Reinvent yourself week one
Who are you now?
'It is never too late to be what you might have been.' George Eliot
Look at you
Over the next six weeks, I want you to take a good look at yourself. My plan is to push you to be the best-possible version of yourself, not someone different, just you at your shiny, refined, polished, perfected best.
It gets better! You can even decide to take on new qualities, characteristics and an enhanced, spruced-up demeanour of your choice. Over the years I've coached people to move from dithering to decisive, jaded to dynamic, victim to victorious.
Life can take it out of you. It's easy to get coated with layers of resignation, cynicism, and self-doubt. It all adds up to a dampening of your spirit, vibrancy and optimism, a shutting down of what's possible for you. I want to slough off those layers, so you see yourself anew. But before we even think about that, we need to make room to throw off what may be stale or no longer useful.
Look within
Truly successful reinvention comes from digging deep into yourself and pulling out old beliefs and attitudes that restrict you and prevent you fulfilling your potential.
Take a look at yourself. What do you see? Are you entirely happy with what you've become? It would be very easy to answer questions like these if we were talking about your body. You could tell me instantly whether you had 'let yourself go', or had neglected yourself. But we're looking at the person you've become and are turning into. That's more unusual. It's a vital conversation to have. You could slip into being someone you wouldn't find attractive or interesting without even noticing!
