How to recognize it's time to reinvent yourself

Have you found yourself thinking any of these thoughts lately?

• I feel stuck (in my job, my relationship, my old habits, you name it)
• I'm not satisfied with (again my job, my relationship or lack of one, my whole dang life...)
• I know there's something MORE out there for me
• I don't know how to take the first step (there are just too many choices)
• I don't feel like my life has a PURPOSE

If you answered YES to one or more of these, then you my friend are a prime candidate for a LIFE REINVENTION. The word reinvention means to change something so much that it appears to be entirely new and you can do this at any time and with any part or ALL of your life.

Sounds a bit scary, doesn't it? Good!! If there's one big lesson I've learned in my life it's that just one the other side of FEAR is something FABULOUS that is just waiting for you.

When you allow your fear to be the driver in your life you stay stuck and small, you let the stories in your head convince you that you can't do it, and year after year you feel yourself giving up a little bit more.

Believe me, I know this to be true because I’ve been there! Stuck in a marriage that was way past its expiration date, stuck in a teaching job that my heart was just not invested in any longer, and stuck in way too many stories in my head about how life was “supposed to be”, about who I was or wasn’t and all the reasons why I couldn’t be living a more satisfying life. Sound familiar?

So how does the process work?
You might have been wondering how I go about helping my clients facilitate life reinvention, so today I thought I'd share with you a little bit about my process. I like to call it the "Reinvention Recipe" because just like a great cookie recipe that you know time and time again it's going to make some damn good cookies, so can this life recipe help you to reinvent yourself as many times and as often as you want to!

Here's what the Recipe includes:

• First, we spend some time finding clarity of your past and present self, and we determine which parts from the past get to move forward with you and which parts are best left behind.
• Then, we head into the super exciting part - building the DREAM and creating your VISION. We look down the road 1, 3, 5, 10 years!
• Next, it's goal setting time. We set BIG, JUICY, SCARY goals - the kind you would probably never set for yourself. And we also map out the small steps you need to take to get there (so it's not scary at all).
• Along this journey, I do my "coachy thing" and give you TONS of support, encouragement, love, and I hold you accountable for crushing those goals.
• Finally, we look back and figure out what really worked for you to facilitate change and those steps become your personal Reinvention Recipe!

Oh, and did I mention that we have a whole lot of fun doing it? 

How about a little testimonial to wrap things up today?

“I started out on the life coaching journey more out of curiosity than anything else. Deep inside I knew I had to make changes to my career and my daily schedule so that I could take care of my physical and mental health. I was feeling burned out, had neglected myself and was just spreading myself too thin. As a business owner and mom to two young kids, I could not imagine a lifestyle that would allow me to flexibly accomplish all my goals and also have enough time for my children and a fluid schedule. 

During our second session, Mary has already uncovered a way to make everything I want come together in perfect balance. She has given me the time and space to really answer the question "Where do I see myself in a year"? and "What makes me the happiest?". We then put together an actionable plan that she held me accountable to at every meeting.

The speed with which everything came together was just unbelievable. Suddenly the goals and dreams that we uncovered just a month ago were becoming a reality right before my eyes. I was baffled to see all those changes happening so naturally! Most importantly I was really happy to have someone in my corner pushing me to dream bigger, to manifest, and to live my best life. 
I am excited to continue into month 6 of coaching and to see what the next few months will bring! So grateful for Mary and her wisdom, kind demeanor and truly having my best interest at heart!
If you have not hired her as a life coach yet - please do yourself a favor and just contact her! You will be pleasantly surprised with the turn your life is going to take!" - Olga
