Dear ELEVATED9 Community,
I’m your brother K & it is a great day to have a great day! I’m so grateful to connect with you again as we transition into the beautiful, reflective time of fall. This season holds a special place in my heart, not just because of the changing leaves & cooler weather (& basketball), but because it's a time of transformation, personal growth & renewal.
This fall, the idea of “Starting Fresh” resonates deeply with me & probably you too. My youngest daughter, the recent UCLA grad, just turned 22, a milestone that marks both excitement, new beginnings & a little sadness. She’s stepping into a new chapter of her life, professionally & personally, embracing the journey of self-discovery. My baby is all grown up! Watching her navigate these changes reminds me that we all have moments where we start over, realign with our purpose, & move forward with renewed energy.
Starting Over: A Path to Higher Consciousness
At our age starting over can feel daunting. Whether it’s in your career, relationships, or even in your spiritual journey, it is often difficult to break old patterns. But it’s also an incredible opportunity to elevate ourselves. When I think about my daughter’s path, I see the courage it takes to step into the unknown, to trust the process, & to keep faith that the best is yet to come. It’s a reminder that every ending is just a new beginning in disguise.
As we move into this new season, I encourage you to embrace the idea of starting fresh. Whether you’re launching a new project, rethinking a relationship, or simply trying to be more mindful in your day-to-day life, now is the time to set your intentions & move forward with purpose. Get out the pen & paper & start writing the best life you can realistically envision for yourself. Reinvent yourself on paper & bring to life all that makes sense for you at this point in your journey.
Cultural Examples of Starting Over
We see countless examples of people starting over & emerging stronger. How many viral sensations of individuals who turned their lives around after facing significant setbacks pop up on your feed? From social media influencers who pivoted careers to activists who found their voice in times of crisis, these stories inspire us to keep going, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. It is not just for the internet. You can reset & restart right where you are! Career, hobbies, the way you walk & speak, writing, singing, dancing, inventions…your opportunities are limited only by your mind. Go just beyond what you thinks is realistic & start there.
Consider the global conversation around mental health—celebrities like Jamie Foxx, Selena Gomez, all of the athletes who have podcasts & many more have been open about their struggles & the importance of prioritizing well-being. Each details their journey of starting over, focusing on mental health, & rebuilding has been a beacon of hope for many. It's a powerful reminder that starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch; it means starting from experience. You are that next story! You are that beacon of hope for many, just beyond your choice to step into the new you! If you’ve written that amazing life we spoke about earlier, now is a good time to write the affirmations to go with it. No matter how long, you will recite this, out loud, 3 times a day - everyday! Think, write, speak…on our way to manifestation.
Starting Over at Any Age
Starting over isn’t just for the young; it’s for anyone ready to take that leap of faith. I’ve seen people in their 50s and 60s begin new careers, rekindle old passions, or even move to a new city to start a new chapter. It’s never too late to redefine yourself & embrace the changes that come your way.
My daughter’s journey also made me reflect on my own life—how starting over isn’t just about the external changes, but about the internal shifts that bring us closer to our true selves. Whether you’re 22 or 72, there’s always room for growth, healing, & new beginnings.
Tips for Starting Over This Fall
Embrace Change: Change is the only constant. Instead of fearing it, welcome it as an opportunity to grow. Whether it’s a new job, a new relationship, or a new mindset, allow yourself to be open to what comes next. Your perspective will make you or break you.
Set Clear Intentions: What do you want this new chapter to look like? Set clear, achievable goals for yourself. (Write it down & make it plain). Whether it’s daily mindfulness, career ambitions, or personal growth, know where you’re headed & why. Write it down! Be congruent & consistent.
Learn from the Past: Every experience teaches us something. Reflect on what you’ve learned from your past, & use those lessons to guide you forward.
Be Patient with Yourself: Starting over can be challenging, & it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Be kind to yourself, & remember that growth is a process, not an overnight achievement. You will stumble. That is not a reason to quit. Never give up on you! Be consistent & persistent!
Connect with Your Community: We’re all in this together. Surround yourself with people who uplift you, who understand the journey, & who can offer support when you need it. Reach out to us here if you ever need a word of encouragement, some advice or direction or want to share your journey with us. We are all in this together!
As we step into fall, let’s commit to starting over with grace, intention, & a higher consciousness. It may be scary but do not submit to fear. Whether you’re navigating new beginnings like my daughter, or simply looking to elevate your life, remember that every day is a chance to start fresh. If this fresh start was envisioned by you, supported by your affirmations & consistent actions in alignment, then you are on your way to the best days you’ve ever had!
Thank you for being a part of our ELEVATED community. Let’s embrace this season of renewal. Remember, we are better together.
Best & Better,
K
