Do you know the situation when you make a list of promises: learn a language, lose weight, find a dream job, but none of this happens? Psychologists and enlightened people tell us: we are the masters of our destiny and we need to act, and not wait for a miracle. But how often do we miss a magic pendel to start fulfilling our dreams? This very pendel can be called motivation.
We invite you to get acquainted with an interesting technique for planning the future, where the main motive of your actions is clearly voiced: everything that you do, you do for your future self.
1. Provide a picture of your realistic future.
Do not dwell on dreams and fantasies, but do not fall into the abyss of pessimism. Try to imagine the future as realistic by answering the question: what will life be like if you lead exactly the same way of life as you do now?
2. Remember that you will be 10 years older.
And that you will have 10 years less to live. Don't be upset, this is the reality. It must be remembered that there will be even less time for changes, and there are more problems that usually accompany a person at a certain age.
3. Remember that problems tend to grow and accumulate.
For example, if fights are common in your family, it’s silly to expect your marriage to be perfect one day with a wave of the magic wand. Resentment will accumulate, the nervous system will weaken. If now you periodically have a stomach ache after a heavy meal, without a proper diet in 10 years the pain will visit you more often and will become stronger. Keep this in mind when imagining your realistic future.
4. Now imagine a picture of the desired future.
For convenience, you can write everything down on paper. Divide the sheet into areas of life that are important to you: health, family, career, finances, self-development, recognition. Think about what you need to do to get what you want. Remember that there will be no result without action, so stick to the basic principles for modeling your future.
5. Choose a long-term investment, not momentary pleasures.
What do you think is better: lying on the couch with chips now or a healthy stomach and good physical shape in 10 years? Spend time and energy playing with children or cold relationships and rare meetings when they grow up? The actions that we do should be of benefit to us in the future, so that later we do not torment ourselves with the question: why did I not do this?
6. Choose the path that's right for you.
Analyze your vision of the future carefully. It is important to feel your values and aspirations, and not try to prove something to others. Do you really want a country house by the sea or are you satisfied with your apartment in the city? Do you need to become the head of a large company or do you like a small business that you have dreamed of since childhood? Give yourself an honest answer so that your actions are not in vain.
7. Look for the most effective and suitable ways for you, prioritize
Inspirational examples are great. But remember that each of us has our own path. If you are concerned with the health of your body, but you feel discomfort from going to an expensive gym, try other methods. Which is right for you: running through the evening streets, wrestling or swimming?
Look for your path that will bring you maximum benefit in the future.
8. Do not expect instant results, but remember that if you quit everything, they will never be.
Your actions will not go unnoticed, they will definitely bear fruit. Maybe hard work will lead you to promotion only after a couple of years, and the recognition of your creative successes will overtake you only after 10 years. In any case, if you do nothing, a miracle will not happen.
