Muse Letters | 10 Steps for Re-Inventing Yourself

10 Steps for Re-Inventing Yourself 
MAKE A DIFFERENCE–JOIN the “RE-INVENTION EVOLUTION!”

Ten Creative Steps for Boomers Ready to Re-Invent Themselves
  • Are you an emptynester?
  • Close to retiring?
  • Wondering what to do next in your life?
  • Wanting to make a difference?
  • Longing to find your passion?
  • Still want to make an income but with more fulfillment, meaning, and joy? 
You are not alone! Baby Boomers are going through an evolution! Rich with wisdom, knowledge, skills, and life experience we want to make a difference by doing what we are passionate about, while contributing to the younger generation and the planet!  Are you in?

Recently I received an email from a dear friend of mine named Doreen. She was writing to tell her women friends how happy and fulfilled she is after following her passion and how she is now living her dream come true! I heard the joy in her voice and my heart leapt with excitement for her!

When I asked what had changed and how she got to her newfound happiness, it turns out that it all stemmed from being willing to take steps to change her and her husband’s lifestyle due to difficult financial changes in their lives. Their son was off to college and her mom needed their help. Her joy came from accepting being uncomfortable and being willing to change and do something different!

Doreen and her husband have moved to a smaller, more affordable town outside of the San Francisco Bay Area where she is working now in a field she has always wanted to be involved in. In the past, she would check into things, but not move forward. Doreen says, “I am passionate about this work and have wanted to volunteer in the area of domestic violence for a long time, never really finding the right place or time for me. Well, I have now! I feel that the universe is definitely leading me along, and opening doors left and right! I am having so much fun going along for the ride!”

Now they are furnishing some of the apartments they own for transitional housing for women who want to get back on their feet, and Doreen feels like it’s a dream come true. She says, “I am so grateful for this time in my life!”

Doreen and Michael are great examples of Boomers re-inventing themselves -making passionate choices in times of change.

In a culture where changes are happening faster than ever, and change is the only real constant there is…

Here is a list of 10 Creative Qualities needed to RE-INVENT YOURSELF!

  1. WILLINGNESS!!
  2. Acceptance of what is
  3. Committed to growth and change
  4. Know yourself and what you are passionate about
  5. Differentiate or die (what are your unique gifts and talents?)
  6. Resilience
  7. Invest in yourself if you need to build new skills
  8. Experimentation and adaption to change
  9. A Mind Set that adapts to change, stays positive,
  10. Belief, trust, & faith
Look at the list and check the ones that you are strong in. Then choose one that you want to grow and develop. Brainstorm a list of ways you can do this, starting with one small step a day. Put your step in front of you on a sticky note, on your calendar, in your car.

If you need support, feel free to email me or call me at 707-251-5570 and I’ll be happy to help you find that first small step.

If you have a breakthrough, ah-hah, or win, please write me so I can share it with all our wonderful community!!
