Falling In Love with Your Fabulous Future

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she stops searching the past for meaning and begins imagining the life she is becoming. In this episode of Becoming: Conversations in Elegance & Empowerment, we explore the psychology behind envisioning your future, and why imagining what comes next is one of the brain’s most powerful functions.

Neuroscience shows that imagining the future is not fantasy. In a landmark 2007 paper published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, researchers Daniel Schacter, Donna Rose Addis and Randy Buckner found that remembering the past and imagining the future rely on many of the same neural systems in the brain. In other words, the brain is wired to simulate what has not happened yet.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why future-oriented thinking helps interrupt rumination.
• The psychological concept of “possible selves.”
• \Why daydreaming may actually improve working memory.
• How elegant women move from healing the past to imagining what comes next.
• A simple protocol for aligning your actions with the life you want to create.

If you’ve been doing the inner work this season — grieving,letting go and reclaiming your inner world — envisioning your future is the next step. Not forcing it, but learning to fall in love with it.

Many of the ideas we’re exploring this season are expanded in my newest book Becoming Lavishly Loving where I discuss intuition, emotional boundaries and protecting your inner world with elegance.

For women who are ready to apply this work in real time —not just understand it intellectually — I offer a private Clarity Reset session where we clarify your next steps and align your life with the woman you’re becoming. You can book a Clarity Reset session anytime without an application at BecomingPublishing.com
