Personal reinvention can be a very powerful concept. As a teenager and young adult, I experienced a lot of self-criticism, anxiety, and cycles of self-destruction as I struggled to cope with my feelings and social relationships. I experienced a crucial phase of reinvention after college, in which I overcame bad habits, redefined my identity, and shifted my behavior towards alignment with my true values and ideals. The new year is a great time to envision your best self and chart a new course towards who you want to be! Over time, small steps in the right direction will help you build the life you really want.
