It's time to be who you are meant to be.

How do you separate yourself from the person you were to the person you are now?

Often when we go through traumatic experiences, we’re fundamentally changed. We can no longer see the world the way we once did, for better or for worse. There’s a grieving period that comes with trying to figure out who you are now.

I’ve been through several experiences myself, which I detail in length in my upcoming book Zesty Changes. These five things have helped me to reconcile with my old life vs my new life, whether that’s been from giving up my daughter for adoption, going through divorces, or becoming so sick I almost lost my life.

• Create a daily practice of gratitude.

• Recite daily positive affirmations.

• Get outside and walk noticing what is beautiful.

• Enjoy a get dressed routine, choose colorful, happy clothing.

• Connect with a treasured friend who will let you vent.

You’ll find even more lessons and tips like these in Zesty Changes. I’ll be sharing even more sneak peeks and information very soon, so keep an eye out!
