If you have ever wanted to change some things about yourself, maybe now is the time to consider it. We see it in the entertainment industry all the time: an entertainer used to look a certain way and behave a certain way in public or while performing. Then, one day, you see them on TV and OMG, what a difference!
The entertainer’s hair has changed, her style of clothing isn’t anything like what she used to wear, and she may even relate to people in a completely new way. She has completely re-invented herself!
You, too, can make such changes and step out in a whole new you!
Follow these steps to bring out your transformation:
1. What is on your fantasy list of changes you want to make?
Let your thoughts and ideas flow and jot them down. What would you change about yourself if you had the power?
2. Focus upon the top 3 things you wish to change.
For the best success, direct your energy to no more than a few things at a time. Circle the top 3 things you want to work on.
- To illustrate, maybe you want to change your hair color and style, reduce your weight by 15 pounds, and wear a more classic style of clothing.
- Perhaps you want to work out to build muscle, discover a new relationship, and develop a deeper interest in your career.
3. Ponder the reasons you wish to make these changes.
Delve deep within to consider why making these changes are important to you. Were you bullied in high school and don’t feel very positive about yourself? Do you believe you can move closer toward the type of life you want if you make the desired changes?
- Perhaps you think you will be happier or more successful when you take steps to become the person you want to be. Giving some thought to the reasons you want to change these aspects of yourself will help you recognize where you want to be heading in life.
4. Design a brief plan for each area you want to change.
Using some of the examples in #2, getting a different hair color and cut is as simple as setting an appointment and going to the hairdresser. Losing weight will take a wee bit more thought and effort. What will you do to get started on your plan now?
- You might cut out soft drinks and fattening desserts and have breakfasts of yogurt and fruit or scrambled egg with a piece of toast.
- Doing a wardrobe overhaul costs money. Plan to obtain clothing you want little by little. Consult fashion websites to learn about styles and basic wardrobe pieces.
5. Take “before” pictures.
Photos will motivate you to continue your efforts.
6. Explore how you feel about beginning to work toward the changes.
Do you feel positive, confident, and pleased that you are finally going to “do something?” You might be experiencing doubt or hesitancy to get started. What makes you feel that way? This step is integral to your capacity to continue your path of self-re-invention.
- Connect with your feelings to be successful in creating a new you. If you have serious doubts or even fear about taking steps toward what you want to be in life, consider consulting a life coach or counselor to help you move forward in your quest.
7. Put your plans into action.
If all systems are “go,” move forward without delay.
8. Notice the subtle changes that you achieve along the way.
Develop ways to reinforce your efforts to successfully alter the aspects you wish to change. Take a few pictures of yourself as you notice changes and display them where you can view them for motivation. After all, you are doing what you set out to do—re-inventing yourself!!
Creating a new and improved you can be a very exciting time in your life. Embrace this phase of life with all you have got. After all, you are most certainly worth it!
