Future You
This week I’ve gathered together with two girlfriends and fellow life coaches in Naples, FL. It had been two years since we’d all been back as a trio. We had no real agenda but knew we wanted to work on a few things throughout the week. The topic we felt most drawn to was listening to and completing a “Future You” meditation and worksheet that I had previously done in one of my sacred circles. I loved it so much I wanted to share the experience.
The goal of the meditation was to visualize and manifest the future you in all areas of your life. It’s the idea that you can bring anything you want in, through your beliefs and thoughts, which are so powerful. I’m inviting you to try this exercise on your own by going within, being quiet then listening and visualizing what you want in your life.
We looked at each area one by one and journaled on the future vision we had for our lives.
Your body - How do you want to look and feel in your future body? Do you picture yourself in certain clothes or the feeling you get when you rise each morning? How do you want to fuel or exercise your body? Envision your body from head to toe.
Your home/location - Picture what your future home looks like. Perhaps the size, location, design, feel, and style. Is it filled with special treasures? Imagine every room in detail. Describe your surroundings, the town, the size, the location and how you want to feel.
Romance - What does your future romantic relationship look and feel like? Is it filled with passion, kindness, excitement, laughter or togetherness? You get to choose every aspect of your future vision.
Relationships - Who do you surround yourself with? What does your inner or sacred circle look and feel like? Do you feel supported, seen and respected?
Abundance - How abundant is your life? Describe what abundance looks like to you? It could be financial, personal or any area of your life. What does being abundant mean to the future you?
Career/work - How does the future you earn a living? Do you travel, work from home, commute to a beautiful office, or a combination? What work brings the future you joy and fulfillment? Or maybe you’re no longer working and living out another dream.
A day in the life - What does a typical day look like for the future you? How do you spend your time? What are your ceremonies and self-care practices? How do your care for your mind, body and soul? Who are you spending it with?
Your legacy - What do you want your legacy to be? What gems have you offered the world? What do you want to share with others?
After we finished the meditation and journaling, we decided to share our future visions once we arrived at the beach later that morning. We had still been talking when I looked up and saw a hawk fly by the vaulted window. Then I saw another, and another, and another….they kept coming. It was so unbelievable we ran outside and saw at least 100 hawks flying overhead as if they were meant to be seen by us. It was crazy! I’ve never seen such a thing in my life. Hawks, usually solitary birds, but on this day it felt like a miracle of sorts. Something or someone was trying to get our attention.
It felt like we were receiving a sign that we were on the right path to our transformational journey. A feeling and sense of connection to the Divine. A knowing. Later at the beach, while sharing our earlier meditation and journaling work, one of the other coaches spotted a smiley face in the sky. WHAT? Holy cow, it felt like another sign meant just for us. Then, right before we left, came a sign the third coach noticed. The time was 1:11, an angel number that indicates your dreams are being manifested. SHUT-UP! You can’t make this stuff up!
We’ve mapped out our future you, and we’re excited to watch them unfold. I’m curious if you’ll create a future you vision for yourself. Dig deep, trust and then be prepared to be dazzled. Because you were destined for greatness through trusting, believing, and then allowing.
