116. Imagining Your Future Self in Times of Uncertainty
Friday, 12 September, 2025
The other day I was cleaning up old files on my computer and stumbled across a video from April 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic. In that conversation, a friend shared how she wanted to launch her coaching practice but felt paralyzed by fear. She told me she’d wait until the world felt safer and more predictable before taking action. At the time that sounded logical, but five years later I realized how familiar that thought still feels. Life is uncertain, and it’s easy to believe we should put our dreams on hold until conditions improve. In this episode, I share why that kind of thinking comes from the lower mind, the part of us that tries to keep us safe by predicting danger, and how we can shift into the higher mind, where imagination and choice create new possibilities. You’ll hear how to connect with your future self, why visualization is such a powerful tool for shaping your life, and what small decisions you can make today that bring your future self closer. Show Highlights Connect the idea of fear to the lower mind and notice when it’s keeping you stuck. Shift into the higher mind by choosing thoughts that support the life you want. Use visualization to rehearse qualities like calm, resilience, and capability. Anchor your identity in who you want to become instead of reacting to circumstances. Write a letter from your future self to make that version of you feel real and reachable. Make small daily choices that align with your future self, even when uncomfortable. Act as if your future self already exists by practicing her qualities right now.
