Create a Compelling Vision for the Future
Jan 20, 2023
A lot of life coaching is about creating a compelling vision for the future and stepping into it. Visualizing that future where you’ve already made the changes you’re trying to make now, where you’ve already rewired your brain and your heart for greater equanimity, and where you’ve achieved all your goals that seem insurmountable now. That version of you already knows how to get out of your own way, and claim how you choose to be and what you want.
I often help clients visualize and feel that future version of themselves. That version of you has already made the changes, owns the beach house, or has the dream job. Often, these visions are of futures that are five years out or ten years out. Then the fun begins. We get to play with having that version of you make decisions now, establishing the behaviors or habits necessary to accomplish all those things or become whom you choose to be now.
Of course, the secret to this exercise is that you don’t have to wait. When I work with someone over multiple years, they’ll notice that what was a ten-year vision just took two years to accomplish. The more detailed that compelling vision for the future, the more you get to step into it now. Now isn’t that interesting? You get to create a clear vision for the future and step into it now. Fun, right?
