“The beginning is the most important part of any work” – Plato
Hiya!!! Thank you sooo much for being here! Roll up your sleeves and let’s go!
I haven’t posted here in a very long time! Many, many things have happened since my last post! However, today we won’t be focusing on the time that has already passed, I choose to focus on the time to come.
I’m a total fan of this time of the year. I know it’s controversial as many people might be having a very hard time. That’s exactly why I hope I can spread a little bit of joy here and there.
It’s my intention today to talk about new beginnings. Did you know that there’s science backing up the positive impact new beginnings can have? A new beginning can take many forms. It can be a random Monday, the first day of each month, maybe your birthday. For many people, it is when we start a new year, and for others it can be every single morning when they first open their eyes.
What does a new beginning bring?
A new beginning gives us a blank slate, a second (or third, or fourth) chance, an opportunity to start or to start again. Of course, it doesn’t mean to forget what hasn’t worked before – we’ve definitely learnt from that. But it gives us some hope that this time things can go in a different direction.
There’s no magic! – Or is there?
Some people might argue that the success of this actually does not depend so much on the new beginning as such, but on us setting a clear goal, being sure of our intention, and working on the habits to make it work. And I agree! A person taking the time to think about what they really want, setting a clear intention, and working for it is magical enough! It can be pretty impressive what we can achieve with all that determination.
I don’t know if you are the type of person who believes in the power of new beginnings, but if you are, I really hope the chance of a new year gives you that extra touch of magic to set your mind on whatever your goal is. I want to wish you all the very, very best for 2022!
What new beginnings are you excited about? If English is one of your goals, I certainly hope you have me in mind for that! Please check our Let’s work together! section for more information on current and upcoming projects.

Thanks a million for being here! It does mean a lot! Until next week, make sure your bilingual brain stays active! See you soon!
