5 Ways To Reinvent Yourself and Change Your Life

5 ways to Reinvent Yourself

Isn’t it time to reinvent yourself and take control of your life?  As you well know, there will always be people trying to steal your joy and break your confidence.

But today, it’s up to YOU to decide whether or not your are going to allow others to dictate how you will act and perform.  No more seeking approval and pleasing others.

I want you to stand tall and know you have the knowledge and fortitude to move forward.  I do not want you to let your current circumstances dictate your future.  You have everything within you to accomplish your vision, your goals and turn your dreams into reality. 

So are you ready to get started?  Then let’s begin.

5 ways to reinvent yourself

Be Accountable – Stay Committed Throughout the Process

Let me ask you a few questions before we get started to see if any of these resonate with you.

Have you been delaying or procrastinating lately or maybe your not accomplishing as much as you would like?  Are some of your goals or dreams stuck in neutral gear?   Well… In order to be happy and reinvent yourself, then stop pushing everything to the back burner.  You have to be accountable to yourself first.

It’s not about making excuses or pointing fingers at someone else.  You have to look inside and decide are you happy with yourself.  If you’re not, then you have to decide what are YOU going to do. 

Don’t look towards your spouse, significant other, your boss, co-worker or anyone else.. it’s about deciding what you want to do and then making YOURSELF accountable.

To be accountable you have to stay committed, be present, and be persistent in your quest to achieve you goal.  It’s not about using that “Someday phrase”  its about doing something today to change your current situation. It’s about creating new positive habits and making those habits a priority.

It’s Okay To Take Risks and Be Fearful

There is an amazing transformation that occurs from overcoming your fears by trying something new.  When you begin to step outside your comfort zone and take on a new task, job or assignment and see changes happening, your confidence and self-esteem will automatically increase.

Fear has always been the great enemy of success.  More people are held back by fears than any other factor.  It is an emotion that overrides our intelligence, stops us from moving towards our goals and impacts the quality of our life.

It’s about taking a risk and stepping outside of your comfort zone.  Yes, taking risks can be scary and stressful.  We have all faced those moments in our lives where uncertainty played a major role; a career switch, moving to a new home or country, starting college, quitting a job, getting married, a divorce or having a child.

However, it’s necessary to feel a little uncomfortable and take action in order to reach new goals, explore our talents, open our minds to new ideas and opportunities.

It’s not an easy task and it requires a large amount of courage, but isn’t that what life is about…  TAKING RISKS!

Love Yourself First

Self-love is about appreciating oneself and it only grows from the actions which support our physical, emotional and spiritual growth.  Self-love is dynamic and it forms the most important foundation for relationships and the true connection you have with yourself.

To love yourself is not only a confidence and self-esteem booster, it is a prerequisite in order to love others.  You must be willing to meet your needs and realize you are amazing and deserve happiness.

Research has shown when you practice self-love; you are happy with your life, you have greater resilience and higher levels of compassion.

Raising the self-love barometer may take some time, however, I want you to stay committed and support yourself during difficult times.

Do Your Best and Forget the Rest – Not About Perfection

If not now, when?  If you believe in something, go for it. Don’t get bogged down in all the noise. The truth is perfectionism leads to procrastination, and what follows is paralysis.  Don’t be slowed down by indecisiveness, just do your best and forget the rest.  I want you to double down because experience is only gained through taking action.

Acknowledge Your Effort. It is not always about winning or coming in first place.  It’s about the action and effort you take each day to accomplish your tasks.  You are amazing and the choices you made were based upon specific circumstances.  Each day your slate is wiped clean and tomorrow is another day to make it right.

Trust Yourself. Have confidence in your skills and abilities. Don’t allow outside opinions to affect how your see yourself and don’t allow others to steal your joy.  

Keep laser focused on your goals and allow yourself to be your biggest cheerleader.   You are more than capable to achieve your heart’s desire.

Commit To Success

 

Be Honest With Yourself and Others.  Have Courage

Trusting in yourself, your talents and your abilities is a key factor in staying positive and developing courage and self-love.

When you believe in yourself  it means your will succeed in spite of what others think.  It means you will not be side tracked or held back by the doubters.  It also means you will have unshakeable faith, you will achieve your goals and push through any obstacle or challenge in your path.

Life is about choices and you are the Leader of all your choices.  Your are the decision maker, you are the driver and your driving force comes from within you.  

Whether or not you act on an opportunity or make a specific choice is a matter of initiative.  Forward action, courage, determination and believing in yourself is what will lead you to success.

Be kind to yourself and take it one step at a time and one day at a time.  When you empower yourself to take accountability and responsibility, it is a measure of your self-worth which takes strength and courage.  

Final Note:

Reinventing  and loving yourself is a win-win situation.  It provides inner happiness, boosts your confidence, self-esteem and provides peace of mind.

It enables you to make healthier choices and sound decisions across all areas of your life. It also lends itself to rejoice in other people’s good fortune rather than wondering “why, not me.”  Ultimately, the more you love yourself, the more you will embrace yourself and the world around you.

10 Simple Ways To Find Happiness and Bring Joy Back Into Your Life

Be Open For Change.

In order to become a proficient in stepping outside of your comfort zone, it’s important to understand the behavior patterns causing you to remain stuck in a rut. 

Having control and certainty about every aspect of your life is what keeps us complacent.   Just think about how few risks you would take, if you had to be certain of the result before taking action:

  • You would not get in your car, drive to the store unless you were certain, you would avoid getting in an accident.
  • You would not accept a promotion unless you were sure you could live up to the new responsibilities and expectations.
  • You would not make new friends unless you were sure they would approve of you.

The truth of the matter is there are many areas of life where we have stopped worrying about potential disasters, by surrendering and trusting in the process.

Do you know you can apply this same level of trust to any action in your life?  How do you learn to worry less and trust more? Like anything else, you practice.  You can systematically break patterns and routines by doing something different.

Yes, it takes patience, courage, commitment and bravery, however, when you get on the other side and see the results, it will be worth it.

5 Steps to Build Your Confidence and Achieve Your Goals

Stay Organized.

One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to get organized.  Creating a “To Do” list can make you very proficient and if you have not already purchased an organizer, I highly suggest you do. 

If I could offer one word of advice: It’s to follow the KISS principle (Keep it Simple, Sincere).  The KISS principle is key in working efficiently and staying organized. Most people tend to over complicate a task or become overwhelmed with a specific project.

Starting is always the most difficult, so in order to get organized, start with something that motivates you.  For example, some people are motivated by performing the most difficult task first.

If this resonates with you, then start organizing your storage closet, you know the one you keep forcing and pushing more items into… and then you need the weight of your body to close the door!!  Yes, I see you!

But if your looking for a BIG win, then pick something a little easier to complete and organize.  Perhaps rearranging your silverware drawer or cleaning out that junk drawer where items just seem to randomly appear each week.

And if you’re still having issues getting organized, then turn on the jams.  Music can be very stimulating and keep you moving.

Tune into your favorite playlist and let the organization begin.  Just think… if you listen to at least 3 or 4 songs, you would have been organizing for at least 10 minutes! May I suggest my latest Feel Good playlist. Take a listen and let’s get this organization party started!!

Pay Off Debt.

It is no surprise that financial debt can cause stress, anxiety and sleepless nights.

However, the most important step you can do – TODAY, is to make a plan and start the process.   Whether it’s working with creditors, your bank or utility companies, all of them are all willing to negotiate a payment plan.  They would rather receive some payment than none at all.

It’s about facing your reality even if it hurts or you feel uncomfortable about it.  Let me ask you a very simple question:

Do you avoid opening those pesty credit card bills?  If you answered yes, then I am guessing you may be depressed or stressed about how much debt has been accumulated.  However, there is ALWAYS a way out.

First, you have to create a budget.  You only have so much money coming in and you to balance it with your expenses going out.  Sit down with a pencil and paper and write down every monthly expense.

When it is written in black and white its takes on a life of it’s own.  If your spending more money than you are receiving, we have a little issue.  Like I mentioned earlier, all creditors are willing to negotiate a payment plan, however, you need to stay committed throughout the process in order to reduce your debt.

If you are having a difficult time managing your own finances, then reach out to a debt specialists.  They will help you create a budget to pay off your debt and build up your savings account. Once you manage your financial stress, the anxiety and depression will slowly drift away and your confidence level will automatically rise up!

Commit To Success

Stay Active.

If you are serious about improving your life and managing stress, then you must achieve a healthy, active lifestyle.

Regular exercise is an important part of maintaining a healthy mind and body. It can make you feel energized boosting your confidence and mental strength.  An exercise program doesn’t need to be super complicated to provide meaningful benefits. Even a 30 minute walk, three times a week can significantly help combat depression and improve one’s sense of self-worth.

Research has shown staying active:

  • Elevates our mood
  • Increases our self-esteem
  • Release those happy hormones
  • Makes us feel good about our physical self
  • Leaves you feeling energized and empowered
  • Provides you with a sense of accomplishment

Below are a couple of basic exercises you can incorporate in your daily life:

  • A 30 minute walk
  • Yoga routine
  • Swimming
  • Riding your bike
  • Take a “Pound” or Zumba class
  • Weight Training / Strength
  • Kayak or Canoeing
  • Meditating for Relaxing

Whatever exercise you decide to do, make it versatile and fun.  Any exercise activity which promotes a healthier lifestyle will leave you feeling Happy, Motivated and Rejuvenated. It’s about staying committed and persistent to see lasting results.

Eat Healthy.

The food we eat can have a great impact on our mood and if you want to improve your life, feel good, then you have to include some of the foods that will naturally lift your spirits.  There are superfoods that have been clinically proven to fight depression, lift energy, ease anxiety and generally make you feel good.  Start you day out right and consider these mood-boosting foods to help cheer you up!

  • Salmon
  • Spinach
  • Blueberries
  • Dark Chocolate
  • Brazil Nuts
  • Honey
  • Coconut
  • Sunflower Seeds
  • Avocado
  • Grapefruit

If a single food was guaranteed to make you instantly slim or happy, the stores would have to fight back aggressive shoppers. 

However, the goal is to eat a variety of healthy, nutritious foods rather than focusing on a one magic bullet.  The next time you’re out shopping select a piece of fruit instead that bag of candy.  Your body will thank you tomorrow!

50 Lifestyle Changes To Improve Your Health

  1. Meal prep on Sunday.  If you prep your food on Sunday, you won’t have to worry about cooking after a long day’s work.  Open the refrigerator, heat it up and you have a home cooked meal ready and waiting.
  2. Exercise in the morning.  Can you just imagine the energy and motivation you will feel when you release those endorphins first thing in the morning?  You will feel energized all day long.
  3. Go to bed early.  Nothing beats a good nights rest!  Your mind will thank you and you will be more active and creative.
  4. Meditate.  This daily practice will keep you relaxed and calm throughout the day.  This is my favorite morning routine and I can’t live without it.
  5. Do Yoga.  Ahh Yes!!  If you have never tried this practice, I highly recommend it.  I have been a yoga instructor for over 14 years and yoga has the power to transform your mind and improve your flexibility. 
  6. Volunteer at a women’s shelter.  When you give of yourself, you heart smiles and you truly understand the meaning; “It’s more important to give than to receive.”   
  7. Drink 8 glasses of water.  Hydrating is one the most important things you can do to flush out those toxins.  Did you know keeping hydrated can combat fatigue?  Stay hydrated!  🙂
  8. Read all food labels.  If you are not reading labels on the food your purchase, you just maybe eating excessive sugar and saturated fats.  Stay mindful of processed food, it contains the largest amount of salt and sugar.
  9. Take vitamins.  Supplements keep us on track with the nutrient gaps we are missing in our diet.  Stay healthy and find a vitamin that works for you.
  10. Create a monthly budget.  A budget keeps you on track with the money coming in and the money going out.   By budgeting your money, you are in control of your finances allowing you to save money for your goals.
  11. Write down your goals.  When you see your goals written down in black and white, they take on new meaning.  You stay more focused and on task.
  12. Try and avoid processed food.  Convenience can mean large amounts of hidden sugar, fat and sodium.  Learn which processed foods to avoid in your diet.
  13. Smile at a complete stranger.  Make someone’s day by showing your pearly whites and saying “hi” to a complete stranger.   Don’t wait for a person to smile, show them how it’s done!
  14. Invest in you. Self-care is necessary if you want to refuel your gas tank.  You cannot give of yourself when your gas tank is on empty.
  15. Read a good book.  Knowledge is power and reading is an activity that keeps the brain active and increase mental stimulation.
  16. Start an investment plan. It’s never too late to plan for your future.  Create a plan to help and improve your financial goals. 
  17. Eat more fruits and vegetable. Fruits and vegetables are a very important part of your diet.  Start your day off right by adding fruits or vegetables to your breakfast routine.
  18. Start a journal. Journaling is the perfect way to write down your thoughts to release the stress and gain mental clarity.  By writing down your thoughts, you can begin to solve your problems and stay focused.
  19. Create a morning ritual. Start your day out right with a morning ritual to boost your energy.  Be sure you have the right blend of both physical and mental activities.
  20. Have an attitude of gratitude. Be grateful for what you have instead of being discouraged by what you don’t have.  Life is not always fair but being grateful is a choice.
  21. Be spontaneous. One of the best ways to beat boredom is to do something spontaneous.  Think of it as an adventure to break up your daily routine.
  22. Write a “To Do” list.  A lists keeps you focused on what needs to be accomplished.   The ability to check something off on your to-do list giving you a sense of progress and fulfillment.
  23. Recycle.  Keep our environment clean by recycling.  It helps to preserve our resources enabling us to have clean air and water.
  24. Watch less TV.  Is TV influencing the way you see the world? Do your own investigation to seek the truth.  Too much TV results in a disillusionment about what we expect from politics, love and relationships. 
  25. Treat everyone with respect. Treat everyone with the same respect you would like to receive in return.  You may no agree with their morals or values but honor their opinion.  
  26. Stand firm to your beliefs and values.   Always do the right thing even when no one else is watching.  Do not allow outside factors, whether it’s people opinions or peer pressure, to prevent you from choosing the right thing to do.
  27. Dream BIG.  Are you ready to dream BIG?  Don’t be the person who views their life from the rear view mirror.  If you don’t take a risk you will never feel true freedom. 
  28. Hang out with positive people.  Surround yourself with people who encourage and champion your efforts. Positive people are optimistic and always see their glass half FULL.
  29. Stop comparing.  Stop comparing yourself to other people. Low self-esteem stems from feeling inferior.  Your personal mission is to be better today than you were yesterday.  
  30. Declutter and stay organized.   One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to declutter and get organized. Make lists or     purchase an organizer. Do whatever works for you. One word of advice: follow the KISS principle (Keep it Simple, Sincere).  
  31. Don’t be judgmental.  Although judgment is a natural instinct, try to catch yourself before you speak.  Remember you cannot get your words back. 
  32. Be mindful.   To be mindful, is the practice of focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting where you are without judgment.   It is currently being examined scientifically as being a key element to your happiness.
  33. Do your best and forget the rest.  You don’t have to be perfect to be great! However, staying consistent and persistent in your pursuit will help you crush your goals.
  34. Find a new hobby.  Meeting others who have the same thing in common will improve your confidence and self-esteem. Increasing your social circle can be a very rewarding from both a personal and business perspective. 
  35. Hold yourself accountable. Be consistent, be prepared and be dependable and focus on your solutions.  Take the initiative and go the extra mile to achieve your goals.
  36. Take Dance Lessons. If you want to add some spice with your partner, get more coordinated or just bust a move, take some lessons and make your debut on the dance floor.
  37. Spend time outdoors.  Take time from the fast-paced, technology lifestyle and step outside to enjoy the scents and colorful array of plants right outside your door.  
  38. Face your fears. Face your fears rather than avoiding them. Whatever it is, action is the only thing that brings courage and nets success.
  39. Connect with others.  Being social and engaging with others is the quickest, most efficient way to rein in stress, improve your confidence and gain clarity.
  40. Laugh often.   Laughter is a powerful remedy for stress, pain, and tension. Nothing works faster to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh.
  41. Never skip breakfast. When you eat breakfast it helps to maintain your blood sugar level, it improves your concentration, brings clarity and creates more strength and endurance.
  42. Just Say NO.  Trying to do everything is a one-way ticket to serious stress. Be clear about your limits and stop trying to please everyone all the time.
  43. Change Your Thought Pattern.  Fearful thoughts attract fear and positive thoughts attract success.  It takes as much energy to think positive as it does to think negative.  Instead of expecting the worst expect the BEST.
  44. Quit waiting for the right time.  Quit waiting for things to happen, you need to take action and begin creating.  You have endless possibilities and the world is your playground!
  45. Do Not dwell on scarcity. Learn, think and speak as an abundant person.  Focus on giving more of your time, your love and your listening ear.
  46. Celebrate Your Victories.  Rewards are just a simple praise you give yourself to embrace your accomplishments.  When you recognize yourself, your enthusiasm and performance increases and it brings personal fulfillment.
  47. Slow down and be present.  When you spend time in the moment to  focus on your senses and admire the view, you feel less stress and tense.
  48. Practice self-care.  Do not let your work dictate or define who you are. Master the art of recharging your body to relax and have fun. Everything will get done in due time. 
  49. Focus on positive affirmation. When you practice positive affirmations, you prove you are special, you are enough, you are smart and you are worthy of love.
  50. Be an active listener.  When you are actively listening, you use your own body language and gestures to show you are engaged.  You reflect back on what is being said without holding judgement or advice.
