Many people use the start of a new year to motivate them to set new goals, start new projects or look for a new job. It always seems to be a time to “jump-start” yourself, and, with a “new beginnings” mindset, it’s the perfect time to begin the repotting process.

In spring, thoughts also turn to new beginnings, starting over, and planting new “seeds,” whether that means launching a long-delayed education plan, ramping up your career or laying the groundwork for future travel with family or friends.

As we approach summer, some people may enjoy a more leisurely pace. The end of the school term, casual Fridays, vacation plans and other signs of a break in our hectic lives occur. In this less structured environment, it is often easier for repotters and potential repotters to find the time they need for reflection and research to uncover their personal touchstone, pursue a new career, or develop creative solutions to disruptions caused by the economic downturn.

Repotters can use the downtime offered by the summer months to analyze next steps in a job search, discuss options for lifestyle changes with family and friends, uncover new ideas for their optimal life landscape plan, and think imaginatively about how to bring their core values into focus in their lives. Make the summer as productive a period as spring, fall,and the new year!

We are planning a summer retreat to brainstorm about a series of repotting conferences next fall to help women manage their lives in today’s new economic reality. What are you planning to do?
