Ep 63: My Future Self

Ep 63: My Future Self

Download Right click and do "save link as"

Today I'm sharing TWO mindsets and THREE strategies to consider as you think about your future self.

Mindset #1: When choosing between things like schools, jobs, where to live etc, there is no "right" or "wrong" per se. It's only "right" or "wrong" if you decide it is. Even if you end up choosing something different later, that doesn't mean it was the wrong decision to begin with. Maybe the experiences you had or the relationships you gained or the timing of things was exactly what you needed then. It's all part of the process. I like to think of life as more "trial-and-error" than "right and wrong."


Mindset #2: The process is the point. We're never really "done," even if we hit a milestone or achieve a goal. There's always going to be another milestone or goal to shoot for. Knowing that the process is the point can help us enjoy what we are doing along the way, rather than waiting for some point in the future to start enjoying our life. 

Also, part of the process of achieving means there will be discomfort. Brook Castillo teaches that discomfort is the "currency of achieving your goals." Are you willing to experience discomfort? It's part of the process.


Strategy #1: Use your imagination to create the life you want to experience. Create in your mind all the parts and pieces, and let your body start to feel the emotional "blueprint" in advance. Don't wait to feel excited or confident or courageous. Use your brain, your imagination, to create it all "spiritually" first, and that will help you create it physically.'

Strategy #2: Get to know your unique skills and abilities, and what "lights you up." What do you secretly think you might be really good at? Is there something you are feeling "called" to do? Is there something that you go to sleep thinking about?

Strategy #3: Give gifts to your future self! ("Thank you, past Michelle, for cleaning the house so I can come home from vacation to a clean space!" or "Thank you, past Michelle, for flossing your teeth regularly!")
