Are You Showing Up For Your Future Self?

What I’m working on right now: Showing up for my future self like she is my number one priority.

I am so grateful to my past self for putting me first. But now it’s time to step it up and consider my future self before I think about what I want right now.

The current ways I’m going above and beyond for my future self:

  • Getting up at 2am (and going to sleep at 6pm) every day for a whole week ahead of my mastermind so I’m fresh and awake (over the time zone “jet lag”) by the time it begins

  • Putting my savings away FIRST (rather than hoping what is left over is enough)

  • Brainstorming ways to make her life easier, including scheduling in time off and reducing the number of hours she works (I heard someone say “Schedule your calendar like you were scheduling it for your best friend.”).

  • Putting in systems and software in my business that are tedious to set up, so it will make her life easier

  • Writing two weeks worth of content in advance so my future self can focus on other things soon, even though my brain wants to give up at every step

  • Be willing to slow down my business growth goals in order to build a strong business, not just a big one (this one has been a hard pill to swallow!).

  • Doing my physiotherapy exercises every day, even when I’ve already gone to bed – and then suddenly remember. I’ve been getting back out of bed to do them because I want my future self to have a body that is pain-free.

What are you doing today to look after your future self?
