A NEW YOU
There are many reasons in our lives that we would choose to reinvent ourselves. it could be because of a career change or loss of a loved one, or breakup of a relationship or a move to new place. As adults we are reinventing ourselves all the time. There may be a major shift and you want to live your life in a new and different way. It can be daunting but if you take it step by step and just keep moving forward you will succeed. As humans we are made to evolve and change. Everyday we can make choices in our lives that will propel us forward or backward. Ultimately reinvention is about self love, its when you love yourself enough that you know you deserve better. You can make yourself who you always wanted to be. You can be brand new.
Its freeing and it requires freedom to choose a new self image. Don’t let your fear of what others might think hold you back from doing what you want. You have to start somewhere so see yourself as you would like to be. Find your strengths and your weakness and use them both to help you move forward in your plan. if you think that you are wanting a new career then read about it, take classes , find a mentor. Even if you have a job and want to change careers, then in your spare time every day put some energy towards your goal. Make a plan. Try things out. Let yourself be inspired. Rekindle your passion. Do what you love and success will follow. If you want to paint then buy a canvas and start painting. if you want to write then read and write. Let others who have done what you want to do be a source of inspiration for you. if you want to start a business then make a business plan.
Reinventing ourselves is scary because it is unknown and there is dangerous or so our brains think it is. so be brave and take chances. And if you fail just stay with it. try it a different way and then try it again. It is definitely a journey in which you must make a commitment and stay with it. Accept failure and resume your commitment.
Take time each day to sit and meditate . It will get you to your core and you will find greater calmness, efficiency and success in your life. If you are feeling really down in the dumps and feel like everything fails then practice gratitude every day. you can have a journal where you write your gratitudes down everyday.
There are many excuses that we can make to hold ourselves back. ultimately reinvention is self love. We need to make friends with ourselves. We can create who we want to be and then take very sincere steps forward towards that manifestation.
if there are things in your life that you always wished you have done then try to make time and space for that to happen. I always wanted to learn to play an instrument and so I am in the college learning to play Ukulele. I struggle with feeling like I suck at playing but i just keep going knowing that eventually I will be able to play enough to accompany my friends. It takes me time and energy and commitment but I know it will be worth it.
You are worth it. You can be your own amazing masterpiece.
