1/ The Possibility Meter:  Take one of your ideas for a new beginning (big or small) in any area of your life. Write a pros and cons list about pursuing this new possibility. This is usually a really good barometer of where your passions lie. Notice how you feel about the list.  If you are worried that the CON side seems to be longer than the PRO side and you want it to be the other way around, then you have given yourself a great big indicator of your next action. If that is the case, under PRO write in big letters "this is what I want to do".  CASE CLOSED.

2/ Ask for support : Ask a friend, a lover, your coach to support you as you think about and plan your new beginning.   No man is an Island!  And believe me, even those of us who are independent to a fault need that support to have the strength to venture forth into new territory.

3/ Celebrate:  Remind yourself that any step, no matter how small, is movement forward.  Celebrate each of those steps with gusto!
 
Your new beginning might not pan out. Oh and yes, you might fail.   And to that I say - heed the words of British Beekeeper Michael Hunt, age 62, who continues his hobby despite having a severe allergy to bee stings. He gets about 6 bee stings a year.  "There's a danger in everything" he said.  "If you didn't take risks you'd never achieve anything. "
 
And if it turns out that your scrabble tiles are all vowels and your first tee shot had a wicked hook that ends up landing your ball in the woods. Well, there is always the next game. Another first tee shot.   Another new beginning.  Another breathtaking moment of possibility.
