How to Give Your Family a Fresh Start

Updated: Aug 8

We came here to clear karmic cycles for our ancestors. Family tension can affect every member of the familial tree. Sadly, it’s pretty common to find relationships floundering from time to time. It’s not easy to live with other people, especially if you’ve had a little too much togetherness lately and not enough positive interactions to balance out the negative.



In “A Fresh Start: The Positive Power Of Embracing New Beginnings” you are going to learn about the power of change and how to embrace it as a source of positive personal growth. You will quickly become aware change does not have to be scary or intimidating, and in fact, it can be liberating and exciting!


With the “Fresh Start” program, you will discover…


· The key types of change that you will inevitably face in your lifetime

· The top 8 fears that prevent us from embracing change and new beginnings

· The positive power of embracing change and reframing it as a good thing

· Powerful tips to help you look forward to change and welcome it with open arms


There is nothing more exciting than a fresh start! Think of it, a brand new chance at a New Beginning!

Of course, not everyone is quite so excited by fresh starts, especially when this idea is still new or perhaps one you haven’t exactly set out to choose for yourself. It can feel pretty daunting until you get used to the idea. In fact, sometimes fresh starts can feel quite scary until you turn them around and make them yours.


What is a New Beginning?

✓ Our lives are filled with New Beginnings from the time we were born. Going to school for the first time was a New Beginning. Every time you moved, you’ve experienced a fresh start.

✓ New Beginnings have certain earmarks. The most common? They contain some differences from the status quo. You're stepping out in a way you haven't before or haven’t for a long time.


New Beginnings You Might Face

✓ A new day

✓ First day of school

✓ New love

✓ A life moment

✓ Job change

✓ Change of address

So, how can you give your family a fresh start when all seems lost?


1. Start with the Right Tone


You’re going to want to pull the whole crew together for a family meeting. But doing so in the wrong tone of voice can kill the whole thing before it even begins. Try to keep your tone positive, or at least neutral as you propose a get-together to talk.

2. Offer an Apology


Start with telling everyone you're hoping you can all start over, beginning with a clean slate. To do this, you'd like to start with an apology for times where you've let the others down. This should not be a detailed apology so much as a heartfelt one. Of course, others might not accept this. This is a good point for discussion. Listen to what others say with a humble spirit.

Remember, you're leading by example. Then give the others room to offer their apologies. At the end of this session, offer and accept forgiveness. 
 

3. Discussion Matters


Now it's time to set out the ground rules from now on. Make sure everyone, even the youngest members of the family, have a say. What would they like family interactions to be like in the future?

Note: This is NOT the time to make long and complicated lists. Keep the goals simple, without too many of them to start.

4. Discussion Matters


Fresh starts as a family can be complicated because not everyone will be on board initially. The key here is to make sure everyone feels like they're being heard. Pay attention to the needs of others, which might sometimes involve a little reading between the lines.


Last, of all, don't forget to make the meetings fun. Make family meeting into pizza night, for example, and end it off with a fun activity like board games or a game of frisbee in the yard.


Change Is Inevitable…


Change is part of life. Change is always happening. But as people we tend to fear change and many of us go out of our way to avoid it entirely.


Why Do We Fear New Beginnings?


The problem with making changes in your life is that they often feel more like endings... which they are. You can’t start fresh without first letting go of something else.


It makes sense when you think about it. You can’t start a new job without first leaving the last one. You can’t start enrolment at a new school without saying goodbye to the last one.


Embrace Change Rather Than Resist...
