hello there sometimes you know if you
wake up and you're excited to be alive
you can feel all of the awesome things
waiting for you in the future and you
can't wait to live into them when you
think about the future your heart opens
to welcome it just think of the last
time you fell in love or got accepted to
that job or that school that you so
desperately wanted to be accepted to we
all wish this was the only reality and
life and yet we know it's not all too
often we have the opposite experience as
well we feel terror about the future
when we look into it there's nothing but
things that are going to go wrong and no
way to prevent that just think of the
last time you lost someone you loved or
lost a relationship or got fired you
feel doom you perceive only bad things
ahead of you things you are desperate
not to experience when you think of the
life ahead of you your heart closes the
more objective truth of this universe is
that time does not exist or that is to
say that they coexist simultaneously
past present and future in a kind of
vibrational soup but the minute you are
perceiving linear time you are engaged
in a third dimensional construct when
you look at time in this way it is easy
to think you have no capacity to change
the past or that the future is decided
like fate before you continue with the
rest of this video if you haven't done
so already I highly suggest that you
watch my video on YouTube titled the
future in that video I explained how the
future really works knowing this
information can take you a long way
towards feeling better about the future
at the heart of the fear of the future
is a feeling of utter powerlessness
wanting things that you don't feel like
you can have or not wanting things that
you feel are inevitable so what should
you do if you fear the future step 1
oh my gosh be easy on yourself
nobody has these fears for no reason
whatsoever
it'll just wake up one day with them
they're always the result of past
experiences your fears of the future are
actually fears of the past there is a
reason that a baby does not feel fear in
an airplane when it's going through
turbulence or doesn't fear falling down
stairs
it's because the baby has never
experienced a trauma that causes those
fears think about your own life you
didn't feel romantic relationships until
your first one ended painfully people
who fear the future have experienced
something painful in the past and
usually recently and it is that past
pain which is making them terrorized
that they're going to potentially
experience it again so the first step in
overcoming your fear of the future is to
address the pain not the pain you think
is coming in the future but the pain
that has come in the past that is
causing you to project that into the
future I actually created a process for
this it's called the completion process
so if you're interested in learning this
process you can buy my book that's quite
literally titled the completion process
which details this completely in depth I
also suggest that you watch my video on
YouTube titled meaning the self-destruct
button because it is the meaning we add
to a painful experience that so often
colors our future black step 2 when you
are fear in the future what it means is
you're projecting yourself way way way
too far into the future
into a place where you can't even see
the things that are around you so you
can't understand how what you see in the
future is going to happen if you're the
kind of person who's prone to worry you
try to prevent pain by trying to figure
out everything you can in advance the
problem with this is that you can't see
most of the things that will be
available to you at the time you're
worrying about here's how it works from
your perspective what is going to seem
like coming down into life and sorting
through the problems of your life is
like the universe has a great big puzzle
and you don't know what that puzzle is
supposed to make what picture comes out
of it when you put all the pieces
together because you don't have the box
and the universe keeps giving you these
pieces of the puzzle slowly and
incrementally so it's almost like the
picture of the full puzzle piece doesn't
come into play until you get those new
pieces and put them in the puzzle so
basically what you're doing when you're
worrying about the future and terrified
about it and you can't figure out how
things are going to work out so you can
avoid something that's painful
or get something you want is that you
try to
figure out the puzzle and put it
together before the universe has even
delivered those pieces to you that is
why you feel so powerless from where you
are you project yourself into what needs
to happen but can't figure out how it
can happen because those puzzle pieces
that spell out the how have not yet
arrived for example let's say that we
know we have to move to another country
from where we are we feel like this is
impossible because we do not have some
of the elements that will make this
possible we do not yet see the person
who we will meet or the opportunity we
will be presented with that will make it
possible so if you're feeling hopeless
about the future what it is is you're
trying to arrange this puzzle of your
life without the universe having
delivered you all the pieces of that
puzzle yet so what I want you to do is
to just put the brakes on and make it
about your sense of feeling just a
little bit better right here in the
present moment do what you can from
where you are with what you have and
that really is enough focus on what will
make you feel alive and connected and
good right here and now step 3
sit down and make a list deliberately of
the things you look forward to in the
future this is an amazing antidote for
the feeling of doom and I want you to
write anything on this list big or small
that makes you feel good about moving
forward for example you can write things
as little as eating an avocado toast or
watching a movie today two things as big
as earning a PhD or becoming enlightened
if you have friends or a group of people
it can be super awesome
to collectively create a list like this
you can't imagine how much better other
people make you feel about the future by
enrolling you in their own idea of what
to look forward to step 4 do a
visualization of the future a fear of
the future is really just a fear of an
image that you conjured in your head
nothing more so what does this mean you
can remedy through an image in your head
so what I want you to do is to sit down
as if you're in meditation but
consciously visualize for no more than
eight minutes what your life looks like
two years into the future
if
everything was exactly how you wanted it
I don't want you to do more than two
years because usually more than two
years feels inaccessible and not real to
people so two years into the future who
is there with you in the perfect
scenario where are you what do you feel
like what do you have make this
visualization as realistic as you
possibly can so you're getting really
really involved in it
step 5 acknowledge that you cannot
actually know with 100% accuracy with no
doubt what is going to happen so you
can't know that something terrible will
in fact happen and more than that you
can't know if something bad that happens
doesn't have some sort of element to it
it is a blessing in disguise so look
back at your life at two different
things the first is the times you
thought something horrible would happen
but it didn't and the second is the
times that something bad happened that
actually turned out to be a blessing in
disguise this acknowledgement can
release your conviction that something
bad will happen and thus change the way
you feel and raise your frequency
step 6 recognize that fear of the future
is really just a fear of feeling and not
just the fear of feeling anything a fear
of feeling feelings you've felt before
it isn't the circumstance itself that is
causing you pain that's how that
circumstance makes you feel if you're
afraid of the future you're essentially
saying I can't bear to feel that way and
I think I'll feel that way so I have to
prevent ever feeling that way because we
fear the future based off of what we've
experienced in the past we're really
saying I can't bear to feel that way
ever again it's not about the feelings
you're yet to have it's about the ones
you already had and feel like you
couldn't cope with otherwise you
wouldn't know what to be afraid of ask
yourself how is it okay to feel how
could I cope differently with feeling
the way I'm afraid to feel in case I
feel it again
step 7 imagine that the part of you that
fears the future is not all of you it is
a part of you close your eyes and
visualize this you within you who fears
the future imagine picking up this
fearful self in your arms and loving him
or her caring for him or her and having
conversation with him or her to soothe
their worries meet their needs and let
them know that you will not leave them
you will always be there in charge of
their well-being so they can relax and
just let you handle it this very simple
dis identification exercise can go a
long way for decreasing your fear of the
future in having access to the aspect of
you this not as fearful of the future
that's capable very much so it's moving
forward even with that aspect of you
that is in pain step 8 if you currently
feel doom or if you chronically feel
worried about the future I want you to
watch three of my videos the first one
is titled how to stop worrying
the second how to deal with uncertainty
and the third how to stop expecting the
worst I'm aware that in this video I've
asked you to watch a lot of other videos
which lend themselves to this concept of
feeling better about the future I've
done this for a very important reason
when you're in a state of terror your
body in your brain shut down and so the
likelihood of you being able to sit down
and do an exercise to get yourself out
of fear is let's say more difficult so
what I do know is that if you sit down
and you do nothing more than to just
focus on listening to these videos and
do none of the exercises they suggest it
will increase your frequency and just by
virtue of watching them you will feel
better about the future so don't be
afraid to do that living life at the
mercy of your past pain which is what is
happening if you are fearing the future
is painful it is not a state which I
would wish anyone to experience and
there are many remedies for this many
that I have created even but you should
know that just because you experience
something in the past doesn't mean
you're going to experience it again just
because you've gone through something
painful doesn't mean that same painful
thing awaits you in your future have a
good week
