Are you currently wishing for something better than what you have right now? If you don't feel satisfied with your life, if you're feeling like there's something more for you, and you're always trying to figure out what the next big thing is – listen to this episode.

Because future tripping is one of the most miserable trips you can go on. As I mentioned in the episode on Tuesday with Michelle Rios, achievers (like me and Michelle...and possibly you?) tend to find ourselves constantly seeking, striving, and wanting for the next best thing. This can lead us to being incredibly determined and motivated people – and to people who are never satisfied with the life they're living.

The big life secret every future tripper is looking for is to simply allow yourself to feel the powerful magic that is in your life right now.  I


Listen to this episode to learn:

  • Why actively loving your life right now (even if you don't feel like you love it) is the ticket to the future you want
  • How to start having fun, even in a job you hate
  • Why your enthusiasm is your superpower, and how to use it
  • How to really feel into the present moment so you can magnetize more joyful moments into your life

My two affirmations from this episode (feel free to steal them!):

  • When I choose the fun, the fun chooses me
  • Money flows to me easily when I’m having fun

Your homework:
As mentioned in the episode, I would love to hear what fun thing you saw, did, or experience(d) today. Send me a voice note, 60 seconds or less, about it on Instagram @untetheredjen or via email [email protected]
