How to Embrace the Truth and Reinvent Yourself

Almost everyone finds themselves in a rut occasionally. Sometimes the remedy merely lies in a change of routine, while at other times it calls for a complete reinvention of yourself. It's important to remember when embarking on your personality makeover to embrace the truth and be honest with yourself, as the two are inexorably linked. After you've done that, the path to reinvention, while still difficult, will be clear and attainable.

  Decide what it is you wish to be. Don't be scared to swing for the fences; shed your preconceived notions and self-imposed limitations. Remember, you are simply brainstorming at this point. The key is to be honest with yourself, as you are also assessing what your limitations are at this juncture.

  Prepare to leave your comfort zone. Embracing the truth as a way to reinvention poses challenges that are difficult, but not insurmountable. You already like the idea of change; now it's time to get ready for the speed bumps. To make a new you, do things that you've never done before, be it a career, hobby or dating philosophy. Keep in mind that not everyone may share your enthusiasm for change; you may be questioned or even ridiculed.

  Set goals. You need a specific road map to follow to get to where you want to be in your life. You have a vision, but the road to the new you should be navigated with small steps.For example, if your reinvention is career-based, set a date for when you will quit your current job or find a new one.

  Prioritize your plans. Reinvention is a multifaceted process, and some tasks will take precedence over others. If you are struggling with a break-up, getting a fashion makeover may be on your list of things to do. However, it should not come before coming to terms with what ails you emotionally, and being at peace with yourself.
