Visualizing The Future Version Of You

 This will give you a clear picture of what you want your life to look and feel like in the new year.  Visualization is almost like having a crystal ball and getting a glimpse into the future.  The future version of you is awaiting.  It’s time to see what exactly that looks like for you. 

Visualize

One of the best ways to visualize the future version of you is through a deep meditation.  Find a quiet place to relax.  Sit down in a chair or cross legged on the floor.  Place one hand on your heart and the other on your stomach.  Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.  Then, imagine yourself in your favorite place in nature.  Look around, take in what you see, smell, hear, and ground your feet.  Off in the distance, you see someone walking towards you, illuminated by a bright light.  You realize this you, but only in the future.  Gather information about your future self.  See the expression on your face, your body stance, and feel the overall energy emitted by your future self.  If your future self were to tell you something, what would you hear?  Spend a few moments gathering data about your future self and when you’re ready, come back to your present body by wiggling your toes and fingers.  Open your eyes and journal about your experience.

Journal

Describe your future self in detail.  Bring future you into crystal clarity.  Write down what you were doing, what were you wearing, where were you, etc.  Jot down any sights, smells, and sounds you heard.  Detail what you felt about your energy and even what you didn’t feel.  Maybe you felt a sense of peace, lightness, happiness, excitement, etc.  Perhaps you didn’t feel like the future you was scared, afraid, embarrassed, nervous, etc.  Think about the emotions and feelings your future you was embodying.

Your Future

Then, get clear on who you are being in the future.  Express how you feel about your life in the future.  Think about if you had any fears, worries, or doubts that come up.  Or better yet, realize why you didn’t.  Maybe you visualized that your success is inevitable and that you’ve achieved your goals.  Perhaps you can see life turns out better than you ever could have imagined.  This is your future visualization so make it the life of your dreams!

Take Action

Next, think about what it would take to get you to that future.  What would get you there?  What would you have to do?  How would you have to show up and take action today?  Think about how you can bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be in the future.  What things can you do now that embody the future version of you?  How does she act?  How can you show up as her today?  Decide what you could do today that your future self would thank you for.

The future version of you is driven and determined to make your dreams a reality.  That all starts by what you do today, right now.  It’s stepping into the future version of you and making that your reality.  Take an honest look at your current routines, habits, environment, relationships, and overall life.  Ask yourself if it reflects the person you want to be or the life you want to be living.  Consider if this is the current path you want to continue to take into the new year.  If not, start making changes today to get you to where you want to be.  Visualize what you want, write it down, and start taking action today to make it your reality.  Use this future visualization to help you look forward with hope, knowing that more growth awaits in the new year.  You have so much greatness in store.

Take Action Challenge:

Step Into The Future You

For the next 3 days, live as your future self - just one step at a time.

Day 1 – Visualize + Capture It

Set a timer for 10 minutes and complete the visualization from this blog.

Then, immediately journal:

• Who is she?

• How does she feel?

• What is she proud of?

Day 2 – Embody Her Energy

Ask yourself: “If I were already her, how would I move through today?”

Then, choose one small action your future self would naturally take.

Day 3 – Bridge The Gap

Identify one habit, routine, or decision that no longer matches your future self and replace it with one aligned action.

Then, start taking that action now!
