Whether it's emotions, difficult things or big life decisions, using your ability to imagine what future-you will care about will help you make sense of the now. The next time you are overcome with anger, embarrassment or fear imagine what you will feel and think about whatever it is that's bothering you in...10 hours...10 days...10 years. This rapidly defuses what otherwise might consume you. The next time you're struggling to complete something physically or mentally difficult, imagine how grateful your future self will be about pushing through and completing that thing. When making life decisions, imagine what your future self might think and allow that to influence your decision. Try utilizing your future self!
