Reinventing Your Self

Let’s talk about reinventing your self. Refreshing- rejuvenating-starting all over again. A lot of the time people try to focus solely on the new year to reinvent themselves. But today is a brand new day, yes?  This day is a wonderful opportunity to reinvent yourself.

It’s interesting because I just came across a Bible scripture I wanted to share though I know not all of us are Christian here. I do have a Christian background so I just want to share this quick scripture with you.

It’s Ephesians 4:24 of the English Standard Version. It says “and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness”.

Put on the new Self

This tells me that I can reinvent myself! I can put on a new self. Have you ever thought of that before? Did you think that personalities are etched in stone?

I know that I was told throughout psychology once your personality is pretty much set. Yet, in Ephesians says to put on put on the new self!

As we’re on this spiritual journey, so many of us are looking for this divine space within us. We’re so used to the human moving- all the emotions, identities and things that belong to time. The Being is the larger part of that that we’re striving to live from- peace, love and everything unseen.

Put on the new self- this is reinventing your self!

When I’m working with clients I’ve noticed one thing is abundantly clear- we carry a lot of baggage.

Ideas of who we think we are, maybe even thoughts of who we think we could be or should be. But we’re not.

We all have these internal battles about different things- but this! This passage tells me that we can choose!  Just like we can choose to perceive from the movement of our human or the stillness of the Being.

We can either identify with our battles or we can let go of who we think we are and put on the qualities that we want to practice and cultivate within ourselves. Choosing our actions and personas of our self so that we can benefit from the manifestations of those.

There’s an exercise for reinventing your self that I would like to share with you so that you can release your past and not carry it with you year after year. This exercise is so much fun! I enjoy working with my clients in this!

Pick the qualities you want to use while reinventing your Self!

There’s four characters that I would love for you to pick. Pick someone in your current experience.

Right here, right now and this person is alive. You may or may not know this person. This person has a quality you admire- pick one quality from this person that you would like to start manifesting within your own life.

This person is basically a role model- somebody in present day who you want to pick a quality of them. I love to pick the Dalai Lama. His total peaceful presence radiates and  is a quality I would like to manifest in my life.

Take this quality, dress yourself and put it on. Then begin to practice that within your own personality by reinventing your self.

Now pick someone from the past- it could be more recent past. This person is probably not alive anymore but pick someone you look up to from the past.

This person could have a quality of perseverance and never giving up or an attitude of mental clarity and focus.

I love Napoleon Hill so he’ll be my example. Never give up attitude and always keep keep focused on my aim are qualities that I’m going to take on and practice within and manifest within my own experience.

Moreover (and probably the most fun!) pick a quality from a superhero.

This is an imagined fictional person,  but it’s a someone that you identify with and take that quality of that superhero and begin to work on that quality within yourself.

Wonder Woman is all about seeking truth

For me I love Wonder Woman. She has her truth lasso that she’ll put around someone and whatever comes out of their mouth is nothing but the truth.

For me taking on that quality, for the larger part of me, is allowing my being to only see truth which means I have to get sometimes Deni out of the way. Deni’s experiences likes and desires out of the way to sit within the truth of my being.

This is when you connect to your own superpowers. You might not know what those are yet until you sit and marinate with it. Then you begin to discover something deep within you beginning manifest into this wonderful personality that is naturally coming up within you.

So decide right now with reinventing your self and choose not to bring the previous year with you. Your past with you. You are refreshed rejuvenated and reinvented from this point forward not looking back to what happened 5, 10 or even 50 years ago. Decide right now to not take what you’ve already experienced. You are putting on a new self starting today.

You already know that energy. It’s time now to step into the unknown , in order to do that you have to leave anything you think you know at the door. Decide to be reborn every day.

That could mean no longer looking at your past- healing it forgiving it. Give it to your guardians- they’ll take care of it. Know you are supported in writing this new chapter.

One reason I continue to work with my clients through this transformation is because sometimes during this reinvention process you may discover blocks.

I like to call them black boxes. For someone who experiences symptoms of PTSD sometimes the past can dictate the future.  I call them black boxes because you can get to a point that you have a memory or a trigger come up and it’ll prevent you from moving forward. So together we’re going to be able to work on those black boxes and triggers so that you can open up to a space to discover your authenticity and your genius.

So hit the refresh button to
Reinvent Your Self!

You don’t have to bring the past with you anymore. Give yourself permission to let that shit go and let that shift happen.

So this is a wonderful space to bring your awareness into and an amazing opportunity for personal growth. You’ll start to notice a ripple effect of changes with the characteristics of your role models that you’ve chosen.

Sometimes it can be a little daunting to think about these things. If we look outside ourselves and then decide oh I really love this about that person and create that for yourself? You can start to be that for yourself right now.
