Time for A Reinvention?

Spring is upon us and for many people, this time of year represents reinvention (personally and/or professionally) on some level. 

Is there something else you want to be, do or have?

A new career, bringing that business idea to fruition, changing your exercise and/or eating habits, learning a new language … and the list goes on.

Perhaps external circumstances are causing you to look in a new direction.

We all know that change is inevitable and purposeful reinvention is a vital part of navigating that change to move forward. While many things can happen outside of your control, how you respond is always your choice!

So, when “life” has done a 180, and what was available to you yesterday is no longer an option today, reinvention can help get you to the other side!

Are you willing to grow through what you go through?

Before I continue, let’s get rid of a popular stopping strategy that I have heard from countless individuals who were looking to reinvent their life in some manner, yet remained stuck!

“But, it’s all I’ve ever done.”  Sound Familiar?

I am here to tell you … it may be all you’ve ever done, but it is not all that you are!

Give yourself credit for all your experience, skillsets, knowledge, expertise, etc. Most likely you have many things in your background that can be applied in multiple areas. 

It is also important to note that Purposeful Reinvention can take many forms and does not have to mean a completely life-altering change is taking place (although it might). Perhaps you are adding a new habit or implementing a boundary that makes you feel more empowered. 

The reality, every day, every obstacle, every moment (even seemingly insignificant ones) can bring opportunities for reinvention. It’s up to you to decide if you want to change. If you feel the inkling, wanting your life to be different in some aspect, it’s time to move!

TAKE ACTION to get yourself off the starting block. Reach out for support. It doesn’t matter how large or small the steps are, what matters is you MOVE towards your new goals.

Believe me, I know reinvention can be intimidating. I’ve been there!
