The first steps in inventing a new you

Inventing a new you can happen by accident. Life has a way of forcing us to adjust to it. And we all evolve as time goes on. We have no choice really, but we do have a choice in how we evolve. We can be followers and do what others are doing or forge our own path but sometimes it’s impossible to stay in the same place. Sometimes we choose to take the easy, most comfortable path. And that’s fine if that’s where you are in life. I definitely had that phase. Life as a single mom was too complicated for me to do anything extra that might make it even more stressful than it already was. But there comes a time where you might feel stuck or stalled out. Maybe you are sick of the same ole thing. You might feel like you are meant for more. You might feel like you don’t know what your purpose is. And you might feel hopeless in ever figuring out what you should be doing to reach your dreams. Thats when you should reach for some help! Speaking with a coach or mentor is the perfect solution in helping you take steps in figuring it all out! And this is when inventing a new you takes a whole new shape. When we purposely seek out how to reinvent ourselves there is nothing you can’t do! And there are steps to use to get things rolling. I want to help you by sharing the steps I used because it will save you time and point you in the direction of your dreams so you can start taking real action! So, let’s not waste any more time and get moving! Grab a journal or a notebook or a napkin I don’t care, but you will need to take notes and make some lists. I suggest finding a favorite type of pen because you may be writing a lot. And put a smile on your face and a dream in your heart because you will never be the same after this whole process. Your life is about to change so be excited!!

Here we go with step number one. It’s probably the most important step of all and it will sound simple, but I’m sure you will find it difficult. I need you to start writing the answer to this question. What do you want? I want you to write everything that comes to mind. Even if it doesn’t make sense to you right now. Who do you want to be or resemble? What do you look like? What are you wearing? What kind of food do you like? Are you physically strong or really flexible or both? Where do you live? What do you drive? What are your hobbies? Who are your friends? Where is your favorite vacation spot? Whats your dream life all about? Who is your partner? Do you even have one? What’s important to you? What don’t you tolerate anymore? What do you want your life to look like? What is your dream job? There is nothing off the table.

And I want you to write it in present tense. For example, I am a best-selling author. I work out every day. I wake up at 6am. I journal every day. I live in Hawaii. Just make this list like a crazy person. Really take your time writing this. You might need a few days to write it all down. There are no wrong answers. And this list will be fine tuned. There will be adjustments over time. Things will be added and removed from your list over time but for now just write. Get it all out! Even if it seems unobtainable write it down anyway!
