#265 In this episode, we explore an alternative to traditional goal setting: the Future Self planning process. This approach encourages you to connect with your deepest desires and envision the life you truly want. This becomes the starting point for your action planning process.
We delve into the five key steps:
- Envision the possibilities: Explore your dreams, contributions, values, potential, and legacy;
- Create an environment for growth: Cultivate a supportive environment that fosters your goals;
- Focus on your area of influence: Shift your focus from outcomes to effort and controllable actions;
- Create Future Self habits. Develop daily habits that align with your vision and support your long-term intentions; and
- Reflect and adjust: Regularly review your progress, celebrate your wins, and make necessary adjustments to your plan.
Get ready to release the resolutions and embrace a more meaningful and sustainable approach to your well-being, growth and happiness.
