Being Future Me

This week, I've been sitting in the fear of whether or not to book a photoshoot.

I've been wanting one for my brand for ages, but the last one I did was a. freaking. disaster.

When I got the photos back I cried.

They were so different from the beautiful photos on the photographer's Instagram that I actually googled him to see if he was a scam, just uploading other people's images, pretending they were his.

Turns out he was legit, he just didn't put in much effort into my shoot

I was super gutted.

It put me off wanting to invest in myself again.

But I wish I had. I wish I’d gotten straight back up on the horse.

I should have booked a new shoot immediately.

I was taking action from my current self. The one who was scared it would turn out badly again. So I didn’t.

But the only way to get from A to B is to BE the person at B right now.

This is what I'm working on every single day with my mindset: taking action from what my future, more successful self would do.

So today I bit the bullet I and paid for the shoot. Even though I’m scared. Because future me would do it.

And I want to be her SO bad.

Start making decisions from your future self, and one day you’ll wake up and realize you have everything you ever wanted.
