A profound tool that I use to help myself and coaching clients find clarity and inner peace is the “future self” method. This is the part of you, your “future self,” who is no longer stuck, struggling, or frustrated with life. Future YOU knows that there is nothing to fret about, and things will work out and everything turns out great.
When I was suffering from depression and corporate burnout, I used the future self method by asking myself in my darkest hour, “What would my future self do?” “What message does my future self have for me?” I did the same exercise when I was suffering from body shame and eating disorders. Both times my future self came back with “loving guidance and wisdom.”
It’s time to visit your future self, and future YOU has a clear message for you. Yes, that is right, your future self is always guiding you and giving you support. So the next time you feel stuck and overwhelmed by life situations, ask yourself, “What would my future self do? What message does future me want to give me?”

I hope you enjoy today’s video filmed in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. After you watch, tell me what message your future self has for you. Leave it in the comments.
