Wednesday Wisdom: Reassessment

December 18, 2024

Wednesday Morning, Wednesday Wisdom, Inspiration for the New Year, 2025 Message

The verb reassess means considering something again, especially if new factors have emerged since you first assessed the issue. This word might be stirring in your heart and mind lately.

We reassess our shopping lists until Christmas and Hannukah arrive.

We reassess our business or career goals as the year ends.

We might reassess our health by comparing it to last December.

We could even be reassessing relationships after the Presidential election.

As I ran my first long run yesterday since having COVID-19 the past week, I reassessed my body, lungs, and mind to ensure I wasn’t doing any harm. I adjusted my tempo, took longer walk breaks, and told myself the miles, not the speed, is what counted. Reassessing can happen in minutes, seconds, or days, not only over a year.

Within its description, the word “reassess” has the key phrase ‘especially while paying attention to new or different factors.’ Sometimes factors force us to reexamine a circumstance immediately, other times a situation might gently erode a stance until a new direction makes more sense.  

Perhaps you reevaluate a particular area of your life or business and analyze it again to see if you reach the same conclusion.

Every Wednesday I get a message from someone who reads my wisdom telling me it was especially meant for them. I am grateful they tell me that never knowing what I write about helps others. The wisdom comes in a one-word moment, appearing like a clear moment in the fog, the Tuesday before I send it.

So, if today’s wisdom resonates with you, I hope you take a few minutes to write down what needs reassessing in your life, business, relationships, career, or health. Ponder this list in the calmness of the holiday period before midnight on New Year’s Eve so you are prepared to make the changes you may need to make to be happier, healthier, and generally better in 2025.
