Sharon Kaibel Ten Tips for Re-invention.........
Reinvention is a magical word. It’s about keeping the good stuff and adding and creating new stuff that is even better.
Reinvention by definition brings ‘something back into existence or popularity after a period of neglect’ or ‘radically
changing the appearance, form, or presentation of something or somebody’.
How can you bring back into your life those things you value that you’ve neglected or redesign your life to make it
what you really want?
Here are 10 focus areas for reinventing YOU in 2014.
- Reflection: Find time to sit under a tree to ponder and plan. Use the KISS format: What’s working that you want
to Keep; What can you learn from, tweak and Improve; What isn’t working that you need to Stop doing; and What
could you Start doing that is innovative and can make a difference in your world?- Passion: Consider what electrifies and excites you. How can you add more of this to your year? Add dedicated
time for this activity to your calendar now so you can start and stay strong in the year ahead.- Clarity: Think deeply about what you want. Create a hardcopy and online notebook to journal your ideas and
plans for 2014. Good ideas come and go so quickly - make sure you capture them immediately.- Values: What do you want to stand for over the next year? Decide what you will commit to. Use these values to
filter your decisions and resolve issues. If ‘family’ is one of your top values, you’ll make a different decision when
faced with the exciting job that involves a huge travel days away from home to the one made if ‘career
progression’ was top of your list.- Goals: Decide your transformational goal for the year. What do you want to look back on at the end of the year
with pride? My goal last year was to change my home space. We started by renovating our existing home and
finished 2013 by purchasing a new home. ‘Oh, What a Feeling’ to place a big TICK in the box next to these goals.- Actions: What do you want to become known for? Your actions are observed by others and create your
reputation. Create a set of ‘trademark behaviours’ that define you. For example, do you want to be known as the
person who is ‘always interested to check in on how things are going’ or the person who ‘never says hi’?- Focus: How will you maintain focus when things get busy? Determine a strategy in advance to make sure you
don’t get distracted. For my fitness goal, I get my workout gear ready the night before and place my alarm away
from the bed to get me up and out the door early.- Fun and Frivolity: What do you enjoy that you’ve not done in a while? Go to a comedy festival, arrange a winery
tour with friends, set a dinner date with your partner. Arrange things to look forward to doing each month.- Celebration: It’s common to beat ourselves up for what we haven’t done. What will you do to reward yourself for
all the things you do that make a difference to your life or others?- Gratitude: Be grateful for all the wonderful people and the amazing circumstances in your life. We live in a
privileged, abundant world. Stop comparing yourself to others. Take time to look around to see what you do
have. Enjoy and be grateful for being you.
I have GOOD NEWS ... most these 10 focus areas are free (or very low cost) and doable - just get started and see
where it takes you in this Year of the Horse ... I look forward to hearing about your progress.
