Hello. If you're new here, my name is Michele and I am a life and success coach utilizing my experience as a certified online business manager to help female entrepreneurs achieve their goals, their visions, their dreams, so they can live a good life and actually have time to enjoy it.
Insert Shock Wave Here
I’m sure this is going to be a real shocker. Our future self is affected by all those little and big decisions that we make. Really, can you think of a decision that will not impact your future self? Who you will be in the future? Who do you aspire to become in the future?
My vision board has a future self that is fit, healthy, and happy. That has influenced my decision to begin a 40-Day Sugar Fast, 30-Day Yoga Challenge, get my life coaching certification and join a weekly bible study.
My vision board has a future self that weaves her knowledge and experience as an online business manager into a life and success coach for online mom entrepreneurs. She has a strong desire to help other moms to find the balance of running an online business while having time to live “the good life” with her family.
That dang voice
When that dang voice in my head tells me to write a blog post and record a YouTube about a topic that is completely outside of my comfort zone that means sharing from my uncomfortable zone it is with my future self in mind. Because she knows that I’ve done the self-coaching to get past all the mind drama that has kept her fearful in business.
It reminds me of the Albert Einstein quote “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
I think the same principle applies to decision-making. When we make decisions based on the person we are at that current moment, it may not have the best interest of our future self in mind.
In fact, it has the potential to keep your future self in the same place that you are today.
That’s scary in my eyes. Thinking back to the person I was starting my business. No way she would have the courage to write a blog post to share her true thoughts due to fear of judgment.
Instead of going outward, but turning inward when making decisions with a knowing that my future self understands that living “the good life” is having belief in my decision making.
Decision-making can feel hard or it can feel easy. We each get to choose our own path with that. I feel it’s hard when I spend hours being wishy-washy with my decisions. I feel it is easy when I make the decision while keeping how it will affect the future, in mind.
