When we think about renovations, we think about taking something as it is and renewing it, updating it, or changing it to make it newer, fresher, and more appealing right? Well, if you’ve been watching me for a while, I had a series of posts about my recent experience with renovating my basement. The whole reason I wanted to renovate it was to have a really cool, safe, and warm space for my boys to play and hang out. A ‘boy-cave’! What we found when renovations started was surprising. When walls came down, there was evidence of major past issues. It delayed the process by weeks. It ended up costing more than expected and there were times where I literally wanted to scream. But you know what? Now, the basement is a BEAUTIFUL space and I’m so thankful we went through it. In my posts I would equate my renovation process to the renovation of our minds. Check them out.

Renovating our minds is necessary sometimes. We have to change the old thoughts for new thoughts so that we can grow.
Renovations part two

Sometimes when we go through changing our mindset, we are blessed with amazing blessings but it can take a bit more work than expected. It could end up being a bit more work than expected and we may want to give up. But keep the goal in the forefront of your mind. Keep the vision in front of you. You got this!
So you are making progress with your renovations. You are starting to feel good and you are finding that you are more energized and thinking more clear and then BOOM! Hit with a roadblock. Something has come up that you were not expecting and you have to get through it. Keep the goal and vision in the forefront of your mind. Take care of yourself and keep moving forward.
The inconveniences, the extra cost, the craziness WAS ALL WORTH IT! We now have a beautiful space and have come to the finish line. When we are in the process of renovating our minds it is VERY likely that we are going to encounter issues we were not planning to come across. Unexpected pitfalls happen but don’t let it stop you! Persevere. The end result is AMAZING.
SLAY your day! Believe in you.
