What's up y'all ? Welcome back to Mindfully Moody . This is the mini mood , our Friday series , where we just bring you small doses of wisdom , magic intuition , our channel downloads that we are feeling in the moment . So I have a channeled message to share with you Stop trying to solve future use problems . How does that resonate with you ?
How does that resonate with you ? Okay , I literally just had to get that out right away .
This is Sarah , by the way , I'm recording a solo episode and this is just something that I am really feeling right now , as I've been cultivating more presence in my life , releasing the need for urgency , releasing the connection to timelines and expectations , and I have really been thinking about how much time I spend thinking about the future .
And it's okay to think about the future in terms of visualization and figuring out what you desire . Listen , I'm all about it . I love it . Where I'm drawing the line in my life and I know where a lot of us need to draw the line is trying to solve future use problems . Okay , because the only moment is right now .
And even when you think about visualization and all these things and I love again , I love visualization , but it puts us in that mindset of the future and the only moment we have is today . So why are you trying to solve your problems in the future ?
And what this makes me think of is when I used to be in corporate and I would Hannah relates to this so much too and I would be having to present , like a big project , a big recommendation to a client when I worked in advertising and I would for so long have so much anxiety about the presentation .
Oh my God , I would literally be like you know anxiety , anxiety , anxiety . What if it goes wrong ? What if I mess up ? What if I say something wrong ? What if they ask me a question and I don't know how to answer ? Like all of these freaking things , y'all . Okay that I would think about that . I would start trying to think about solutions to all of them .
I would start trying to solve future me's problems all the time . I also relate this to like dating .
Like you know , when you're talking to your girlfriend and it's like you're dating a new guy , or like maybe you've been seeing someone for a few months and now , like you know , you have like your first little fight , or like disagreement or whatever , and you're like , how's it going to respond ?
What's he going to say if I say this blah blah , blah blah , and you get in this whole thing with your girlfriend for hours and hours and hours about how well , what if he says this , then what would I say ? What if he says that ? Then what would I say ?
And it's like you're literally talking about something that has never even happened , like the future is a projection . We are just projecting what we think is going to happen in the future , but it is not .
Our projections that we're thinking of in our brain are not always connected to reality , so you could sit there and you could think about how you're going to craft the response text to the guy you've never even texted yet , based on all of these certain situations , or dissecting what , why he's feeling the way that he's feeling , or what he's gonna do next , or
how he's gonna show up , or what the date's gonna be like . Why , though ? Why are you getting so in the future , future , future ? I feel like people really need to freaking hear this right now , like I lived in this for so long , and I still do in many ways . What's it gonna be like when this happens in my life ? What's it gonna be like ?
Well , what if this situation happened . What if that situation happened ? What , oh my gosh ? What I love about coaching is that we stand behind the idea that all people are creative , resourceful and whole and know how to solve their own problems . Okay , that's like big part of why I got into coaching .
I believe , as a coach , that you can solve all of your problems , because your most wise , intuitive answers cannot be given to you by anyone else other than you . So what would it look like to start trusting your future self that , no matter what happens in the future , you're gonna figure it out ? No worries , you are gonna figure it out .
Wow , what a freaking . If the guy text you something , you're gonna figure it out . If you get a , your boss puts a one on one on your calendar because you did something wrong , you're gonna figure it out . If you know you aren't able to pay your rent because of X , y and Z , you're gonna figure it out .
Believe in future you , because future you Knows how to solve the problems that future you is experiencing . And future you and get out of your mind from the future , get into your body . That's the best thing about embodiment is that it puts you in the present moment .
How are you gonna get embodied , go dance , go move your body , go breathe , go meditate , go journal , go be with your partner , your friend , your family member , go to a concert , go out in nature , go do something that puts you in the present moment . I love you . I hope this was resonant with you .
Literally , my notebook with all of my incredible downloads just fell on the floor and it was like bam baby , you said what you needed to say , so thank you so much for listening . We'll be back with you soon .
