Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast.

I'm your host, Mikkel, and today we are talking about your future self.

Hey, hey, guys. What's up? How are y'all doing today? Welcome to another episode of the podcast.

How's your life doing? I hope that you guys are doing well. I'm trying to think of something to update you guys with my life.

Actually, okay, so this hasn't happened yet,

but at the time I'm recording this podcast, um, in a few days, I'm going to dye my hair red.

I'm so scared. So by the time this airs, I'm going to have red hair and I'm either going to

hate it or love it, all because of my thoughts. But I wanted to try something new and different. And, you know, I'm going to have red hair and I'm either going to hate it or love it, all because of my

thoughts. But I wanted to try something new and different. And, you know, I'm telling you guys all the

time, put yourself out there and, you know, push yourself outside your comfort zone. And so

it's definitely a little bit outside my comfort zone. But I'm excited. We'll see. If you guys want to see a picture you can go to my

Instagram which is palm dot street and yeah hopefully it looks good fingers crossed

I don't know yet we'll see you um but today we were talking about your future self

who you want to be in the future.

A lot of times when we think about the future, our minds go to things that are scary for us.

Worries, things that could go wrong, how things won't turn out the way we want. And a lot of times

we also tend to reference our past. So we look at how things have gone for us before and we assume

that's how the future is going to go. Like that last relationship I had with my boyfriend was horrible. So my next

boyfriend is also going to really suck. You have no idea what your future boyfriend's going to be like,

but you're basing it all on past experiences. And the thing when we do that is we limit ourselves. When we define our future by our

past, we can only look at things that have happened to us. And we just assume the same old thing

will always happen versus realizing the future is a blank canvas.
