Now we've been exploring ways in which you can permanently eliminate self-limiting beliefs
from your mind. Now self-limiting beliefs are our inner glass ceiling
that sabotage our success and get in the way of us achieving
our true potential. The great news is that
there are many techniques that you can use to permanently transform self-limiting beliefs.
I'd like to share with you a fantastic exercise that I never was truly able to appreciate
until I was well past the gauntlet of a really intense deadline I was trying to meet. And
that was trying to sell my house and everything in it within a three month time period in
order to achieve my dream of location independence.
So the practice goes like this. It involves connecting with your future self. Now, it
involves having to have an open mind. This practice tends to resonate best with people
that believe in multiple dimensions, quantum mechanics and the power of a subconscious
mind. So even if it does appear kind of far out to you I invite you to have an open mind
because trying it certainly won't hurt and if it works, obviously the more power to you.
Step one: Imagine your future self embodying all the qualities
that you wish to embody
having achieved the goals that you presently wish to achieve. Get really clear on this
vision of who you are, who you're surrounded by, what are you doing? How does it feel to
be this future self just further along in the time-space continuum from where you are
now. Most importantly how does it feel?
Step number two. Give this future self a name.
So for me back then in the summer of 2012
I called that future vision of myself Location Independent Lorna.
A powerful extension of this practice is to work
with several versions of the future you each of which represent
a different milestone in your path to achieving your life purpose.
Step number three. Believe this person is real and truly exists.
The more you believe that this future you is in fact truly existing
just a little further along the time-space
continuum the more likely you'll actually become this person.
Step number four. Establish a daily conversation with this future you.
So when I was going through my intense process of trying to sell
my stuff and everything that I owned, I would
converse with Lifestyle Design Lorna who had beaconed to me from white sand beaches with
a chilly mango smoothie in hand saying "gosh, I know it sucks to be you right now but it's
so much better here on the other side, and you're going to join me real soon so keep
your chin up, girl!" Some ways in which you can establish a conversation with this future
you is to ask him or her questions. Ask what they would do if you were in this situation
now or if you have some kind of challenge or question to resolve, connect with your
future you and ask them what you should do.
Finally, the last step is when you achieve your status of becoming
that future self, remember to look back upon your past self
and continue to send your past self love and
compassion. That will further strengthen the bond between your future self, your present
self, and your past self along the time-space continuum making your goal more and more likely
to be achieved with success.
So there you have it. I invite you to try this practice out and have a great time while
you're doing it. Now if you enjoyed this video, I would love to invite you to share it with
