4 Birth Months Who Are Overdue For Self-Reinvention
February
You are so focused on serving others, you often lose sight of the moment when things in your life stop serving you. When certain friendships leave you more drained and stressed than comforted and supported. When your hobbies become a chore or and obligation. When your relationships lose that deeper, soulful connection. It’s hard, for someone like you, who strives for consistence, to recognize and admit when you have become a completely different person. When you are ready for a much bigger challenge. When you need more from others, from the world, from yourself. You are Belle, taking the same stroll, through the same village, reading the same damn book. It’s time for you to get the hell out of dodge and try something news, see what sticks, and run with it.
January
You hold yourself back, without even realizing it. The person you’ve been aspiring to become, is who you actually are right now. You just haven’t given yourself permission to start living as your authentic self. You’ve known for a long time you’re finally ready to get rid of all of the clothes you wore a decade ago, and upgrade to something more polished and put together. You’ve developed your own taste, your own preferences, so it’s okay to surround yourself and your space with things that reflect your own unique personality. You’re kidding no one with the generic ‘live, laugh, love’ decor in your apartment. Get yourself an actual piece of art. Something that speaks to you. Something, that when you look at it every day, makes you feel a certain way, makes you feel, alive.
October
Something in your life isn’t working, is throwing everything else out of whack, and instead of trying to force it, maybe the time has come to admit this isn’t a fit, and start looking for the thing that is. The job, the city, the friends, the partner, the hobbies that you don’t have to fight to enjoy. That you don’t have to put on a brave or happy face to get through the day for. You think that if you just work harder, just play nicer you’ll finally fit into your own life, instead of asking whether the thing in question belongs in your life in the first place. Stop trying to convince yourself that bubblegum is the right flavor medicine if you have to choke it down. There’s a million other options out there. Chocolate, coffee, grape, cherry, pineapple. Pick one you like.
December
You take a lot of shit for reinventing yourself. For all the ‘phases’ you went through while growing up. And somewhere along the way, that shame got to you. You lost that courage to keep trying new things, to keep tinkering and iterating with the latest version of yourself, installing the newest upgrades every time they were released. And it’s that stagnation that has been weighing you down. You’re due for some excitement, for a new challenge, for a new love, a new sense of purpose. There is no prize you can win for staying the same, so don’t let anyone convince you there is some inherent value in it. Try something new, something crazy, every day if your heart is in it. Your intuition hasn’t steered you wrong yet.
