Episode 243 - Are You Caring for Your Present Self or Just Chasing Your Future Self?

 
 
 
 
 

In a world obsessed with "future self" visualisation and manifestation, we often forget something really important: to care for the version of us that exists TODAY. So many of us are constantly thinking about our future selves - what she’ll achieve, how she’ll show up, what she’ll create. But what about the version of you that exists right now? The one who’s navigating this season of life and business with all its challenges, needs, and realities?

In this episode, we’re talking about how to balance your future vision with present self-care. Because the success you’re working toward doesn’t just depend on who you’re becoming - it depends on how well you’re taking care of yourself today.

We’ll explore:

  • Why personal development often over-prioritises future self & how that can backfire

  • A real example from a CCBD student of balancing vision with what’s needed today to create income AND maintain well-being 

  • How to recognise when your future-self mindset is pulling you away from what actually feels safe and supportive right now

  • 3 journal prompts to reconnect with the version of you that exists today

  • A special AI prompt (DM me PRESENTSELF on Instagram) to help you identify exactly what your present self needs

If you’ve ever felt like you’re pushing toward success while struggling to sustain the journey, this episode is for you.
