, and gratitude. Ive been doing it for 4 months now, occasionally tweaking it with new insights I learn, etc. and I am seeing/feeling/experiencing positive results. I will continue on this path and be grateful for yesterdays opportunities, lessons, achievements and failures and view today as a blank canvas.

  • Ose

    Let go of guilt feelings about failure and in the same time keep hope and faith that all will be well. Happy Sunday to all of you dear friends!

    • Pilgrim

      Happy Sunday to you, as well, dear Ose! Blessings in these days and the days ahead, my friend.

  • Mica

    I’m beginning anew today after a great night’s sleep, after a couple nights of lousy sleep that left me with little energy to do much other than play freecell.

  • Butterfly

    This breath……. and this breath…….
    Every breath is a fresh start.

  • Hermann-Josef

    That there is a past is only a thought in the present. If there is no past, there is nothing old. The present moment is always new. The I is something within awareness of the present moment , so it must be new already.
    Forgive , forget, be now

  • Laura

    The question made me think of the Benedictine(?) maxim, “Always we begin again.” A new start happens in a moment. Often I have to accumulate a lot of new starts before I can make a lasting change.

  • Michele

    By being present.
    Happy National Ice Cream Day everyone:)

    • Barb C

      Making note of this so I’m sure to observe the appropriate rituals.

    • Mica

      Thank you, Michele! Happy World Emoji Day on my calendar – there are many “days” every day, and I’m grateful to you, Michele, for the motivation to buy the calendar last spring. I groaned about 365 pieces of ‘note’ paper but am finding them wonderful and useful. 🙂 😐 🙁 -those seem to be the emojis that I can post on this site using my keys. Warm wishes to you and everyone 🙂

  • Antoinette

    Today I woke up and saw this question and I didn’t respond immediately. After meditation I am so grateful for having felt old trauma lifting away. It was almost like someone or something took the old heavy burden away.
    Beginning anew means having a beginners mind all the time. It means keeping the fire of faith lit and praying for the falseness to disappear. Thank you all so much for being here. I’m so grateful and in awe of the universe. All I can really say is thank you from the heart.

  • sunnypatti

    I woke up to a new day, so that’s a start! I don’t feel like I need to begin anything “anew,” so I’ll just plan to have a good day at work, come home and practice some yoga and see where the rest of the day takes me! Happy Sunday, all 🙂

  • Kevin

    I just did.
    Got up
    from bed,
    got dressed,
    shaved, and
    to the mirror
    said, “Let’s go
    old man.”

    • Rabbit

      Love this. Thank you. I will share it with my 83 year old husband who is having a rough day. It will be inspiring.

    • Mica

      And then you had your coffee?? Happy day to you and everyone 🙂
