Interview Your Future Self: An Imaginative Exercise to Shape Your Destiny

What if you could have a conversation with yourself in the future? Not just any conversation, but one that could potentially alter the trajectory of your life towards greater success and fulfillment. This is the power of envisioning and speaking with your future self.  By engaging in this imaginative exercise, you can tap into the wisdom of the person you aspire to be, drawing on the principles of the law of attraction and the power of positive thinking.

Why Interview Your Future Self?

We become what we think about most of the time and the clarity of your vision is critical. Interviewing your future self helps to clarify your long-term goals and the aspects of life that hold the most value to you. It’s a powerful exercise that aligns your present actions with your ultimate life goals, ensuring that your daily behaviors and thoughts are conducive to your deepest desires.

Preparing for the Interview

Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. A calm and collected mind is most receptive to deep insights. You might want to start with visualization or meditations to center your thoughts and energies on the future you wish to communicate with.

Crafting Your Questions

Prepare questions that not only seek advice but also probe into the decisions and mindset of your successful future self. Consider these categories:

1. Achievements:

   • What are the greatest achievements you have accomplished?

   • How did you maintain your focus and vibration to manifest these successes?

   • What goals have you accomplished that once seemed impossible or unlikely?

2. Happiness:

   • What has been your key to maintaining happiness and fulfillment? What activities or commitments have brought you the most joy and fulfillment?

   • What have been the happiest moments of your life?

3. Regrets:

   • Looking back, is there anything you wish you had done differently?  Is there anything you wish you had realized or acted on sooner?

   • What setbacks did you face, and how did you use the law of attraction to overcome them?

   • Are there opportunities you regret not pursuing?

     
     

4. Wisdom:

   • What are the most important lessons you’ve learned about the power of the mind? What are the most valuable lessons you’ve learned over the years?

   • What advice would you give me to navigate the challenges that lie ahead?

5. Reflections on Values:

   • How have your thoughts and attitudes evolved to support your goals? How have your values changed over time, and why?

   • What values have guided your decisions and actions?

     
     

Conducting the Interview

With your questions ready, imagine sitting down with your future self—perhaps visualizing a specific setting like a favorite cafe or a peaceful park. Ask your questions sincerely, and then pause to listen to the answers. Allow your intuition and your deeper knowledge of yourself to guide the responses. Write these down as if you were transcribing a real interview.

Analyzing the Insights

After the interview, review your responses. Reflect on the following:

• Identify patterns or recurring themes in the advice.

• Assess how your current life aligns with the insights provided.

• What changes might you consider making in your life to align more closely with the vision your future self has shared?

  
  

Taking Action

Based on the insights from your interview, identify actionable steps you can take to start living more congruently with your future self’s guidance. Whether it’s pursuing new opportunities, shifting your priorities, or making lifestyle changes, start small but be consistent. Remember, every action you take is a step toward becoming the person you aspire to be.

Conclusion

Interviewing your future self can be a transformative exercise that changes how you view your life and your goals. It helps you understand that the future isn't something that simply happens to you—it's actively shaped by the choices you make today. So, take these lessons to heart, and start crafting the future you truly desire.
