i recently learned something called “the starting over theory,” and it settled into my bones the way truth always does. because this is exactly where i am in my life: the sacred space between the collapse and the becoming.
in ayurveda, every ending is a digestion.
a fire.
a clearing of what your system can no longer hold.
your new life needs space.
your new timeline needs permission.
your new identity needs you to believe she exists before anyone else recognizes her.
and she does exist.
she’s already walking toward you with steadier feet than you have right now.
the biggest breakthroughs don’t happen in the chapters that feel balanced and predictable.
they happen in the messy in-between —
the vata season of your soul,
when everything is shifting and your only job is to breathe, warm the body, and trust the wind is carrying you somewhere truer.
starting over is a rebalancing.
a return to your own prakriti.
a remembering of who you were before the world asked you to be everything else.
if you’re in your starting over era —
if something ended, if a door closed,
if a version of you quietly completed her cycle —
remember this:
this chapter has nothing left for me,
and i’m brave enough to choose the next one.
no one warns you how raw it feels when the familiar crumbles.
how exposed you feel without your old routines,
your old identity,
your old armor.
but ayurveda teaches that every collapse is intelligent.
every shedding is seasonal.
every rebirth begins with grounding, nourishment, and listening to the subtle voice inside you saying,
“your dharma is shifting — follow it.”
starting over isn’t a failure.
it’s alignment.
it’s evolution.
it’s the moment your soul outgrows the life that could no longer hold your truest form.
starting over doesn’t mean you lost the plot;
it means you outgrew it.
