WEBVTT - Second Cup: Where will you be next year?

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>tip is to become more intentional about your time by

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.639
<v Speaker 1>thinking about what you would like life to look like

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>at this time next year. I always love those best

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Year lists that come out in the last

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>few weeks of December, and I love using this time

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>to reflect on the past twelve months. Twenty nineteen has

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>brought all kinds of wonderful things to my life. Like

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I hope that as you reflect on the

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.599
<v Speaker 1>last twelve months, you also have much to be grateful for.

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>But as you're thinking of the past, I find it's

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>helpful to spend a little bit of time thinking about

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the future too. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, but most

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>likely twelve months from now, you will be reflecting on

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>another year come and gone. So take a few moments

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>today amid any New Year's festivities, to picture future you.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's say future you is quite happy with life. He

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>or she is in a celebratory mood, and this is

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>partly because future you has successfully dealt with whatever is

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>weighing on current you. Right now, Think about how you

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>might tell this story of your current problems with their

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>happy resolutions. Maybe current you is feeling overwhelmed with work,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but future you on New Year's Eve next year is

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 1>feeling far more in control. Why is that, Well, maybe

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you hired a great new assistant, Or maybe you raised

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.559
<v Speaker 1>your rates and moved on from clients who weren't worth

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>your time. Maybe you got a different job. I have

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>no idea how you resolved this particular situation, but if

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you picture the story you might tell, you can start

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to see potential solutions that you can work on now.

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>You can also start to plan in what will become

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the year's highlights. Maybe future you is happy because he

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>or she is more energetic than current you. Why is

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>future you so energetic? Maybe it's thanks to those twice

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>weekly early morning workouts that you've done consistently. As you

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>picture your future self reaping the rewards of your choices,

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you become more motivated to talk with your family members

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>or tweak your work schedule to make those workouts a reality. Now.

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>In any case, one way or another, time will pass.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>The new year is starting now, but eventually it will end.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>As all years have ended. Most likely you will be

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>looking back on your life. Twelve months from now. Those

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>twelve months will be filled with something, but right now

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>they are completely blank. What they are filled with is

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>up to you. So what will fill this time? If

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you were to really feel like popping the champagne quirks

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>next New Year's what would you have done in this time?

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Picture this a happy future you and you can spend

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the next twelve months helping to make this a reality.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.000
