Reinventingourselvesduringholidays

Reinventing yourself is about tapping the inner and outer resources of strength, and to get yourself doing things with principles, disciplines, practices to achieve ultimate goals.

This year, I am staying in London for the Christmas holiday. Enchanted by its metropolitan charm and enriched cultural heritage, I tried to follow many ancestors’ footsteps, go further, discover deeper, explore the city and the world with anthropological touch points and philosophical insight. What shall we do for the Christmas season to improve our professional maturity?

Recharge ourselves to be open-minded:
Allow our own self-awareness to discover, learn and apply the life lessons to discover the true spirit of Christmas; carve out time to reflect on what, and how we have been doing lately. Our mind is not cluttered. We are free, with an inner feeling, positive emotions, excellence by choices. We are using our unique talent, doing something we are proud of.

The open and forward-looking mind is the very driver to learn, grow and change. Forward- thinking people do not restrict themselves to conventional wisdom, they have foresight with a proactive and predictive understanding of cause and effect, not reactive response; they become more creative to come up with alternative paths or solutions..

Be self-aware to pursue authenticity: Discover who we are in the holidays. When we are authentic, our mind keeps flowing, releasing positive energy. Self-reflection is important for the recognition of one’s strength and weakness, cognitive ability, and style, intellectual engagement, creative problem-solving. Out of this comes a beautiful thing, the freedom of choice and plenty of thoughts and quotes.

Being authentic means being true to that in every aspect: thinking, saying and doing, ensuring that your voice and actions are in synchronization by combined action, endurance, and with the right spirit. Real thinking occurs when we are authentic, look for inner understanding of our journey in order to find a way to contribute something of value,

Reinventing oneself with resilience
: Christmas is the season actually we should devote more time to understanding self and others. We all have suffering moments; tests and trials expose one’s character for who we really are. A person with resilience lives in a grounded place, being flexible and adaptable in the midst of adversity, threat, and stress.

The amount you learn is closely related to the amount of risk we take, resilience is about a bounce. Resilience refers to a personal attribute which enables people to press on and persevere despite difficult circumstances. Just like those plants growing in the gardens I visited recently; a tree is still recognizably a tree even if it's all crooked to get adequate light or soil; and we could be recognizably "us" even if we adapt to a difficult situation. It takes time to know what needs to change in your perspective so you can choose actions in line with your own life force and career flow.

The Christmas spirit is about kindness, love and peace, etc. We can choose to lead and to live with kindness and insight. Each of us could make a contribution to make a better world. Reinventing yourself is about tapping the inner and outer resources of strength, and to get yourself doing things with principles, disciplines, practices to achieve ultimate goals.
