Life can sometimes push us into a corner, compelling us to start anew.

Significant life events can alter our paths so drastically that returning to our previous lives may seem impossible. While some individuals may take months to recover after a major occurrence, others might spend years reassembling their lives.
Recently, my psychoanalyst introduced me to the idea that life consists of constructs we create to navigate our existence. We are in a constant state of self-invention. Therefore, I regularly assess whether I am living in alignment with my desires and engaging in what truly matters to me.
I often reflect: What direction am I taking in life? Are there regrets I carry? How do I interact with those around me?
It's crucial to periodically evaluate where your energy is being invested. When you reach a moment where a restart feels necessary, it often indicates that certain relationships and habits must be relinquished to make way for a new chapter.
A genuine restart calls for internal transformation. It's about recognizing the need for change not for the sake of others but for yourself. This realization empowers you to take action. Life may sometimes push for change, but the true catalyst is your own decision to embrace it. Change is the only constant we can expect, so we must learn to adapt and, at times, instigate that change ourselves.
Fear often holds us back from embracing change; however, I like to compare the sensation of a restart to the refreshing breath one takes after surfacing from a dive. Many of us tend to overlook the potential benefits of change, primarily due to the chaotic transitional phases that accompany transformations. This process requires faith. A restart demands both faith and inspiration, as you need to use your imagination to picture a promising future and maintain belief in its realization.
I don't intend to come across as a motivational speaker (laughs), but having experienced my own second restart, I encourage you: Keep pushing forward. The best is yet to come!
