Embrace Y'our Future, Today!
Knowing where you are going is the first step towards getting there
Why futurize yourself in this fast changing world
To have a GREAT future where you flourish in the flow of evolution and thrive in a fast-changing world.
Let me ask you a question: Do you want to have a GREAT future?
By “GREAT” I mean a good future where you flourish and thrive, where you are resilient and feel that you are evolving, where your actions matter and transcend your wildest dreams and future generations to come will thank you for.
In all honesty isn't this what we all want at the end of the day?!
But how do you create a GREAT future in this fast-changing and challenging world?
A world where COVID-19, new emerging technologies and other global challenges like climate change are challenging every aspect of our life, including our very survival. Have you ever thought about how will you cope? – knowing that, without a doubt, these changes and challenges will further increase stress levels, when stress is already considered one of the biggest health problems worldwide.
The “how” will depend on what you do today. On the decisions and choices you make and the actions you take.
Yes, you can turn a blind eye to the future (“Que Sera, Sera”) – and leave it all to chance, or you can decide to futurize yourself and envisage the good life and GREAT future you want to create and evolve into, and then systematically and deliberately align your decisions, choices and actions to make that what you truly want into an ongoing reality
Because the good thing about the future – unlike the past – is that it is always in the making and therefore you can influence it. For now…
But time is running out.
As an osteopath, body-centred stress coach and wellbeing futurist, I’m concerned. Concerned about your future and especially how you will cope with all the changes and challenges that lie ahead and which will, without a doubt increase the demands on you while your resources might already be waning and when demands outweigh your resources that is when stress sets in.
When change and challenges increase, so too will your stress levels and can lead to not only physical health problems but also changes in behaviour. Stress makes you less resilient and plays havoc with your health and wellbeing, with your future.
It is forecast that the next 10 years will bring more changes than the past 100 years! I hope you understand why I am concerned. So how will you cope with all these changes and prevent stress from becoming a nuisance to your health and wellbeing and your future?
The solution is very simple: we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
What created most of our current challenges through our focus on the present and present-bias neglecting our long-term future. For thousands of years, short-term thinking has helped us to survive and deal with physical threats. But now that our environment is evolving faster than we are and the threats to our existence have changed, short-termism or the fight and flight response isn’t adequate any more. On the contrary, it has become a source of stress itself.
What will get us out of here is a change of perspective – one where the future is not a continuation of the past but where the past is seen as a teacher, while the future guides your decisions, choices and actions in the present.
So you need to start exploring the future on purpose, create scenarios for the future, imagine what you want and don’t want, and then use these images of the future to change forward to make what you want a reality through your decisions, choices and actions. In other words, you can proactively choose a future before a future is chosen for you and that process I call “Futurizing Yourself”: the conscious act of spending time informing yourself and imagining scenarios for the future, and using these images to “change forward”.
I futurized myself more than 20 years ago when my business was failing and I with it. The full story on how I evolved from a good for nothing to who I am today you find in my book futurize yourself - design your life on purpose.
But books are great but talking to someone is better. I know this fact first hand. I didn’t futurize myself by myself I had help and now I’m offering my experience to help you.
Today, with the world changing with an unseen speed and scope I want to help you to futurize yourself to be able to adapt, be resilient, be there for your family and friends and make the most of the opportunities that this fast-changing world has to offer.
How I will do that is through meaningful conversations with you in my practice or online. By sharing with you all to tools needed to create a new narrative for your future and for you to come into your full potential.
For more information get in touch and make sure you download the free documents I’ve prepared for you
I hope to speak to you soon and in the meanwhile; be good to you, be good to y’our future, always.
