What does your future self look like? Have you thought about where you want to be 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now? Visualizing where you want to be, who you want to be—seeing yourself living your life to the fullest, in total alignment with your highest self. How are you going to get there?
You have to work towards your future self each day. Your future self is who you decide you are; then you work towards that highest version of yourself every damn day. What does he or she look like, act, where does she live, how does she dress, what is she doing in her career, and start living life today and show up as that version of yourself? How is she feeling? Is she vibrant, laughing, dancing, having fun, gardening, and doing with her spare time? Who is she spending her time with?
In current day life situations, I ask myself what my future self would do in this situation, and it’s been interesting to see the answer. What would my future self do in this situation with this guy who doesn’t really value me? She certainly would not entertain him the way I am doing right now.
As I work toward my next level in my life and business, I have to ask myself, how will I get there? I asked my future self what would she do? She would step up her training, her health routine, meditation, mentorship, and self-development. She would focus on her goal and do everything to get there, and not let anything or anyone stand in her way. Listening to my future self advice, I wake up everyday living that, changing those habits and leveling up to meet my future self.
It can be a very uncomfortable process to push yourself past your limitations in order to reach your highest self, but it is completely worth it. Start by writing a letter to your future self. Write about that time period; write what it would be like, what you have accomplished, and what life is like at that moment.
By working towards your future self each day, it brings hope, optimism for the future. You are not focused on the past. The past is over! It’s wonderful to live in the present moment, and I am a big believer in being present, but as we look forward to our future, you can have a vision that is so strong no one can shake your belief in who you are and where you are going.
People who connect to their future selves regularly live a healthier life; they have a better perspective on where they are headed, they exercise more, they take better care of their health. No matter what age you are, you can connect to your future self, whether that is in your twilight years or just a few years away. The power of connecting to your future self is so rewarding and self-fulfilling. There is a great deal of love, a connection that you feel towards your future self: more kindness, compassion for where you are in life.
My future self and I have had tea together; she’s held me and told me how to get where I wish to go. I’ve looked into her eyes, and she is comforting, happy, full of love, and joy. Focusing on my future self and stepping into her, blending together who I am today with my future self. It’s a very powerful meditation.
You can join this practice into your daily life as often as you like. It’s very fulfilling to look at the future with hope and optimism. There are amazing future self meditations you can listen to and follow along with the story it’s very powerful. When you visualize your goals as if you have already achieved them and your mind doesn’t know whether that is true or not, so if you see it, you can believe it and achieve it. Your future self is waiting for you!
