Re-Create and Celebrate – 7 Steps to Turn Your Dream Into Reality was written by Cindy Georgakas. She is the creative and fun force from the blog Unique Times https://uniquelyfitblog.com/

Cindy is an experienced multi- talented individual in the health and wellness area. She is a certified life coach, as well as being certified in Yoga, massage therapy, Reiki, among many others.

One look at her blog gives you an idea of what a dynamo she is. I am in awe of all she accomplishes while taking care of her family, including elder parents; and being there for her clients and community. And not to mention, helping out with the two sweetest additions to her family – her two adorable grandkids.

She has put a lot work on this book; it is a work of love and it shows. In this book Cindy invites one to look inwards and work through seven steps to achieve their best life. These are the seven steps:

1. Finding the true you
2. Finding your purpose
3. Finding your want and why
4. Plan of action – Reaching your goals
5. Loving yourself
6. Processing feelings
7. Falling off the wagon, burnout and support

Yes, it does require some work. It requires commitment and honesty in completing each step. She reminds us that there are no shortcuts.

To me it was a big reminder to stop being so comfortable in life and get moving towards being the best that I can be. I have a great life, but am I fully aware and involved in growing and becoming better? Of course not. There is always room for growth.

Cindy Is not preachy in delivering her message. Throughout the book she shares her own struggles and hardships, and how she overcame them – and still does.  Problems will show up, it is how we handle them that makes the difference.

Each step for me was a reminder of the work that I need to do. The two parts that I keep going back to are:
1. Page 86 – Having a morning routine. I get up and go, always grateful, but always on the run. I know I need to improve that, and Cindy does a great job of giving me ideas.
2. Page 139 – Change your words and change your mind. It is all about making sure that our inner voice is always reflecting our gratitude and love for ourselves.

Cindy’s book is an invitation to create the life we want while celebrating the life we have.  I am accepting that invitation, and so should you!

“Words can illuminate your spirit, or kick you to the curb. What are your inner voices doing to you? Start noticing what words you say to yourself, and then ask where they came from. Perhaps they are old tapes you heard growing up. – Cindy Georgakas
