“Birds flying high, you know how I feel

Sun in the sky, you know how I feel

Breeze drifting by, you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me…

And I’m feeling good”

– Nina Simon

Lessons from Nina

This winter I’ve become an eager coffee and sunrise watcher.

I know I’m a lucky sun of gun to wake up to great views every morning. Even then some mornings are better than others and remind me that no two days are ever the same but they are always a fresh start.

The added benefit of a New Year is that it helps us to focus; lines are drawn and lessons are learnt from the previous twelve months.

A fresh start doesn’t always mean a new you. Sometimes a radical change is required yet for me fresh starts are about time to reflect, permission to observe and gaining greater understanding of ourselves and our situations.

Year on year a little self-adjustment is essential; refining what’s important and what we feel we need more or less of to make us ever better versions of ourselves.

Inherently we often know what those tweaks need to be. I’m sure you have some. We all do.

At this start of 2016, enjoy gathering your lessons and thoughts. Feel refreshed.

Happy New Year!
