Be Better Friends With Your Future Self
from Creative Juice Box Hosted by Hannah Holland
In this episode of the Creative Juice Box podcast, we discuss how to think of your future self as a friend (not a stranger) who will be grateful for the creative decisions you make now, even if you don't know how they'll turn out in the moment. We'll talk about: ✨ My tendency to think of my future self as an authority figure ✨ The importance of letting go of control over the future, both in life and in our creative projects ✨ How to combat "future anhedonia" and "future time slack" when making decisions for your future self ✨ The psychology behind why we think of our future selves as strangers ✨ How healing your relationship with your future self will also help your relationship with your past self (and present self) Stuff I mention: ✨ Research studies about why we're mean to our future selves (mentioned in this episode of The Happiness Lab podcast): https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos/why-were-mean-to-our-future-selves-live-from-boston Want more creative juice?
