Did you know you are your own best mentor? Yes, your future self has all of your answers. Just imagine who you are in your future and then ask your future self questions.
Get to know your future self with a few questions:
What are you like? What have you created? What is your life like? What has come into your life? What have you let go of? Describe your day-to-day life- what do you do on your days off, and what do your workdays look like? What trips have you booked or taken? How do you feel about yourself? What thoughts are you thinking, and how do those thoughts feel?
It might be helpful to start with what you know. If you’re interested in “meeting” your future business self, start with the Life’s Intention that is most meaningful for you. Perhaps to be a contributor to your community or to be a well-respected professional. Then, imagine what you are doing 5 or 10 years from now. What are you wearing? Who are you meeting? How do you answer the age-old question: what do you do? What are your children doing? Where are you living? What does your kitchen or your office look like?
At some point, you will feel a shift. You can actually see yourself doing the things you are imagining. It will feel like more than just randomly making up stuff. It will begin to feel more real. “Yes, I can see myself doing that. Yes, that would be amazing to do. Yep, this is becoming more clear.”
The more details and specificity, the better.
So, now that you have met your future self start asking questions from where you are now. How did I get there? Should I take this opportunity or not? What is the best way to go about doing this?
Just ask your future self & see what comes up. You truly can be your own best mentor; you just have to know how.
