Have you ever found yourself unhappy with how your life is going? I have! That may be the time to think about why you should reinvent yourself.
8 years ago today I made the decision to walk away from a marriage that was toxic with a man that never even loved me. I called it my personal Independence Day. On that day I made the decision to choose myself. I was empowered to take my life back. But somewhere along the way over the past 8 years, I’ve lost myself again.
Many people know that I’ve had some struggles over the past few years. There have been struggles in my finances, health, and relationships. But this has been a recurring pattern throughout my life. Despite the struggles, I always try to remain positive and lift others up.
I’m not completely in love with who I am today and what my life is like now. So, I realized that it is time for me to choose me again. It’s time for a big change. It’s time to completely reinvent myself and my life. And it’s definitely time for me to be happy again!
It’s time for a do-over. And it’s time for me to deconstruct all the things in my life that haven’t been working. Like any good renovation project, you’ve got to demolish things first so that you can build things up the way you want them.
What I’m changing in my life to reinvent myself…
I’m taking myself out of hermit mode
I’ve spent far too much time isolating myself over the past few years. I’ve been hiding away from the world. It’s time for me to really be seen.
I’m no longer accepting people in my life who aren’t willing to make an effort for me
Any relationship requires effort by both to be healthy. One-sided relationships aren’t healthy. And they don’t work for me anymore! People will show you how much they value you by their actions. If there are no actions, that is showing you what you really mean to them. And it’s okay to cut off people who don’t value you. When I recognized the people in my life who have done that I realized I certainly deserve better!
I am opening my heart and letting others in
I closed myself off for far too long because of the acts of a few. But I deserve to not only be loved but to share the love I have with the RIGHT people instead of keeping them at arm’s length.
I am speaking my truth to the world
There is so much of me I’ve held back because of people-pleasing. Who I am and my gifts and abilities don’t always make people comfortable. So I’ve held back for such a long time. But I can’t do that anymore. It’s time I speak more about who I really am. What I write and the content I create will reflect that.
I’m no longer settling in my life
I have let lower emotions rule over my life for a very long time. But I AM love. So I’m not settling for anything less than living a life of joy, abundance, love, peace, creativity, ease, and flow. I’m not going to spend my life swimming upstream. If it ain’t flowing it’s gotta be going!!!
I’m willing to let go of all of the things that no longer align with who I am becoming
That means being willing to walk away from jobs, environments, situations, and people that are not part of living my best life.
I am creating my own financial freedom
I am using my innate creative gifts to create a better financial future instead of accepting jobs and ways of earning money that were not aligned with joy and true creativity. Hustle culture doesn’t work for me. Radical creativity does!
I’m no longer letting ANYTHING hold me down!
I don’t care what situations arise in my life…I ALWAYS rise above them!
I am putting myself FIRST!
It’s time to meet my own needs and truly nurture my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health! Self-love is my priority! I can’t have enough love to share with others if I don’t love myself.
Now stand back and watch me step into my power as I reinvent myself!
