Whatever you are looking to
reinvent about yourself know that it’s going to take discipline to stay on
track. #NoDaysOff When it comes to reinventing yourself you have to understand and decide
on one thing. Who do you want it to matter to the most? Is it for yourself or
for the people around you? If it’s for you, then you cannot be afraid to change
a few things you aren’t happy with. I mean, we go through our lives every day
in our pursuit of happiness and if certain portions of our lives aren’t
bringing us happiness then change is a very feasible option.
If it’s for the people around you, your followers, or even your clients then it can be a bit more delicate. I always say “Every time you open your mouth, you’re telling the world who you are. So make it count.” What is it you want your audience to see? What is it you’re looking to change and how dramatic of a change will it be to the people that already support you? Just some things to think about before you start your journey. I’ve come up with a list of ways for reinventing yourself.

You can use any or all of these
ways of reinventing yourself:
- Decide what areas of your life you want to reinvent. (Also, look at how this change affects the other parts of your life.)
- Make a list of the changes you’re looking to make. Get specific. It’s more about the smaller details that will affect the habits you are looking to change or enhance.
- Evaluate the changes and how it will affect you and the people around you.
- Evaluate how you present yourself and the subtle changes you can make to make those engagements impactful.
- TAKE ACTION!
- Find people that you would like to learn from or collaborate with in this change. They may know more about its effects than you do at the moment.
- Look for people that inspire you. Added inspiration to an already powerful and motivated fire is like adding fuel to it. It will only drive more action.
- Read. Research. Study. – If you’re going to try something even if you think it’s new, it probably is a derivative or originated in some way from something else. Research it and give it real meaning.
- Be persistent. You want this change more than anyone and only you understand why it means so much. Let the world see that meaning.
- TAKE ACTION!
- Use Clarity, Communication and Collaboration. You’ll get better the more you take action with it.
- Explore new areas of your city or other locations. See the difference in personalities and how much they are drawn to you.
- Ask a lot of questions. Know any mentors or consultants… hint-hint… wink-wink. ;)
- TAKE ACTION!
- Seek new information, knowledge and ideas.
- Consistency is the key, when it comes to reinvention. Stay with it!
- TAKE ACTION! (I think you get it by now.)
I want you to do this
exercise: Put your arms down at your side. Now, raise your arms out to the side
as if you were a human version of the capital letter ‘T’. Now reach all the way
up where your hands touch way above your head. Got it? Now realize all of that
space from your side all the way to the top of your head. That is your comfort
zone. Now I want you to pick a spot on the other side (far side) of the room.
It doesn’t matter how far, just far enough where it is out of your immediate reach.
If where you stand is your comfort zone, would you be able to get to the spot
on the other side of the room without moving? Probably not! But by taking a
step toward the spot you are leaving your comfort zone (taking action) and to
reinvent yourself, that’s exactly what you’re going to need to do.
