We all would like to turn back the clock to a moment in time or simply push the reset button to see if we might have better luck the second time around. In golf, they call it a mulligan, when your first shot goes into the woods, and you give yourself a second chance by teeing the ball up one more time. In dermatology, it’s called rejuvenation, when the damage of a lifetime of aging is repaired and damaged tissues are replaced.

But we are multidimensional beings. And for most of us, the new beginning we seek are far beyond hitting a golf ball or renewing our skin cells. We seek the true REbirthing of many aspects of our emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual selves.

REbirth – or awakening a new beginning – is a spiritual homecoming. A returning to the memory of our wholeness before the various trauma, drama, loss, grief, or some other pained carved itself into our lives. 

All these experiences have provided strength and wisdom, but we don’t need to hold onto the staleness of their trajectory. Even in the smallest of issues and the tiniest of concerns, you are worthy of a second chance. You are entitled to a new beginning!

So, how awake is your Power of REbirth? Are you ready to step into a new beginning? 

Your ability to spark your new beginning rests at the very core of your existence — the initial seed of stardust that first breathed life into you. But right now, it’s resting dormant in the quietest recesses of your soul, cloaked in darkness by a lifetime of conditioning, waiting to be awakened.

So, before we dive in deeper, let’s find out how asleep it truly is, by taking the pulse of your REBirth-ability.

This simple journaling exercise will bring you instant clarity as you drill down into the key areas of your life. Draw a simple chart with three columns for each section. After you have given a score to each, scan through all five realms of your life and see where your attention has mostly been. All these issues are important in our lives; however, some of them absolutely have greater relevance in a given moment. These will be the three columns that you will use for each realm: 

First: On a scale of 1–10, rate how important or pressing each aspect of your life is to you right now. A way to spark the process is to ask yourself:

“Right now, how much attention am I placing on this area of my life?”

1 = no attention; 10 = constant attention. Assign a number to each below in a first column.

Next: On a scale of 1–10, rate how satisfied you are with this aspect of your life. Ask yourself:

“How satisfied am I with this aspect of my life?”

1 = totally unsatisfied; 10 = super-satisfied. Enter these numbers into a second column.

And last, on a scale of 1–10, rate your desire for REbirth by asking:

“How deeply do I desire a new trajectory in this aspect of my life?”

1= no desire; 10 = deep desire. Enter these numbers in a third column.

Your high-attention areas are where the majority of your 60,000 thoughts a day have been concentrated. If there are areas of your life that you feel are important to you but your attention has been elsewhere, it’s because other high-attention areas are stealing your energy. In every moment, we get to choose where we want to place our energy. If you feel that you haven’t been giving your best to certain areas, it’s not because you don’t care. It’s because you are allowing other, less important issues to hijack your attention.
