Reinventing your lifestyle sounds like something that you only read about in sub- standard, self-help books that tell you all you need to reinvent your life is to want it. Lifestyle reinvention can be achieved but you will have to do more than want it. It will require some drastic changes but the results could potentially be outstanding.

The first and most important thing to remember is that change is scary, most people do their best to fight change. But if you want to reinvent your life you have to welcome change and embrace it. Change needs to become normal to you in order to succeed.

Next, make a list of the things in your life you want to change. This is the part where you will need to be brutally honest with yourself and accept what you do not like about your life. This can be hard because many people would rather simply not acknowledge that there is a problem. But if you do not admit what the problems are then you will not be able to tackle them. Write down everything that you want to change, and what you will need to do in order to change it, cross each thing off as you achieve it.

Take small steps every day to achieving your goals, at least five things should be done every day to help you reinvent your life. Any less and the whole process will take too long.

Be sensible, don’t quit your job until you have an idea of what you want to do, unless you can afford it. Because if you can’t afford to support yourself then you may end up in a very dire situation.

Think about what you want to do with your life and research everything you can about your chosen field. What do you need to do in order to get into this particular area? Take steps every day to achieve this. Recognise that you will not be able to go straight in at the top of your profession unless you have a wealth of experience.

Determination; you will not get anywhere without it, you will hit hurdles and some days you will want to be lazy, but you can’t be. You need to plod along every single day making a difference to your life because the end result will be so worth it.

If you are single and want a partner then you will not get one watching T.V every night, go to singles events, join websites and get yourself out there. Don’t just jump into a relationship with the first person you meet, this will only leave you feeling negative about yourself.

Reinventing your life can be done but it will take some patience, practise and determination.
