DESIGN YOUR FUTURE ACTIONS.

“All accomplishment is the result of ignoring the past. Don’t care about the bad things someone said to you or did to you. It’s not important at all. Create what you want.”

Do you feel unclear, unsure, unfocused… directionless even? There are no guarantees that life will turn out the way you want… but you have a better chance of it turning out how you want if you know how to design your own life.

Do you feel you put everyone else’s needs and wants before your own? That you’ve been living so long with a constant to-do list racing through your mind, you can’t remember how it feels to think clearly? Maybe you feel like you’re not accomplishing anything – not to the standard you know you’re capable of. Your life looks good on paper, but – if you’re totally honest – you sometimes wonder how you’ve ended up feeling so flat and unfulfilled. 

You know you want more, but you aren’t clear on what needs to change or how to go about it. How would it feel to have clarity on what matters to you most? To be clear on what you want and to feel confident in what needs to change and how to move forwards; to feel there is limitless potential; that you’re fully supported to achieve whatever you want?If this sounds good, then my new programme, Design Your Future could be for you.

One of the favorite tools psychologists use to overcome procrastination is called a “commitment device.” Commitment devices can help you stop procrastinating by designing your future actions ahead of time.

“It’s tough not to jump ahead. Of course we want to know what the end result of our actions will be – what it will net us.”

But when we focus our attention on what’s up ahead,  we lose focus of the things we’re doing right now: the things we do have control over and that we can tweak and change if we choose to.

Why choose to focus on a point in time that does not yet exist? Especially knowing that nothing is static: things are constantly changing and evolving.The way you communicate with your audience and how you run your business in this very moment in time will have to shift as unexpected changes come your way.

Start today creating a vision for yourself, your life, and your career. Bounce back from adversity and create what you want, rebuild and rebrand. Tell yourself it’s possible along the way, have patience, and maintain peace with yourself during the process.Focusing on the present can be tough, and just like everything else in life, we have to actively be practicing it in order to become better at it.

If you want to become a better writer, you must write more. If you want to become a better teacher, you must teach more. If you want to become a better coach, you must coach more. You get the idea.So how do we practice focusing on the present so that it becomes a habit for us?

How do we practice focusing on the present so that we can achieve the results we want most in the future?

If you waste your time worrying about what the results of your actions might be in 6 months, then you’ll miss out on the actions you could be taking right now in order to improve whatever it is you’re working on.Seems pretty silly at its core, doesn’t it? Remember, the only way to start creating your future is through the actions you take today.

The future only exists in your head.

You create your future in your brain.

You can either create your future from your past or you can create your future from your future.

Growing up, we’re all very future focused: go to school, then go to college, then get a job, then get married, then have kids.

Then what? Maybe retirement?

This is where we become past focused and start talking about the “good old days”.

This is what kills your future.

Instead of falling into this trap, you can create an entirely new and different future from your future.

You can design your next year so it’s your dream year.
