We often hold back because the idea of change feels overwhelming. But growth isn't linear, and perfection isn't required for renewal. Incremental progress---messy starts and awkward pivots---is what moves us toward a better version of ourselves. Renewal doesn't mean wiping your slate clean; it means showing up, day after day, for the slow process of becoming something new.
If you've made the same mistake for the 100^th^ time, that doesn't mean renewal isn't possible. It means learning to try for the 101^st^ time with a little more knowledge and grace.
Think about one area in your life where you need renewal, but feel unsure of how to start. What's one imperfect, small step you can take today to begin anew?
