We’ve all heard it before: “Make decisions as your future self.”

Sounds powerful, right? Except… most of us picture that future version as someone with more time, energy, money, support, and clarity than we currently have.

So we start building systems, goals, and expectations for her—and forget that she only exists because of the decisions we make today.

That’s where I started looking at it differently.

The Reframe: Make Decisions for Your Future, From Your Present

When I think about making decisions as my future self, I don’t mean pretending I already have her lifestyle.

I mean using her energy, her self-concept, and her clarity—while still honoring my current reality.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

I have a full-time job.

I live with a thyroid condition.

I have a family that I deeply care for.

So even though my future self may have spacious mornings, abundant health, and a business that’s fully sustaining her life—today’s me can’t ignore those current facts.

If I were to set up my business to run as if I didn’t have a full-time job, I’d burn out by Tuesday.

So instead, I use my future self’s perspective to make present-day decisions that make sense for the woman I am right now.

It’s About Energy, Not Lifestyle

When I tap into my future self, I’m not trying to rearrange my life to look like hers.

I’m borrowing her beliefs, her decision-making power, her confidence.

She’s grounded.

She knows what she wants.

She trusts herself.

So I ask: What would she think about this? How would she handle this with grace, with wisdom, with calm confidence?

And then, I apply that mindset within my current capacity—my current hours, my current resources, my current energy.

That’s how I make consistent, sustainable progress that actually feels good.

Your Future Self Is a Frequency, Not a Fantasy

The key is realizing that your future self isn’t waiting on a new job, a diagnosis, or a perfect schedule.
She’s a frequency you can access right now—through thought, decision, and energy.

You reach into the future, grab the mindset of the woman who already has what she wants, and make your next move from that space.

Not from pressure.
Not from fantasy.
From alignment.

That’s the sweet spot where true transformation happens.

So next time you hear “make decisions as your future self,” remember:
You’re not required to live like her today—you’re simply invited to think like her, believe like her, and move with her energy in the life you already have.

That’s where the magic (and the self-trust) begins.
