Reinvent You: Spring Into Being

How do you invent yourself anew? Re-inventing yourself is a courageous act. You're asked to let go of the old, stale beliefs you cling to. Those beliefs about you that tell you you can't change or can't do or be something don't really support you. Why keep them around?

Next, comes the spring-cleaning you perform in your head. You sweep away the cobwebs of doubt and change the musty thinking to make room for new possibilities and new dreams.

We can create the person we want to be, first by the thought or idea. That's the emerging seed. Once we know and have a strong image to go with that idea, we consciously replay the home movie in our heads. This is the movie that supports the new belief and the new you.

You inject yourself with beliefs and thoughts that support the new vision of you. When the outdated thoughts and images appear, replace them as fast as you can with the new image. The new image of you is powerful and reinforcing; always keep it front and center.

Spring into a new being, a new self by first taking charge of your thoughts. Your interests, passions and your dreams are not by chance. They are purposeful and demand to be seen and realized. Honor them dearly and honor you and where you are right now. You may not be close to that new vision of you, yet you deserve to be recognized and valued.

Be persistent and unwavering in the new idea and images of you and in your dreams because there's nothing like belief to bring everything into focus. Don't let doubts dash what you desire. Update them as you update yourself, again and again.
