Today on Feminine Roadmap Alison Katschkowsky says the perfect time is now to reinvent yourself. Alison wants to empower women to believe that what they want for themselves is possible. No the ship has not sailed for those of us in midlife although we may need to build the ship to sail. The reality is that how we show up today, the tiny decisions we make are creating our future selves. When quarantine hit, Alison lost her business and had to consider what to do next. Her lesson was when things change in an instant, you sometimes need the courage to leap. Her best advice when starting something new? Embrace a beginner’s mindset and utilize your past successes and skills to move forward. We have a lifetime of experiences that give us proof of our ability to learn and do new things so remind yourself that you can learn. You have the ability to figure things out as you go. While fear is very real to us, we get to decide what it means for us and take our power back. She encourages listeners that it will take practice since it may have been a while since we’ve tried something new or different. But stay curious, ask good questions, be open to discomfort and change. Doing hard things is a choice that we get to make but we decide how to define it. The key is to shift the way we think about it. A great question to help is, ‘What can I think or do in this moment that will make things a little easier for me?’ Make up your mind that you will gather the information you need then make a decision and take action. Go ahead and borrow belief from your past successes and apply it to today. If you are facing big changes like a reinvention, this conversation will inspire and empower you to take your next best step. So grab a cuppa something wonderful and have a seat, now is the perfect time! https://www.thealisonk.com
