Fast-forward to today, as we stand at the threshold of what was and what can be. How do we tap into that inner voice of knowing? How can we make new choices consciously and with courage? No question these moments will be full of confusion and upheaval. But if we rise to the challenge, we will discover the rewards can be amazing.

Step outside the box with these creative ways to try something new and never look back:

1. Find sanctuary. Find a place of retreat, where you can step outside the busyness of your life so that you can better relax and recharge your mind.

2. Find time to take stock. Ask yourself: What is possible for me in my life right now? What is holding me back? What do I want to change? What do I long to do or be?

3. Trust your gut. Following your instincts is more important than ever.

4. Embrace the feelings. Understand that change is scary, but realize that these upsetting feelings indicate that we are redefining our lives and shifting from what we thought we should be to who we authentically are.

Get it started. When you start matters less than that you start.
