Ready to step into a future where you’re thriving in health, wealth, relationships, and spirit? In today’s episode of Next Act Ninjas, your host Rachael Van Pelt guides you through a powerful exercise to connect with your future self; go beyond standard New Year’s resolutions and shallow goals.

Have Fun:

• Reflecting on Your Past: Learn how looking back over the past five years reveals growth, strengths, and areas still in need of attention.
• Assessing Your Present: Get honest about where you stand in your health, finances, relationships, and spiritual life. Are you just managing or actively optimizing?
• Designing Your Future Self: Visualize and emotionalize who you want to become. Dive into the growth-minded thinking that fuels long-term transformation and legacy-building, rather than short-term resolutions.
• Overcoming Cognitive Biases: Uncover the mental barriers that keep you from embracing long-term rewards and relating to your future self.
• Applying Your Tools: Use journaling prompts, letter-writing exercises, and visualization techniques to clarify your future identity and start taking aligned, intentional steps today.
