you, better than ever.

Let go of the old you, CREATE the new you 🩷 

So often I hear people talking about missing the old version of themselves, trying to get back to their old selves, and feeling like they lost themself. They are probably right, they are not like they used to be, and missing part of the old you is okay, but hear this loud and clear - never go backwards! 

Of course there can be qualities of your old self that you bring into the new you, but focusing on the past and trying to get back to who you used to be just isn’t going to work. The fact is you have changed. We are all supposed to change. Every single day we are changing. Channel this change into growth. 

Live life in the present and spend time envisioning your future. Throw out the rearview mirror.

For a long time, I missed the old me. I kept asking myself how I was going to get back to her. Then I realized, there is no ‘getting back to her’. She is gone. She is in the past, and that is okay. I love her and appreciate her. She taught me so much, and parts of her are still inside of me, they actually never left. I realized it is now time to grow into my new self and let the past versions of me stay in the past. 

If you feel stuck, lost, or are trying to find the version of you that once was; know that change is okay, it’s good, and you can create and become anyone you want to be. Take a few minutes today and write a letter to yourself, to the new you, the future you. What does she wear? How does she feel? What is she doing in life? 

Write your letter and tuck it in a safe place that is easy to reach, and reach for your letter often. Read it and remind yourself of this new version of you that you are becoming. Take it step by step, enjoy your journey into this new, better than ever, version of you. 

Channel this change into GROWTH!
