Today, we're going to talk about how to use visualization to motivate you to create the life that you want.
Share
00:44
Now let me ask you a question, does your future excite you? And be honest with me, does it actually excite you? Is there a part of it that maybe scares you? Is there a part of it that maybe gives you some anxiety? Is there a part of it that maybe holds you back? Do you have some fears? Some limiting beliefs that pop up whenever you start to think about your future?
Share
01:02
Because today we're going to talk about how to use your future to give you the energy that you want today to go out and actually create that? So if you're not as driven as a person as you want to be, if you're not as motivated, if you don't feel like you're as hard working as you want to be if maybe you're a little bit lazy, this is gonna be a great episode for you.
Share
01:24
Because I get asked questions like this all the time and there are questions like, "hey, how do I motivate myself", or "I'm so lazy, how do I actually start to work hard? ", you know How do I stop being lazy? How do I make myself become a harder worker? How can I stop worrying about the future? How can I get past myself limiting beliefs? How can I get past myself sabotage. I get these questions all the time, and I'm gonna actually explain to you why you feel that way and why that's actually the worst thing towards you, trying to create the future that you want.
Share
01:56
It's not really hard, it's, it's, this is not difficult, but I'm gonna teach you, okay, what future are you imagining? That's the question that I have for you, is what future are you imagining?
Share
02:07
I'll give you an example, I helped coaches that are, you know, life coaches, fitness coaches, wellness coaches, nutrition coaches, anyone that's a coach, the structure of a coaching business is all the same, whatever they teach, whatever makes it different. But I help coaches build online coaching businesses and one of the things that I hear sometimes, you know, I've helped over 1000 people grow their businesses and lots of these people deal with the same problems that any other person does grow a business, you know.
Share
02:33
Like we usually, the problem with growing a business is not the actual business itself, It's our mindset of actually taking action and growing the business. So sometimes someone will come in, and they need to take action, but they're like, I'm not taking the action that I need to, I'm not really sure. I can't get myself to do it. And then I asked him, why I'm like, well why aren't you taking the action? And they'll explain, you know, stuff like, "oh, you know, I'm feeling, I'm feeling anxious", okay, cool, What are you feeling anxious around?
Share
03:00
And they'll say, oh, I'm feeling anxious around. You know, there's a lot of different examples that people have that they also have another businesses too. It's all the same. "I'm feeling anxious that like what if I sign a client and I don't help them change" or "you know what if, what if I get onto an enrollment call with the perfect prospect, and they say no to me".
Share
03:19
So I'm afraid of being rejected basically what they're saying, or they're saying I'm scared of being judged, you know, if I put up a motivational Instagram real or Instagram story, I'm afraid of my mom judging me or my friends judging me or my coworkers judging me, I'm afraid of being rejected, I'm afraid of other people's opinions, I'm worried about growing and having to build a team and hiring people and what if that doesn't work out and what I have to fire them.
Share
03:45
And what happens is this is what's crazy about the whole thing, is that they're basically visualizing a future that they don't want. What if this, you know what if, what did I say, a few different things. What if I sign somebody, don't help them change? What if someone says no to me? What if I get judged on Instagram, what if I have to build a team, and they have to hire people and fire people on myself.
Share
04:06
So they're basically envisioning the future that they don't want and then this is super important for you guys to understand. Like everything, you can think of, I've heard in some sort of way, I've told over 1000 coaches, and I've heard it all. And let me be honest with you, here's the thing, let me tell you why those circumstances are the way that they are, and it's so hard when someone's in that situation for them to motivate themselves.
Share
04:30
So if you're out there, and it's hard for you to motivate yourself if you find yourself being lazy, and you find yourself being anxious or fearful or get limiting beliefs that are in your way, in some sort of way. Here's the key to it is you, and I've never heard somebody talk about this before, but it's super important for you to understand this.
Share
04:46
You draw energy from the future that you imagine good or bad, so you draw energy from the future that you imagine. Here's what's so crazy about humans, okay, we are so good at building a future in our mind, like we're so good at building a future in our mind, we can see it so clearly that we can trick our body into believing that we're in that moment.
Share
05:12
And so if we're worried about somebody, you know, judging us, we can actually feel the feelings of a fake future in our current reality right now, that makes us feel like we're being judged and so why is it hard to motivate ourselves into a future? Is because you're envisioning a shitty future and feeling the feelings in this current moment of that shitty future.
Share
05:32
Yeah, that's not motivating at all, doesn't make sense? You're literally pulling and drawing energy into your current moment from a future that doesn't exist because you're so good at envisioning and creating a future that you're creating a future that is not the one that you want. No wonder why it's so hard to motivate yourself because you're feeling the feelings inside of your body right now, as if you actually had that future come to reality.
Share
05:57
Here's the thing I find about people. People tend to envision and think about what they don't want more than they think about what they do want.
Share
06:06
So yeah, it's hard to motivate yourself, yeah, it's hard not to be lazy because why would I want to work towards a future that looks like shit, right? Like if I'm envisioning a crappy future, why would I work hard towards a future that doesn't look like it's fun for me, and you see what I mean?
Share
06:23
And so the thing about it is that if you worry about the future, and it's not the future that you want, then of course you're going to worry about it. If you worry about future, I mean 85% of what humans worry about never happened in the first place. That's the important thing, psychologists have found that 85% of what you worry about does not happen at all.
Share
06:43
So that's the first thing. But if you worry about the future, it's not because the future is something to worry about because there's no immediate threat, like there's no threat right now.
Share
06:53
And so if you're worrying about, you know, let's say you have a business, and you're worried about somebody returning your product, right, they're not actually returning your product in this moment right now, they're returning it in a future that isn't real, that you're literally making up, but you're feeling the feelings right now, this is crazy, isn't it? You're feeling the feelings right now of the order being returned as if it was actually happening.
Share
07:22
So literally what you're doing is it's because you're able to put yourself in that future and feel what it would feel like if it actually happened? And so no wonder why it's hard to motivate yourself because you're envisioning a future that you don't want.
Share
07:39
So if you're anxious about something that's in the future, it's because you're able to imagine it so well that your body in this moment is able to create the chemicals that your body would make if it actually happened.

Now you have to realize you are a powerful being, all of us are very powerful beings, and you're also very creative and so if you're imagining futures that you don't want, and it's making you anxious, even if you're not like, you know, take building a business out of it, I hear so many people that have children, and they literally ruin beautiful moments with their children.
Share
10:38
Like I've heard people be like, you know what, I've been in the middle of watching my child sleep, and it's the most beautiful thing, "I think, oh my God, I love you so much. This is amazing". And then immediately the thought comes into my head is "what if I ever lost you? " and they take this beautiful moment and fuck it up completely because they're literally imagining what if they lost your child.
Share
10:58
Which is then creating the chemicals inside of their body, they would feel had that actually happened to them, and then they start to worry, and then they start to worry and then start to worry, and then it literally changes the way that they take action or don't take action throughout the day.
Share
11:09
So why do we do this? First off, whenever I think of things that humans do, like I always take a step back and be like, what is the reason why this is built into our brains because it has to have some sort of positive, it had to have been positive at some point in time in the past.
Share
11:26
And so the way I think of it is, it's most likely a protection mechanism that kept our ancestors alive, you know, imagine if you're back 100,000 years ago, and you're thinking about walking outside of a cave at night, you know, you're in your cave or your caveman in your cave woman, your cave babies, and your cave dogs and all that stuff that you guys had in there.
Share
11:43
And you imagine yourself walking out of the cave and the immediate thought is getting attacked by a lion that you don't see, right? And you feel that fear of being attacked by that lion inside of your body. So you decided to stay in the cave? Well that's a beneficial thing because you live to see another day.
Share
12:00
So does it serve us now? Well, yes, it does serve us now if you use it the correct way. And this is the thing, is that most people don't know this exists. I've never heard anybody talk about this before, but I've worked with people many times and actually change the way that they feel in this moment, based off of changing the future that they're imagining for themselves, right?
Share
12:19
And so how does it serve us now? And how can we use it? Well, does it serve us when we're trying to live to our full potential? It can, and it cannot, depending on which one you're imagining. You know, you have to realize the solution of it is if you can draw energy from the future, whatever that future that you're imagining, why don't you draw energy from the future that you want?
Share
12:41
Right? Like, why don't you draw energy from the future that it is the future that you actually want? And this is another piece of the whole manifestation stuff of how to manifest and visualize and law of attraction to get what you want. How would I draw energy from the actual future that I want to create? What if you visualized everything that you want in detail every single morning, and you draw energy from that?
Share
13:03
So therefore, instead of feeling worried or fearful, or you know, having some sort of issue of like, I don't know if I can do this for self limiting beliefs and self sabotage, what if you were to envision the future that you actually truly want and draw energy from that? Like, what would it look like to have that future? What would it feel like to have that future?
Share
13:22
How proud of yourself would you be if you created that future, you know, to go out there and change your life to change your family's life, to change other people's life to whatever it is you're you're trying to envision, what would it feel like to actually be in that moment.
Share
13:37
The same way that you're envisioning being in that moment when somebody, you know, something tragic happens to your child and that's causing you, you know, problems right now in the current moment, the chemicals and the worry and all that stuff that's going to your body.
Share
13:50
The same way that you can envision that? Why don't you envision like pure joy and bliss and ecstasy of creating an amazing life and having all of this happiness and love and peace and joy in your future and actually start to feel like pull from that future and feel those feelings in this moment to motivate you to work towards what is that you want?
Share
14:10
You can pull energy from the future that you want into your body right now. So why don't you start pulling from the future that you want instead of future that you don't want? Why do you continue to pull energy from the future that you want?
Share
14:25
The things that worry you, the fears that you have, the things that make you anxious? The all of that, just to me, sounds like torture. And so I'm so curious all the time. Like why, when I started thinking about stuff like, why do people literally torture themselves?
Share
14:41
Because years and years and years ago, like 12, 13 years ago, I started learning about how to actually visualize and how to use this and it's kind of become second nature where I'm like, I don't even think about what I don't want because it's a waste of my fucking time.
Share
14:53
It's a waste of my energy and it's a waste of the chemicals that are going through my body. I'm going to focus on what it is that I do want. So therefore it gives me motivation and drive to actually go and work towards that thing.
Share
15:03
I want to pull energy from the future that excites me, I don't want to pull energy from the future that makes me anxious, I don't want to pull energy from the future it makes me sad, I don't want to pull energy from the future that worries the ship out of me. I want to pull energy from a future that is so freaking exciting that it literally gets me off my asked that I can work towards it.
Share
15:20
There's no laziness at that point in time, it's like I want that future so bad, I'm going to work for it really hard. So you pull energy from the future that you do want, it becomes easy to motivate yourself, so instead of having to feel like you have to push yourself to work. Like do you feel like sometimes you have to push yourself, like force yourself to do whatever is you need to do?
Share
15:41
I felt that way many times my first business that I ran into the ground, I felt like I had to force everything. So instead of having to push yourself to work, What happens is you actually start to feel pulled by the future that you want, you start to feel pulled by the future that you, that seems so amazing because these feelings, these chemicals serotonin and dopamine are inside of your body, like I'm going to go create that future.
Share
16:06
Most people think that they don't want to think of what they don't want instead of what they do want. And so we're not taught this in school, You were never taught this, I was ever taught this. Your Children will not be taught this by school. So it's something that you can teach to them and most people don't know it, they don't know that you can draw energy from the future that you want.
Share
16:25
I've never heard people speak about this before, but when I sit down with somebody and I can see the reason why they're anxious or sad or worried is because they're envisioning a future that doesn't exist, they're envisioning a future that they don't want.
Share
16:37
I can sit with them and actually start to change their idea of what could the future be and you can literally hear their voice change, you can hear their see their body posture change, you can see the way they start to talk with their body, they're more you know, expressive and everything that they do, and it's like ah you see your body just got energy from the future that you want because you had no energy when you were thinking about the future that you didn't want.
Share
16:59
And so what you wanna do is you want to figure out the way to build a future that is so exciting to you, that literally it makes it so easy to work towards it. So that you can pull energy from the future as you want. If you start to notice that you're feeling bad, and I'm like "God I don't feel good, I don't feel motivated, feel worried, anxious", whatever sad, whatever it is.
Share
17:16
Ask yourself, what am I visualizing? What am I envisioning in the future? That's giving me these feelings and what can I change my visualization to be to draw energy from that future instead because what you visualize will give you energy in this present moment.
Share
17:32
