Begin Again: The Practice I Return to When Life Feels Heavy
A gentle 28-day gratitude practice for tender seasons
There are moments when life feels loud, tender, or unexpectedly heavy — when even the practices we love feel hard to reach for.
In those moments, I don’t look for something new or dramatic.
I return to something simple.
Begin Again is the practice I come back to when I need steadiness more than momentum, grounding more than goals, and kindness more than pressure.
This 28-day gratitude and grounding practice was co-created with my dear friend Sarah Kajani shaped by years of lived experience, gentle discipline, and what we’ve each found most supportive during seasons of transition.
It’s inspired by the intentional focus of The Secret and the quiet wisdom of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up - not as something to “do perfectly,” but as an invitation to notice what supports you, and to let go of what no longer does.
This is not about manifesting harder or fixing yourself.
It’s about creating a small, reliable ritual - just ten minutes a day - that helps you soften, ground, and make space for what’s next.
✶ What if beginning again didn’t require fixing yourself?
What if your healing didn’t need more time, more energy, or even more willpower?
What if all it asked for was ten minutes of intentional presence?
That question sits at the heart of Begin Again.
This practice is for those of us who feel:
stretched thin
exhausted yet quietly hopeful
ready to return to ourselves - gently
Each day, you’re guided back into steadiness, hope, and capacity - without pressure, perfection, or performance.
This is a practice for real life.
Messy life. Tender life. Human life.
✶ About Your Guides
Begin Again is co-created by Rebecca Jo-Rushdy and Sarah Kajani - two practitioners who share a commitment to gentle discipline, nervous-system awareness, and practices that honour real life.
Rebecca is a Master KonMari® Consultant and guide in mindful decluttering, nervous-system care, and intentional living. Her work supports sensitive souls in releasing what no longer serves — with compassion, clarity, and care.
Sarah is an intuitive writer and teacher who supports people in expanding their capacity and returning to their inner authority. She works with relational language and presence, using tools as mirrors rather than maps.
Together, we created Begin Again as a practice we wished existed in our own tender seasons — something steady, simple, and kind.

✶ Why This Matters
When life feels tender, the nervous system doesn’t need motivation — it needs safety.
Begin Again is for you if:
you’re healing, grieving, transitioning, or quietly rebuilding
you want consistency without rigidity
you desire structure that soothes — not stresses
you want to build capacity, not productivity
you want to start the year with yourself, not against yourself
This is not a challenge to complete.
It’s a rhythm to return to.
✗ This Is Not
Toxic positivity
A hustle routine
A productivity challenge
Spiritual bypassing
✓ This Is
Daily nervous-system nourishment
Gentle discipline that builds trust with yourself
Micro-doses of healing and hope
A compassionate re-entry into consistency
✶ You Don’t Need to Be Ready
You don’t need to feel motivated.
You don’t need to do this perfectly.
You just need a place to begin.
