Do You Ever Procrastinate?

Have you ever spent money that you intended to save?

Or, maybe, you find it hard to stick to a diet that keeps you healthy and looking fit.

In this article, I’ll show you how those two unrelated struggles (saving money and losing weight) are
directly connected by a concept called the ‘Future Self’.

You’ll learn the 5 Positive Benefits of Connecting with your Future Self. Then, I’ll explain precisely what
you need to do to make it easier for you to take smart action to fulfill anything you desire.

- Eleanor Roosevelt

The Power of Future-Self Continuity

Every day, people suffer from low “future-self continuity”.

What is low future-self continuity?

Basically, it’s the tendency to view your future-self as a different person…almost as if they are
someone totally unrelated to you.
For example, in a famous research experiment, when children were given the option of getting to eat
one marshmallow immediately or waiting fifteen minutes to get double the treat and get two
marshmallows, most children chose one marshmallow right away.

Children will often prefer to eat one marshmallow immediately rather waiting fifteen minutes to get
two.

This behavior carries through into adulthood. For some reason, it’s just dang hard to connect with your
future-self and make the choices that will pay off in the long run, instead of seeking instant
gratification.

Recent research has determined one significant fact...

Will power is not primary source of your ability to:

 Save for retirement

 Eat right

 Exercise regularly...

In fact, will power has little to do with it.

Rather it has to do one's ability to connect with their future-self!

Scientists discovered that...

a person’s ability to connect with their future-self, relate to them, and feel compassion for their own
situation (in the future), amplifies the ability to improve your life situation.
Connecting with your future self compassionately is key to making positive change.

Connecting with your future-self improves your decision making, makes it easier to take action, make
smart choices, and can even help you lose weight or fatten your savings account.

Let’s go over 5 amazing benefits you’ll receive when you forge a connection with your future-self. Then,
I’ll show you exactly how to do just that.

5 Reasons You Need Say ‘Hi’ to Your Future-Self Today!

1) Erase Procrastination

Everyone knows that getting started on that big project will pay off in the long run. You’ll feel less
stressed and will deliver a higher quality end-product. So why is it so dang hard to get started? It’s all
because humans tend to seek instant gratification, because they aren’t in touch with their future-self.

Did you know...?

A study involving 193 University students proved that by connecting with their future-self, researchers
found that students “who regularly practiced visualizing their future [self] experienced less
procrastination.”
2) Save More Money

Just like with procrastination, the tendency to overspend comes from the powerful lure of instant
gratification. Researchers out of the London School of Business discovered that “[enhancing] a person’s
sense of self-continuity – such as photo-shopping a picture to make someone look older – can lead to
significantly higher savings rates because people invest more in their future when they feel more
connected to it.”

3) Stick to Your Diet and Lost Weight

It turns out that your inner store of will-power may have very little to do with your ability to lose
weight and maintain a healthy body.

Older concepts of ego-based will-power are being disproven. New research reveals that the best way to
control yourself at snack-time is by “foreseeing future payoffs.”

And while a moist piece of chocolate cake is alluring, the ability to put yourself into the shoes of your
future-self who is fit, sexy, and feels great can actually overcome the momentary desire.

Connecting with your future-self improves fitness, willingness to exercise and helps weight loss.

4) Exercise

According to the Mayo Clinic, some of the most common excuses people make for not exercising are
“I’m too lazy,” “I think exercise is boring,” and “I’m not athletic.” These aren’t judgments about the
exercise; these are judgments about the people themselves. They believe that they’ll flake, and that
prophecy is self-fulfilling. To conquer temptation and achieve change, then, you need to dispel the fog of
self-doubt and develop confidence in your own future behavior.
But how can you do that? By connecting with your future self, of course!

5) Increase Your Motivation and Energy

If you’re trying to improve your life circumstance or achieve a goal in the distant future, it’s often
imperative to spend some of your free time working towards that desire. If you’re struggling to find the
motivation and energy to do that extra effort, try connecting with your future-self and let yourself feel
how amazing it will be when you succeed!

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world.

How to Meet With Your Future-Self:

If you’re like me, you want to meet your future-self immediately! I have good news. It’s easier than ever
to do just that.

Below, I’ll give you a couple of ways that you can take action on this life-hack and start making the
smart decisions that will help you get the healthy retirement, dream body, or professional success of
your wildest desires!

 Use an Aging App on a Photo of Yourself

Here's a great entry-point to help you build your future-self continuity.

Take a selfie, and then let an Aging App, such as Aging Booth, do all the work. When you get back the
aged version of yourself, it can help increase compassion towards your future-self. Note: this isn’t about
feeling grossed out because you have wrinkles… make sure you go into this with a healthy dose of
kindness and love. This is a technique that has been used by the London School of Business to help
people achieve a higher level of future-self continuity.

(But keep going, you can do so much more...)

 Journal Write to your Future-Self!

While visualization is by far one the most powerful way for you to identify with your future-self, many
people struggle with it because they haven't been trained properly.

If you're ready to connect with your future-self today, try this out...

On a piece of paper, write down "2028." Then, write down how old you'll be in that year. Next to your
age, write down what you want to be doing in your life at that point. For example, you may write:
retired, wealthy, spending time with grandchildren, or even on a beach! Don't worry about getting it
'right.' Just go with your gut instinct and write down the first thing that comes to mind.
