What do you suggest is one great idea on how to get started or begin again at work or in life?

SHEENA GROBB SAYS…
a run, or practicing yoga… establishing a morning ritual is one of the most powerful practices to ground ourselves and begin each day connected to our new vision. And if you happen to be someone who struggles with lack of motivation from time to time… which can be many of us… taking a moment to process our feelings and care for ourselves can remove the roadblocks to the fulfilling productivity we ultimately wish for.Sheena Grobb Singer/Songwriter and Speaker… is humbly amazing. “It is without a doubt a masterpiece of songwriting and soundscape. Really incredible, soulful music. She will definitely get a huge audience in time, trust me.” Alex Wharton, Abbey Road Studios. A songbird from the age of two, songwriter at ten, with 3 albums under her belt, a nomination for the Western Canadian Music Awards, and over 500 tour dates across Canada, the US, and the UK, Sheena Grobb (one of Canada’s best kept secrets) is spilling over. With the release of her newest album, The Breakless Heart, mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, and a life changing music video created by Lindsey Nelko (past choreographer with So You Think You Can Dance), Sheena is embarking on her most meaningful project yet – The Living Compassion Project™ – inviting others to “unlock their lives” through sharing their stories… as she begins to share hers. www.sheenagrobb.com
JOEL SWEENEY SAYS….
March signals the arrival of spring. It is my favourite time of the year. It is a time of renewal, of freshness and of new opportunities. What’s beautiful about it is that the opportunity for rebirth, revitalization and new growth is not limited to any specific area of our lives. We can leverage the potential 
that this time of year offers, in our work and our personal lives. There’s optimism in the air this time of year. The snow starts to recede, the temperatures climb and the days lengthen. People have more spring in their step (pun intended). There’s more of a ‘can do’ feeling associated with spring. I find this time of year more powerful than the start of a new year. We are not caught up in a checklist of New Year’s resolutions: resolutions that are rarely completed, thus impacting our confidence and self-esteem. Instead, we are surrounded by optimism and the art of the possible. There is a different attitude in the air. It is hard not to be impacted by it if you are open to it. Spring offers a special kind of energy. Are you taking advantage of it?

RAY HOLLISTER SAYS…
This question is the central theme to my Inspirational Presentation, “The Death of Harold”. Inherent in the question, is the presupposition is that one’s work/life has somehow ended. And it is the ‘ending’ where we encounter difficulty. Whether you believe your life/work is over because of foul 
play, a serious accident, a major disease, or even an unknown malady, the simple fact is that work/life did NOT end! Rather, it has taken new form. Much like the principle in physics where matter can never truly be destroyed, it merely changes form, when we find ourselves at a crossroads where our life or work seem to be over, it is time to recognize what new form we need to take. So my ‘one great idea’ on how to get started again is this: Seek and embrace the simple joys that make you smile – then, share your joy with everyone.

BARRY LEWIS GREEN SAYS…
This question has particular resonance for me, now more than ever. As a Baha’i, this month I will literally begin the new year on March 21, Naw Ruz… or New Day. It is a special and sacred time. Even more personally is my path back to full health. This past year has been filled with the passing 
of a still-missed mother and a brain bleed. The process of recuperation is a true beginning again. It has caused me to look at my life in new ways, with new eyes; exploring both rest and new paths along the way… including my rediscovered love of writing. All that being said, I cannot truly add to the wisdom of my compatriots above… other than to say that it occurs to me that, beyond cliche, we can truly only live in the now. That tells me that each moment, each day… is new. Each step on the ladder is new. One of my favorite professors (no, actually my favorite) Rolf Hattenauer once said that the best place to start is at the beginning. You just begin. As my favorite band Shinedown sings… “the first step is the one you believe in, the second one might be profound”. Today, let us begin, again.
