Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is to become more intentional about your time by
Speaker 1: thinking about what you would like life to look like
Speaker 1: at this time next year. I always love those best
Speaker 1: of the Year lists that come out in the last
Speaker 1: few weeks of December, and I love using this time
Speaker 1: to reflect on the past twelve months. Twenty nineteen has
Speaker 1: brought all kinds of wonderful things to my life. Like
Speaker 1: this podcast, I hope that as you reflect on the
Speaker 1: last twelve months, you also have much to be grateful for.
Speaker 1: But as you're thinking of the past, I find it's
Speaker 1: helpful to spend a little bit of time thinking about
Speaker 1: the future too. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, but most
Speaker 1: likely twelve months from now, you will be reflecting on
Speaker 1: another year come and gone. So take a few moments
Speaker 1: today amid any New Year's festivities, to picture future you.
Speaker 1: Let's say future you is quite happy with life. He
Speaker 1: or she is in a celebratory mood, and this is
Speaker 1: partly because future you has successfully dealt with whatever is
Speaker 1: weighing on current you. Right now, Think about how you
Speaker 1: might tell this story of your current problems with their
Speaker 1: happy resolutions. Maybe current you is feeling overwhelmed with work,
Speaker 1: but future you on New Year's Eve next year is
Speaker 1: feeling far more in control. Why is that, Well, maybe
Speaker 1: you hired a great new assistant, Or maybe you raised
Speaker 1: your rates and moved on from clients who weren't worth
Speaker 1: your time. Maybe you got a different job. I have
Speaker 1: no idea how you resolved this particular situation, but if
Speaker 1: you picture the story you might tell, you can start
Speaker 1: to see potential solutions that you can work on now.
Speaker 1: You can also start to plan in what will become
Speaker 1: the year's highlights. Maybe future you is happy because he
Speaker 1: or she is more energetic than current you. Why is
Speaker 1: future you so energetic? Maybe it's thanks to those twice
Speaker 1: weekly early morning workouts that you've done consistently. As you
Speaker 1: picture your future self reaping the rewards of your choices,
Speaker 1: you become more motivated to talk with your family members
Speaker 1: or tweak your work schedule to make those workouts a reality. Now.
Speaker 1: In any case, one way or another, time will pass.
Speaker 1: The new year is starting now, but eventually it will end.
Speaker 1: As all years have ended. Most likely you will be
Speaker 1: looking back on your life. Twelve months from now. Those
Speaker 1: twelve months will be filled with something, but right now
Speaker 1: they are completely blank. What they are filled with is
Speaker 1: up to you. So what will fill this time? If
Speaker 1: you were to really feel like popping the champagne quirks
Speaker 1: next New Year's what would you have done in this time?
Speaker 1: Picture this a happy future you and you can spend
Speaker 1: the next twelve months helping to make this a reality.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and
