Hey everyone, its PK. For this week, our affirmations will focus on starting fresh.

You know, I like to work on starting fresh in September for a number of reasons. First of all, it's my birth month. Hello to all the Virgos out there. And it's also the end of the year that I feel so blessed to have been able to experience. And it's also the beginning of a new year that's waiting with so many blessings for me to claim. Also, for many people, September is the end of summer, sad to say, and it's the beginning of autumn. It's also the start of the academic year, when there's new learning and growth and development of students. And not to forget, it's the month of Rosh HaShana, and the celebration of the Jewish New Year. In short, it's just a time to grow personally,

Just for a little background, a little smidgen. September comes from the Latin word septum, which means seven. And that goes way back to the time of the Roman calendar, when September was actually the seventh month.

For me, it's a time to reorganize and get a fresh start on life. How about you? Do you wait for December 31 to plan for the new things you want to manifest and accomplish in your lives? Or do you start sooner?

With all that being said, today's affirmation is: I let go of past thoughts and feelings that have held me back. And I start fresh. I let go of past thoughts and feelings that have held me back and I start fresh. I let go of past thoughts and feelings that have held me back and I start fresh.

So here's what I want you to do for me. Make a list of the thoughts and feelings that have held you back and that continue to hold you back. Then make a list of which of these things can you control in your efforts to move forward and which of these things are out of your control?

The best advice I can give you is to focus on what you can control because where your focus goes, your energy grows. And this is not something that I'm making up myself. I've heard it several times. So just make sure that you're focusing on the people on the things on the places and on situations that would allow you to get a fresh start. This is PK sending you light and a whole lot of love.
