Opis

Cheryl Garrison wrote Re-Invent Yourself after meeting numerous women over 50 who were struggling with the reality of growing older. Career change (including downsizing or layoff), empty nest syndrome, failed retirement, failed business, failed relationships and a lack of confidence in the future are just some of the issues facing women over 50. Cheryl begins the book sharing with the reader her personal journey from a "bold and fearless" 20-year-old to a 50something woman who has been defeated by life-altering changes. Re-Invent Yourself is a working guide that chronicles the steps Chery took to re-vitalize her life. Why do we stop dreaming after 50something? Why do we think we are too old to start a business or run a marathon? This book answers these questions and then provides resources to help women live out their dreams and aspirations. The book is filled with personal experiences and is divided into 5 chapters, each designed to move the reader closer to creating a Re-Invention Plan which is the objective of the book. Know Yourself - Helps the reader answer the question, "Who are You?" and "What do you Want?." Cheryl believes that at the core of many of the problems women over 50 have is a lack of true identify or an identity that has been lost in the years of giving to others and spending very little time taking care of ourselves. The exercises in this chapter lead women through an assessment of their self-esteem right now and gives techniques for helping them find their true identity. Women completing this chapter will also be able to take a hard look at what they are currently accomplishing in their personal and professional life and begin the process of identifying what they desire to be and do. Heal Yourself- How do we overcome the beliefs that have kept us from succeeding? Cheryl carries the reader through extensive exercises that will help them identify the thoughts that have kept them standing in "cement blocks" and then break through to a life of accomplishment. Re-Invent Yourself- Readers are given the tools needed to take the wants they have identified as important to them and create a lifestyle plan for re-invention. The plan includes goal creation, identifying timelines, budgeting, and accountability in order to ensure that goals become a reality. The reader will create long-term, short-term and immediate goals that support their overall plan. Commit Yourself - The final part of Cheryl's re-invention plan is for the reader to be committed to change. Without making the commitment and being open to change, nothing will change. This chapter encourages the reader to get a digital calendar and keep track of daily progress. The next important part of change is getting an accountability partner who will make the journey with the reader. Finally, surrounding oneself with positive affirmations is an important part in creating lasting and sustained change. Cheryl's goal for the reader after they have completed the book is to celebrate a new life just as she has done. She went from near depression to now writing books, creating training programs, coaching and speaking to women over 50 about living a life of passion and purpose.
