Each new day is bringing us a choice: to do the things we’ve always done (and if that works-keep doing more of that)… or to do something differently. It’s not sufficient to make this choice one time and expect that now we will be a different person. Change happens in cycles. It’s necessary to keep reminding ourselves who we want to be and who we no longer want to be. Who do I no longer want to be? I heard this question being asked by Joe Dispenza on a podcast and used it as a journaling prompt this morning. Hope you find it as powerful as I did. Happy Journaling. The Future Self concept was life changing for me, way before I even knew there was a name for it. During the darkest times in my life, in my mind’s eye, I could clearly see a version of myself that was very different. That vision kept me going, striving, and not settling. Now I know that I was guided by my Future Self. Reading this book feels more like remembering. It is full of little insights and practical ideas, plus it’s a fun and easy read which makes it a wonderful morning read! Here a few of my favorite lines: *A massive threat to your Future Self is simply that you’re thinking way too small. Multiply your vision 10-times or 100-times larger. You’ll be forced to understand the principles, rules, and strategies of living at a higher level. Instead of working harder, elevate what you think you can do. *In every situation, regardless of what you’ve done in the past, there is always the possibility to do otherwise. There is always potential for conscious choosing. *By seeing your Future Self as different person, you appreciate that this person sees things differently than you now. They care about different things than you do now. *Moving from liking to loving your Future Self is the difference between sacrificing for someone and investing. |
