Would my future self-choose this?
That question changed everything.
How many times have I scrolled on social media, seeing women living lives that I know I’m capable of living too? Lives filled with peace, joy, abundance, and alignment. There was a time when I didn’t even have the confidence to look at my reflection in the mirror for fear of what would reflect back to me. The truth was… my future self deserved the life I dreamt about and so does yours.
So how did and do I shift into that version of me? I start by remembering I don’t have to become someone new… I simply must return to who I’ve always been. I practice choosing from the energy of my future self instead of my current mood.
5 Ways I Choose From My Future Self (Not My Current Mood)
1. I Pause and Ask: “What Would My Future Self Do?”
When I feel unmotivated or unsure, I take a breath and ask this simple question. My future self is disciplined, peaceful, radiant, and aligned. She doesn’t procrastinate her joy she chooses it. So, I follow her lead.
2. I Do One Thing That Aligns With My Dream Life Daily
Sometimes it’s as simple as taking a walk with the sun high in the sky, soaking in that vitamin D. Other times, it’s putting in focused work toward my goals. I might listen to lo-fi jazz as I go for a stroll, whether it’s with family, my dog Heart, or just me. That one intentional act shifts my entire energy.
3. I Master the 17-Second Energy Shift
I learned this from Abraham Hicks, and it truly changed my life. I hold a joyful thought for at least 17 seconds… then another… and another. Before I know it, my mood lifts, my energy expands, and I feel aligned. It happens faster than I ever expected and the shift is real.
4. I Anchor Myself in Gratitude
In the middle of a beautiful moment, I pause. I journal. I reflect. I give thanks. I’ve learned that the more grateful I am, the more life gives me to be grateful for. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling; it’s a magnet for more.
5. I Choose to Pivot, Not Stay Stuck
When I feel myself slipping into a negative mood, I don’t sit there anymore. I recognize that I’m still shifting energy just in the wrong direction. So, I pivot. I move my body. I change my thoughts. I sit up straight, shoulders back, chin level. I remind myself: It’s my time.
The Truth About Energy
I’ve experienced both sides.
I know what it feels like when I’m in a low space and everything around me seems to reflect that. But I also know what happens when I intentionally shift into joy, gratitude, and alignment. The world meets me there. Opportunities appear. Beautiful, unexpected moments unfold.
We are always shifting energy.
The question is… in which direction?
