Turning a New Leaf

The change of seasons is a good time for introspection.  What are you doing that can be done better? Are there relationships you can improve?  Can you use your time more effectively? Taking a moment to look inside and better yourself is a constant challenge, especially when you're preoccupied with so much to do.  But what better time to do it, then now, as you find yourself getting ready to begin a new stage in your life.

It's easy to say you'd like to start fresh, but turning a new leaf is no easy task.  It is best to start small.  Pick something you want to work on.  Make sure it is something that you truly feel compelled to change.  That will keep you motivated through the process.  Also ask yourself, is this goal realistic and achievable.  If it's not, than see if you can turn it into one.  You may not be able to repair broken relationships with a family members before your wedding day, but you may be able to find a way not to argue with them, for example.  When you follow through with your intended action, go ahead and pat yourself on your back.  Change is hard work.  The more you stick to it, the more likely you'll create the outcome you intend.  And a better you will be a great springboard into your marriage.  Happy Autumn!
