Do Something Today That Your Future Self Will Thank You For.

“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

How often have you heard that question? Or been asked that question for that matter?

What is your answer? The answer unique to you and your vision for the future. Not the generic “I just want to be happy, I guess” answer, but the deeply thought-over and decided answer.

Do you want to be known as the 'go to' person in your niche? Do you want to be seen as a thought leader for your industry ? What is the legacy you are hoping to build ?

No matter how high you set the bar for your goals, a positive mindset and determination will be an essential part of what will help you get there ! Along with the right outlook on your own ability.

Believe in yourself and what you can achieve

This is not a tired old mantra from hyped-up motivational videos. It is a powerful tool with which you can turn a negative outlook into a positive one. Choosing to be optimistic about the possibility of each day, will soon see you converting negative thinking into exciting positive actions. Even when you are fearful of tackling something new in your business, a positive attitude will work with you, to find the right solution.

Spend time with positive people

There is no benefit to spending time with people who will only drag you down and drain your energy. Once you have chosen to be optimistic and excited about what each new day might hold for your business, you need to surround yourself with people who are on the same wavelength as you. We are the sum total of the 5 people we spend most of our time with.

Write down 5 affirmations that work for you

Keep the door open for positive flow, write down affirmations you can relate to and keep them close by every day. Remind yourself that you are worthy of success, that you are more than your self-limiting beliefs and that nothing can stand in your way of becoming all you were meant to be.

Write a letter to your future self

Every positive and self-affirming action you take today, your future self will thank you for! Start making your fantastic future a reality by writing a letter to the person you know you’ll be in five years’ time. Make the letter as descriptive and exciting as possible and remember to congratulate yourself on all your hard work paying off and all of the wonderful goals you’ve achieved.

You attract what you are

You may have heard the saying “you attract what you want.” The far more accurate version of this is “you attract what you are.” If you want to excel, you can and will and inturn you will attract like minded people who will cheer you on along the way.

This is your time and your journey. Enjoy the ride!

Some practical ways to stay positive! I was away hiking for the weekend with a group, and I thought if just all the people were like this one very positive person, then these hikes would be so much fun!

Thanks for sharing Lesley Thomas That’s a thought provoking question and not an easy one to answer for many busy professionals. I agree that surrounding oneself with positive people is a great place to start
