Your Future Self Needs You NOW
Too often, we think things like, “I wish I had done that when I was younger…”
But what about now? You are already 10 years younger than your future self. Invest in her today.
That’s the only moment you can truly influence.
Seriously—what would happen if you committed to what you truly want? Instead of constantly reacting to distractions and other people’s expectations...
I believe we can access a higher perspective when we look at life through the eyes of our future self.
I bet you ’d make the most of this moment—especially if you were clear on where you’re headed.
For me, when I connect with my future self:
I feel energized with a sense of purpose
I feel excited and empowered, in control
I feel braver, because I know I can try again and again
I feel more patient with myself, because I know I have time
It helps me prioritize effectively.
It makes me less distracted and more result-oriented.
And best of all? I take ownership of my time and energy.
I’ve learned to say no. I’ve learned to set boundaries.
There’s something about knowing where you’re going that takes the rush out of the equation…
Instead of chasing time, you lay your head on the pillow at night knowing you made progress—or noticing when you're going in circles.
But to truly access this power, you have to believe it’s in your hands to shape your future self.
So… do we have a deal?
You bring a little faith.
I’ll give you the tools.
Let’s start with a few questions to help you connect with what really matters to you—what’s truly worth investing your time in.
Imagine this...
It’s five years from now. We meet at a cozy coffee shop. You look me in the eye and say:
“Tiina, I can’t tell you how aligned I feel with my path. I feel so fulfilled and in tune with who I truly am.”
Now visualize what’s happened in your life:
What are you most proud of?
What does your life look like? (Details matter.)
What do you look like? Has your posture changed? Your style?
Who are you spending time with? What kind of people?
How are you showing up for yourself?
Have your beliefs about yourself shifted?
What was the biggest bridge you had to cross?
Now that you have an image of your future self...
Start being her.
Most of us are taught this pattern:
Once I have (money, degrees, permission…), then I’ll act like it—and finally be the person I want to be.
But the truth is:
You need to become her first.
Start by embodying the energy of your future self.
That energy will attract new possibilities. Your behavior will naturally align as your identity evolves.
So, start now.
Treat yourself the way your future self would.
Say yes only to the things that bring you closer to her.
