What my future self tells me

My future self communicates with me all of the time. I listen to her. She knows things. I appreciate her. I love her.

She comes through. Here are things she tells me.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

You're not the same person you were a year ago. You don't tolerate the shit you once tolerated. You have super strong boundaries that you used to not have. You protect your peace and energy at all costs that you neglected before. You're a better you now. Elevated and unmatched.

You always have your own back.

You do something you love every single day.

You get to decide what kind of energy you have in your life.

Listen to your soul. It always knows the way for you.

Live your life for you.

Choose yourself.

Always take care of you first.

Always show up for yourself.

Set your own beauty standards.

Focus on what you can control. Let go of what you can't control.

Everything you do is with intention, mindfulness, and purpose.

You get to decide what is beautiful to you.

You give yourself everything you want and need.

You find out what works for you and disregard the rest.

You never take advice from people living the kind of lives and lifestyles that you don't want.

You don't have anything to prove to anyone but yourself.

You have standards instead of expectations, and you never lower your standards for anyone or anything.

A year from now, you'll tell yourself, "I did it." You'll smile because of how far you've come, and you'll be proud of yourself for all of the progress you've made.

Your opinion of yourself is the only opinion that matters to you. You don't ever let anyone cloud your judgment, determine how you feel, or disrupt your focus.

You get to create the life you want to live.

You can want more while being grateful for what you have. You can accomplish many things and still be a work in progress. There's always room for improvement and growth.

You can become a different person in a few months in the best way. Your potential is limitless.

You are your own muse, inspiration, and guide.

Only you know what's best for you.

You get to know yourself, you’re amazing to yourself, you take care of yourself, and you spend time with yourself because you are the only one who has to live with you forever.

Your boundaries are a form of self-respect.

The things you do every day matter because they all add up. So, you prioritize things, stay focused, put yourself first, and make time for the things that are important to you.

Let your soul guide you always and forever.

You're a powerful Goddess, and you never put up with anyone's shit.

You take actions that support how you want to feel.

No matter what you want to do in life, know that it is possible. There are people out there proving that it's possible, and you'll be one of those people, too.

You have desires you want to accomplish for a reason. You're meant to accomplish those desires and have them.

You stay unbothered and unfuckwithable because you know you can't control what anyone believes, thinks, says, or does, and it's not a reflection of you. You stay focused on yourself without fail.

You're always way better off having no expectations and having high standards.

It's not about when the right time is because there is no right time. You focus on what you want to do, and you do it. The time is now.

Forgiveness isn't necessary for you to move on, continue to grow, and heal.

Getting to know yourself and showing yourself love are two of the most important things you can do in your life every day.

When you feel like giving up, let determination take over. Your determination for the life that you want to live. Your determination for the people and things you want in your life. Your determination for the experiences you want to have in your life.

You're the only one that can change your life.

If something's important to you, you prioritize it in your life. You dedicate time and space for it, no matter how much or how little. You commit to it and make it happen.

Being a dreamer is just as important as being a doer.

You're confident because you took action, and the consistency always gets you there.

Saying, "No" is just as powerful as saying, "Yes." Go with what you feel. Drop the obligatory energy, and hold the desire energy.

Loneliness doesn't have to be a bad thing or a bad experience. If you sit alone with yourself and really feel everything you're feeling, you'll understand what you feel better and know yourself better. That's something to lean into.

It's always fun to have goals and dreams to go for. Make sure you love your reasons for wanting to accomplish your goals and live your dreams though. Stand by that. Savor the process because it's not all about the destination. It's about the feelings and experiences you have.

When you prioritize yourself, your whole world changes in the absolute best way.

Make your boundaries indestructible.

Regret is harder than change.

When you look back, you'll truly see how much you've grown and changed in the best way. Don't ever underestimate yourself, your potential, or your power.

Every day is a chance for you to shine, do whatever the fuck you want, and be yourself. Finding out what it is that you really love and want to do, whether it's one thing, a few, or many, is all up to you. Find the beauty in that, explore, and stay curious.

You're creating the lifestyle that you want to live every day.

Expanding your mind, focusing on things that you love, and paying attention to curiosity changes you forever, and you never want to go back.

Ask yourself what feelings and experiences you want to have. What are you going for? What are you chasing? What do you want to attract? What do you want to make happen? What do you want? Do things every single day to get closer. It's in the doing. You get to do that for yourself.

Your relationship with yourself is the strongest relationship you have in your life because you're the only person you have to live with forever. You have the chance to get to know yourself, to love yourself, and to show up for yourself. Take that chance for you.

You pour all of your love, heart, being, and soul into something you love, but you do all of that for yourself first. You pour all of your love, heart, being, and soul into you first.

Overwhelm can feel heavy, chaotic, and confusing. So, you cut out the noise, you focus on what matters to you, and you take less things at a time, day by day, moment by moment.

Hold on to your belief that things always work out for you. Really believe it. You have a choice, so you might as well truly believe that for yourself. Show up as the person things always work out for. Be the person things always work out for. Shift your perspective for you.

You'll find a way if you want to. Ask yourself questions. Be open. Think differently than everyone else. Put yourself into everything you do. Focus on what it takes. Your attention and your energy are the most valuable, so use them and make the most out of them.

It's ok to love many things, want to do many things, and want to go to many places. It's your life for you to live. Those things that you love that you can't stop thinking about are for you. You don't have to box yourself in, limit yourself, or let anything define you.

A year from now, you'll either be glad about actions you've taken and decisions you've made or you won't be. You can change a lot of things in a year if you want to. Ask yourself what actions and decisions you need to focus on. It's all up to you. It's all on you. Use your power.

You don't need permission, validation, or approval from anyone. Choose yourself, do what feels right for you, and be there for yourself.

Without your health, you have absolutely nothing. Above everything else, take care of you. Prioritize you. Put yourself first. Take care of your mind, body, soul, heart, mental, physical, and emotional health. It's all about the lifestyle you live, and you get to create that.

To grow, evolve, and be your best, you have to let some parts of you go. To change for the better, you have to do the inner work by going within.

A lot can happen in a year, even in 6 months. If it doesn't feel like it can, look at how far you've come, how much you've progressed, and the changes you've made in a year. Where were you at this time last year? What were you doing? How did you feel? See how much you've grown.

Create the type of environment you want for yourself. What does it look like? What does it feel like? What do you love most about it? Really picture and envision it. Imagine what it's like and what you're doing. Surround yourself with pieces of it until you make it your reality.

You are the only one who has the power to change your life in the best way. It all comes down to your mindset, your decisions, and your actions, and you have full control of these. You have to be honest with yourself, and get clear about what you're doing to improve your life.

What you do every day adds up either way, so you might as well figure out what you can do to make things even better.

The one person you need to show up for the most is yourself.

You get to choose. You get to choose where you put your attention, energy, focus, love, and time. Choose yourself. Choose people that are important to you. Choose things that matter to you. You're the only one who gets to decide for you.

Your mind is the most powerful thing you have.

If you really want to meet your potential and really get to know your potential, you can. Keep going.

Aren't you curious about what your full potential is? The only wat you'll know is if you go all in, focus, and go for what you want. Lean into that curiosity all the way and fully explore it for yourself.

You have to know what your priorities are to know what to focus on in your life. Once you know what your priorities are, you make time for them. Let your priorities be indicators of where to put your attention.

Things change you. You could be a completely different person in a year and not even see it coming.

What actions and habits you do every day matter because it all adds up to either what you want and who you want to be or what you don't want and who you don't want to be.

Showing up for yourself is the biggest act of self love you can do.

You can make time for your priorities or you can make time for regret.

When you go deeper into what you love, it changes you in the best way.

There's so many things that can change people and the world for the better, but empathy is the most powerful and determinate factor.

How different would your life be if you made time for things that you want to work on?

Ask yourself what you're doing with your life. That will give you the push you need and get you to start thinking more beneficially for you.

Do what you can with what you have right now. This will get you further than you think it will. It's always better than not taking any action at all.

You can help change the world, but only if you change yourself first.

You'll find a way. You can. You will. Ask yourself what you want. That will always make you find a way to make anything happen in your life that you want to do.

When you put a little bit of effort into planning, things in your life become more effortless. Plan your food, plan your sleeping, plan your workouts, plan your you time, etc. Planning is one of the habits that benefits you the most. You always out get what you put in.

You have to know that you're the only one who can change your life for the best. You have power and control over your own life and what you choose to do with it. Live your life for you.

You already have everything within you that you need to create whatever you want. It all starts there.

She loves me, too.

I know my future self looks at how far I’ve come and she’s proud of me. I let her lead the way for me. Truly, my future self is my own muse, inspiration, and guide.

A work in progress continues.
