Summary
My goal for season 5 is for you to invest in YOU. Today's episode is focused on why it's so important to devote our time and energy on actively working towards bettering ourselves for the future. I'll share how our brain perceives ourselves differently in the present versus the future and give you advice on how you can take real steps to implement change through small actions that lead to who you want to be.
What's In This Episode:
• Why it's so important to invest in yourself and examples of what it means.
• Research on how we perceive our futures selves as someone we don't actually know.
• How we place higher value on immediate rewards, rather than future ones.
• Actionable steps you can take to implement change for your future self.

| 0:52.0 | beginning of the show? I have a brand new introduction, |
