Understanding the Future Self and Its Impact on Goals
Learn how your perception of your future self affects your ability to achieve your goals and why it is important to establish an emotional connection with your future self.
This episode is brought to you by WHOOP, ARMRA Colostrum, and Cozy Earth
Many of us have a vision of what we want our future to look like but have trouble seeing a clear path to get there. What’s more, we allow the stories of our past to cloud our judgment of what’s possible. When we stop and envision our future through the lens of our accomplishments, it opens the door to what’s possible.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Benjamin Hardy to discuss practical steps for making your future goals a reality.
