When we don’t really know what we want our future to look like, we often find ourselves just bouncing around from strategy to strategy, from relationship to relationship, experimenting, and not purposefully driving ourselves toward our ideal futures. Today on Relentless Growth, we rediscover a powerful exercise to help us break out of this counterproductive cycle in order to achieve true success. One of our most popular episodes introduced listeners to the Future Self Meditation or Exercise. Tuning in you’ll discover what it means to get into a meditative state and visit with your future self, and how this exercise can provide you with a wealth of clarity on your future and how to get there. If you want to gain real perspective about your motivations and priorities, find calmness about what’s happening in your life, discover the direction you need to grow in next, and reach inside yourself to discover that your most important answers are probably already there waiting for you, get comfortable and listen in! Whether you have done this practice before, or this is your first time, tune in today. Your future self will thank you for it!
