I have the capability to make the decision to "Live Life Fully" through reinvention.
5 Steps to Reinvention
1. Create a vision for your future.
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine the people, places, or situations that you need to leave behind. Now imagine the future that you want, whether it’s simply a feeling, a group of people, or a situation such as a wonderful new job.
Imagine how it will feel to be in that new place. Picture the sun coming up behind your future, the warm glow of the light on your face.
Stand for a moment and silently voice your appreciation of everything that came before. Once you’ve thanked the past, turn toward the sun, and with compassion and gratitude, imagine yourself walking away from the past and into the future.
2. Write about your reinvention.
Imagine a scene from it or write about how you’d like it to play out. Where are you living? What do you do in the mornings, afternoon, evenings? Who are your friends? What do you spend your days doing?Continue writing for as long as this exercise feels invigorating and exciting. Write scenes, dialogues, lists, plans. Make the future come alive. Write about how it will feel to be there. Keep your writing somewhere where you will look at it occasionally. Feel free to add to it.
3. Surround yourself with visual reminders of the life you’d like to create.
If it’s a new job in a particular field, put objects or images from that field someplace where you’ll see them every day. If it’s a home, find a picture of a house that you love and put it near your front door. It can be anything that reminds you of what you’re moving toward.4. Now that you have a vision of your future, break it up into workable tasks.
What do you need to do—every day—to create that vision? Look for work? Meet new people? Search for a place to live in your chosen town? Make it specific. Make a list of everything you need to do and a schedule for when you’ll do it. Then do it and commit to keep doing it, one day at a time.5. Every day, go back to that vision of you walking towards your future.
Every morning or evening, close your eyes, and see yourself walking into the rising sun, toward your dreams, and reconnect with why you’re moving toward this new possibility.Reinvention is neither easy nor always smooth. Often we encounter resistance. We don’t want to let go, even of things that cause us pain or that are obviously already out of our grasp. We often struggle with limiting beliefs or stories about ourselves that hold us back from trying new things.
But there is one way to keep your compass pointed to this new life, even in the midst of any resistance or struggles you may encounter on your path.
Each time you find yourself slipping into old habits—isolating yourself, making excuses not to look for work, procrastinating on a task that might help you advance in your career—don’t bother wondering why you’re doing it or beating yourself up.
Just ask yourself this: “What can I do in this moment to keep moving forward?”
Then, no matter what you feel in the moment—lonely, self-critical, tired, lazy, or disappointed—do something to maintain momentum, even if it’s one small thing. There’s an old adage that says that true courage isn’t about not feeling fear; it’s about feeling fear and acting anyway.
Choose courage instead of letting your fear choose your future for you.

Recently, I talked with a woman that couldn't rise above negative circumstances that were clouding her life. I asked her why she didn't just change her focus to the good things happening around her.

Thought: Sitting in a room full of strangers, how do you interact?
A. The confident woman that walks the room and introduces herself with laughter and wit?
B. The miserable woman that sits at a table thinking that it's impossible to fit in and why should you try?
The difference: self esteem
Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
Affirmation:
I continue to be the best me possible ~ I give no consent to being inferior.

Thought: Why
do we love to hang on the past?
The road of life is filled with emotional pot holes. The fights with Mom, the boyfriend break-ups, girlfriends gone wrong, and everyday disappointments that come with hopes and dreams that have gone unfulfilled. The good news: we are in control of how these things effect us. Change the way you look at each situation. Even though it hurts at the time, think of it as a life lesson that has been set before you to teach you about living.
Affirmation: I have the power to direct the play of my life. I choose to study the life lesson, process it for my highest good and let it go!

What did you say?
Thought: Speaking in public can be tricky, just ask a politician these days. The words can be interpreted in many way - depending on the individual(s) you are speaking with. Take for instance, a person that started their day on the positive, she may only see the beauty of her ride into the office and the person that started their day on the negative can only see the potholes, rain, bad drivers etc. Without knowing how each person in your area started their day, we need to be careful how we put our thoughts out in front of everyone ~ especially when it can be taken personally. A sentence like, "this refrigerator is a mess" can be taken as "it's always my burden to clean this box out" or "I'm feeling a bit guilty because I have not cleaned up my stuff in the fridge".
See the difference?
Affirmation: I see people through my heart and do not judge them. It is up to me to filter my thoughts before I speak and filter what I hear so that my spirit can continue to grow in the positive.

Always consult your intuition/ inner guidance
Thought: have you ever been in a situation when you had a hunch that you were doing something that was not for your higher good? For example, the other day I was in a phone store deciding if I wanted to buy a hotspot adapter for my IPad, Laptop etc. Though I was feeling uncertain, I found myself in line to talk with the sales person about purchasing one. It was costly but even more bothering - it was another 2 year contract and my intuition was screaming to walk away. My instincts were so strong that I left the store.
The amazing part: 20 minutes later an employee for the Apple Store showed me that my phone can be tethered and used as a hotspot at a fraction of the price. Intuition/Inner Guidance?
Affirmation: I trust myself and my intuition. All the answers I need to anything in life can be found within me if I ask for guidance and act on it.

Sister? You got your light on?
Thought: Just like everything else, the inner light needs nourishment. The soul's light is fueled by our love of self, life and existence. How do we keep our light bright? Conscious living ~ taking time to meditate, appreciate and activate our inner love of self and the life we live.

Today's Working Woman
Thought: What is it like to be a Woman in the work force today?
The women today seldom stop everything once their paid job is completed for the day. In this
"super-society" the clock actually ticks louder before and after the time card has been punched, i.e.children, community, church, household duties, and maybe a personal maintenance item or two.
Affirmation: I am a beautiful, smart and strong woman ~ I will take care of myself by scheduling ME on the list of things that need taken care of each day.

Thought: Living Life through a child's eyes.
When you're in a room filled with children, ever notice how content they are with the smallest things? The butterfly outside the window, the music coming out of their toy, or the wonderment of mixing colors to create a new picture for the refrigerator?
As adults, we often forget to stop and and marvel at the small things in life. Our thoughts whirling around about the big responsibilities we carry or how we can squeeze in one more phone call to the client that is ever so needy. Always thinking, "I will get to my wants and needs later".
Affirmation: Slowing down is mandatory in my life. It helps me be present when interacting with family, friends and especially me.
I will take the time to admire all the rainbows set in front of me

In order to make it through the natural changes we women go through, we must continue to educate ourselves.
This will make the difference between being locked in or stepping out of the box when it comes to liv
ing life fully.
Whether it's weight gain, uncontrollable anxiety, or loss of interest ~ it can all be conquered though self awareness and education.
Affirmation: I love my life and will live it fully.
