Summary

We get so caught up in the surface-level, petty nonsense of our lives that we forget to remember our future.

Tune in this week as I explore this question. Whenever you think about how precious life is, do this exercise to tune in to your future self. Consider what they would want you to spend the next two decades doing, and start.

0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo, episode number 493.
0:09.0	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.
0:18.0	And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brook Castillo.
0:24.0	What's that beautiful friends? I am currently in the most beautiful place in Italy called Posatano.
0:35.0	I'm recording this. Well, it's kind of funny story. I was recording this on my balcony, overlooking the ocean, and the beautiful view.
0:45.0	When someone came out on their patio right next to me, I'm sure we're not amused that I was recording a podcast.
0:51.0	So I have now come back into the hotel room to record it. But we are in Posatano. It is so pretty.
0:57.0	We just went to Serrento before that we went to MikaNos, and we are on our way to Milan for a fashion week.
1:04.0	And then we are going to go to Lake Como. So we're in Europe for about three weeks.
1:09.0	We're working while we're traveling, and just really enjoying the gorgeous weather, the gorgeous people, places, all the amazing things that we're doing right now.
1:21.0	So today I wanted to talk to you about remembering your future.

1:55.0	It was actually super powerful, and I wanted to talk to you about this process, and how important I think it is for all of us to be doing future self work.

2:18.0	I think a lot of people are under the misunderstanding that that would mean that we aren't in the present moment for in the future moment.
2:29.0	And I do want to clarify this, and I know I've clarified it before, but I want to clarify it again.
2:34.0	You can't actually be in the future, and you can't actually be in the past, as you can only be in the present moment.
2:42.0	And so even when you are doing your future self-paced work, time is just a construct, so you are in the present moment generating present emotion.
2:53.0	So your future self work isn't actually work that's taken you out of the present moment.
