Let's begin by settling into stillness.
Gently close down your eyes.
Allow your body to rest wherever you are,
Supported and comfortable.
Allow your shoulders to soften,
Your jaw to release,
Your belly to rise and fall with the breath.
Release tension from your neck,
Your back,
Down your arms and into your hands.
Relaxation travels through your chest and belly,
Into your hips and thighs and knees.
It moves gently through your calves and ankles and into the bottom of your feet.
Let your breath slow and become your anchor.
Take a deep breath in and a long slow breath out.
Again,
Breathe in calm and exhale any tension or tightness.
Let yourself arrive fully in this moment.
Imagine time gently expanding as if you're walking a peaceful path through the stars.
It's a winding,
Slow and natural walk.
You feel safe,
Supported and grounded.
Ahead of you is someone familiar,
Inviting you forward.
Someone that you trust.
Someone who feels like home.
Each step forward,
Feel steady and sure.
You feel a calm curiosity rising within you.
This person ahead is you.
20,
30,
Even 40 years into the future.
A version of you that has lived with purpose,
Who has grown through life's seasons,
Who has become grounded,
Joyful,
Wise and vibrantly alive.
As you move closer,
You notice the energy around them is calm,
Steady,
Full of warmth.
The way they hold themselves is strong,
Open,
Unapologetic.
There's a softness in their face.
It's a deep peace.
A kindness lives in their eyes.
This is your vibrant future self and they welcome you.
They have been waiting for you.
They want to share with you all of the amazing things that you can do and how you can become this version of your true self.
Vividly picture this vibrant future self in all the details that delight you and bring a deep knowledge of who you are and what you want.
This future you builds you up.
It provides words of hope.
It sings words of truth.
It shows you your true inner wisdom and strength.
It demonstrates to you that you can create this vibrant future you by taking little steps forward every day.
This future version of you is going to take you through a day in their life.
Take a slow,
Deep breath and picture the moment that you wake up.
Is sunlight streaming through large windows?
Can you hear birds or waves or the quiet hum of stillness?
What do the sheets feel like?
Are they crisp,
Soft,
Cozy?
Is it a bright,
Open space filled with plants and natural light?
Is it a warm,
Quiet room with cherished books,
Photos,
And gentle music playing?
Are you in a quiet home by the woods or a cottage near the ocean or a vibrant community hub?
Do you stretch and move your body gently before getting out of bed?
Do you step outside barefoot to feel the earth underneath your feet?
Is there time to journal,
To meditate,
To breathe,
Or simply sit in peace?
Is your walk light and easy,
Strong and steady?
Do your joints feel smooth,
Your breath full,
Your balance steady?
Do you go outside for the first morning light?
Do you drink water to hydrate?
Do you dance,
Swim,
Garden,
Cycle,
Or take long walks in nature?
Do you start the day with yoga,
Strength training,
Or walk with a friend?
Do you read,
Reflect,
Write,
Or learn something new?
Is your inner dialogue kind and curious,
Calm,
Clear,
And confident?
Is it supporting of you,
Accepting of your flossomness?
Is it positive?
Are you allowed to make mistakes?
Are you focused and present even during challenges?
What brings you connection and meaning?
Are you laughing over lunch with friends?
Are you playing with grandchildren or mentoring others?
Are you volunteering,
Creating,
Teaching,
Exploring,
Cooking,
Building something beautiful?
What brings you joy?
Is it singing out loud while making dinner?
Is it watching a sunset wrapped in a blanket?
Is it feeling proud of a day well-lived,
Balanced,
Intentional,
And rich with presence?
This version of you is not a fantasy.
It's a window of what's possible when you live with care,
With purpose,
And with belief in your ability to grow.
Let yourself feel it fully.
Let it feel familiar.
Let it feel inevitable.
This life is rooted in the choices that you are making now.
Your future self turns to you and smiles.
They know your struggles.
They've walked through your exact fears and doubts.
They see how hard you are trying.
They want to say something to you.
Listen closely now as they speak.
Thank you for starting.
Thank you for not giving up.
Thank you for showing up when it would have been easier to quit.
They place a hand on your heart and say,
I am proud of you.
You are enough.
You are doing better than you think.
I've got you.
You are safe.
You are loved.
Everything that we have now is because of the small things that you do every day.
Breathe that in.
Let it settle.
You smile back,
Feeling the connection like a golden thread between the two of you.
It is unbreakable.
It is alive.
Your future self knows you need determination to keep going.
And it is always there within you,
Spurring you on with a voice that is loud and cheering you on.
It is there telling you to keep going.
Keep practicing.
Keep striving.
Keep moving forward.
Now ask yourself,
What's the one thing that I can do this day to honor the future I want to live?
Let that answer rise naturally.
Take the time right now to fully understand what your vibrant self wants and what you want to do daily.
The small steps that will create your vibrant future self.
Speak kindly to yourself.
Make mistakes,
Accept that it is a learning process.
Sign up for something that you're interested in doing or learning.
Read that book that you know will expand your understanding of the world.
Listen to the podcast that will teach you something you didn't know.
Walk around the block every morning.
Say yes to rest or no to pressure.
Eat whole foods to nourish your body and brain.
Whatever it is,
It's real.
It's yours.
Feel your heartbeat understand this truth.
Feel your back supported by this truth.
Feel your breath steady and calm as it knows this truth.
You know what you want now.
That you're,
You know your vibrant future self.
You are already on the path to becoming your vibrant future self.
Feel the warmth.
Feel the golden thread of connection.
Feel the steadiness.
Repeat softly in your mind.
I trust myself.
I listen to my own wisdom.
I am supported from within.
There is nothing you cannot do.
Let your body memorize this feeling of understanding,
Of safety,
Of strength.
This is the vibrant future self that leads you now.
As you gently come back into the room,
Know that your vibrant future self walks with you.
Their voice will echo when you pause,
Breathe,
And choose vitality.
Take a deep breath in through the nose and a long slow breath out the mouth.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Bring this feeling of connection,
Calm,
And clarity with you.
Feeling steady,
Feeling empowered,
Feeling clear.
Know that your vibrant future self is with you now every step of the way.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Or if you listen to this recording at night,
Know that you will drift into blissful sleep,
Understanding your connection to your vibrant future self.
