Welcome to the stage of EXorcise. At this point, you are ready to release the demons of your past and let go of your EX for good!!
I have a close friend, Ray, who gave me some amazing advice.. He said, "OK, Margaret! Quit crying, bitching and moaning!! Approach your life as if you were producing a Broadway show."
Identify the Lead Character.
Hint…that would be YOU!
Describe the Leading Lady.
What does she look like, what’s in her wardrobe? What are her values? Say out loud five words that describe that person. My words were “loving, creative, sexy, intelligent and passionate”.
Start Rehearsals
Every day do one thing that supports each value of importance to the lead actress. For example, express intelligence by reading something new, express creativity by learning a skill.
Define a New Look
As the lead actress you will need a sexy new haircut, new wardrobe - a revamped image! This forces you to take a look in the mirror (full length by the way – no cheating!!). You may have been tempted to do a dramatic makeover in an earlier stage of EX, but you are most ready, physically and emotionally to do it in the Exorcise stage. Check out our favorite clothes, stylists, and plastic surgeons around the world.
Decide on Your Supporting Cast and Those People You are Going to Lean On.
Be selective – “A- List” friends only. This is hard and takes time. It does not involve your ex! (and no, you can’t just be “friends”!). You’ve probably exhausted your friends by now, so why not join a Woman’s Group, attend a workshop or find new friends in the Forum Section.
