Easter is such a powerful reminder of the promise of a fresh start. Christians celebrate the resurrection of the living Christ in the midst of other celebrations of new life (bunnies, chicks, flowers!). So many areas of our lives can be realigned, no matter how off track we find ourselves. In money coaching, I often have to remind my clients of the following:
1. We are only writing a budget for this month. Not next month, not a magical perfect month, not for a series of months. Only this month. This month you can do your best with what you have.
2. We are done looking back and will now look forward. We will design a plan that is right and appropriate for a new beginning.
3. The fresh start is just that – a beginning. The process takes TIME and PATIENCE. The journey will see you accomplish many things, but today is only the beginning.
These reminders can be applied to so many areas – healthy diet & exercise, a spiritual practice, a family relationship, a career goal. The promise of Easter can breath life into your new beginning.
