Taking Care of Future You

from The Art of Expansion · host Emily Cheney

Why is it so hard to stay consistent… even when you really want the result? If your motivation often sounds like “I should,” “I have to,” or “I need to,” and it feels heavy and forced, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking about giving gifts to your future self, to help you stay committed to your goals in a lighter and more fun way. I’ll break down what’s actually happening in your brain (hello survival mode), why willpower isn’t the answer, and how to use your amazing human brain to make decisions your future self will thank you for. This is about working with your brain instead of fighting it, and finally making consistency feel exciting instead of exhausting. If you want more, doors for EXPAND, my small group coaching program, are open. Use the link below to join.  https://emilycheneycoaching.com/expand/
