Fresh
A fresh start is distinct from something entirely new.
A new beginning means walking into a scenario as a beginner.
As your mastery in specific areas progresses, seeking moments to once again be a beginner is valuable.
The challenge with new beginnings is that they are cognitively taxing.
To truly be a beginner, in an immersive state of learning, requires significant energy.
The lesson is not to avoid new beginnings, but to seek them selectively.
Fresh starts offer another possibility.
A fresh start may not be net-new; it could be an old habit or a reframed perspective.
When it comes to the new year, consider what is actually a new beginning and what might be a fresh start.
The value in a fresh start is you have a foundation from which to build.
The work lies in pivoting your perspective to enable a new level of momentum and performance.
The majority of resolutions should align closer to fresh starts than a daunting list of new beginnings.
