Future you is waiting
Picture this: It’s early January 2025, and you sit down to write your goals for the year ahead. But it feels too soon—you're still recovering from the holiday rush. So, you tell yourself the first week is a write-off.
Then the second week arrives, and now you're in full-on prep mode: gearing up for the new work year, getting the kids ready for school, or juggling both.
The future is not something that just happens to us—it’s something we create. As women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple roles: caregiver, partner, friend, colleague. But amid everything, how often do we take the time to envision our future selves? And how that version of ourselves would behave today?
The good news is it’s never too early or late to start showing up as your future self. The future version of you—the one who is confident, successful, healthy, financially secure, maintains her boundaries and is living life on her own terms.
Here’s how you get there:
1. Visualise the life you want
Take a moment to really dig deep and think about what you want your future to look like. What career do you want? Where do you want to live? How do you want to dress? What kind of relationships do you nurture? Visualising these aspects of your future will give you a clear picture of the life you’re striving for.
2. Habits and Systems
Your daily habits and the systems you put in place to achieve your goals will determine whether you achieve them or not. Remember what author James Clear said, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Does future you wake up and scroll on social media for hours on end? Or do you wake up, set clear intentions for the day? You choose.
3. Setting Goals
Start setting clear, actionable goals that align with your vision. Whether it’s investing in your career, prioritising your health, or nurturing your relationships, future you would take these steps without hesitation.
4. Take back your power and know your worth
Future you knows her worth and isn't afraid to advocate for herself. She doesn’t downplay her strengths, nor does she apologise for her ambitions. Today, start embracing your own fearless. Speak up when you deserve recognition, take pride in your accomplishments, and refuse to let imposter syndrome hold you back.
4. Make self-care a priority
Selfcare is not just bubble baths and sheet masks (we however highly recommend these) but it’s holistic, taking care of yourself inside and out. Take time to check in on you and figure out how you’re feeling, whether it’s through journaling, going for a walk or speaking to a professional.
5. Take small consistent actions
Start with manageable small actions: create a morning routine that sets you up for success, track your finances, invest in learning something new, or reach out to a mentor. These seemingly small actions compound over time to bring you closer to the future you desire.
6. Celebrate the wins
Remember, future you didn’t get where she is by waiting for the “perfect moment.” She got there by making steady progress, and that’s what you’re doing now. Celebrate every small victory and recognise the fearlessness it takes to go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Future you is waiting
Start showing up as the woman you want to become today. Start making the decisions that will create the future you desire, step into your power, and let your actions align with your goals.
We can’t wait to meet Future You.
