Have you ever wished you could fast-forward to success? Imagine waking up one morning, and boom—your goals are achieved, your dream life is unfolding, and you’re living as your best future self.
Sounds amazing, right?
But here’s the twist—the journey is what makes the destination worthwhile. If we could just skip ahead, we’d miss out on the growth, the lessons, and the joy of becoming that person.
The secret? You don’t have to wait for your future self—you can embody them now.
Why ‘Future Self’ Thinking Works
Lately, I’ve been seeing a surge of books, articles, and scientific research on the power of working with your future self. And once you start noticing something, it pops up everywhere, right?
One book that changed everything for me was Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s Be Your Future Self Now. (Highly recommend it if you haven’t read it!) His research highlights how visualising and actively engaging with your future self helps you achieve your goals faster.
You can get the book here.
Another favourite? Mark Forster’s How to Make Your Dreams Come True, where he takes on the persona of his future self and asks his present self what he needs to do to bridge the gap. It’s a powerful method of reverse engineering success.
And of course, we can’t talk about future self manifestation without Neville Goddard’s The Law of Assumption. His philosophy? Once you assume the identity of your future self, the Universe conspires to make it reality.

But let’s be honest—how many times have we read books, had those ‘aha’ moments… and then done absolutely nothing with them?
I’ve been guilty of this too.
So this time, I decided to go all in. No more reading and forgetting. I started applying these lessons daily. And the results? Game-changing.
Want to follow along? Let’s meet your future self.
Step 1: Identify Who Your Future Self Really Is
If your future self has already achieved your goals, why not start thinking, acting, and making decisions from their perspective?
📝 Reflection Exercise: Compare Yourself to One Year AgoBefore we jump ahead, take a moment to look back. A year ago, you were a different person. Answer these questions:
✅ Have you increased your income?
✅ Have you moved house or changed environments?
✅ Have you upgraded your skills or hired anyone?
✅ Do you dress differently?
✅ Have your beliefs shifted?
✅ What lessons did you learn?
✅ What was easier in hindsight than it felt at the time?
✅ Have your goals changed?
🎯 Mind-blowing realisation: You are already the future self of the ‘you’ from a year ago!
Without even trying, you’ve evolved. Now imagine what’s possible if you actively work with your future self!
Step 2: Connect with Your Future Self
Now, let’s get clear on the exact version of you that you want to step into.
Visualisation Exercise: Your Life in 12 Months
Grab a notebook and answer these prompts:
🔹 Where do you live? (City, house, dream location?)
🔹 What does your ideal daily routine look like?
🔹 What is your financial situation like?
🔹 How do you feel in your body, mind, and soul?
🔹 What skills have you mastered?
🔹 Who is in your life, supporting and celebrating you?
🔹 What new habits do you have?
🔹 How do you generate income effortlessly?
💡 PRO TIP: The more specific you are, the more powerful this exercise becomes.
Now, step into their shoes. Imagine you are that version of yourself right now.
What advice would they give you? What are they prioritising? How do they make decisions differently from you today?
Step 3: Rewrite Your Reality with Future Self Decisions
Your future self already knows the path to success. So start making decisions like them NOW.
Instead of saying: ❌ “I’ll be confident once I achieve X.”
Say: ✅ “I am already confident—I make decisions based on that identity.”
Instead of saying: ❌ “I’ll invest in myself when I can afford it.”
Say: ✅ “My future self is resourceful and finds ways to invest in their growth.”
🔥 Challenge: For the next 7 days, ask yourself before any decision:
What would my future self do?
Would they start that project or keep hesitating?
Would they prioritise self-care or push it aside?
Would they stay in their comfort zone or take bold action?
Step 4: Make Your Future Self Unforgettable
Life gets busy. We forget. We fall back into old habits.
To make sure your future self stays front and centre, try this:
📌 Write Your Future Self Statement.
Example:
"I am a thriving, financially abundant entrepreneur with a successful online business, impacting thousands. My daily routine is filled with creativity, freedom, and joy. I wake up excited, knowing I am living my purpose."
🔄 Repeat It Daily.
- Read it every morning and night.
- Record it in your own voice and listen to it.
- Rewrite it multiple times a day until it sinks in.

One of my biggest takeaways from The Law of Assumption is that the moment you assume you ARE your future self, reality bends to fit that belief.
🌟 So don’t wait for permission.
🌟 Don’t wait for the perfect moment.
🌟 Don’t wait for success to "arrive."
Step into your power NOW. Your future self is waiting. 💫
