Episode notes
Wants vs. Expectations
- People often base their future on past experiences, leading to a disconnect between desires and expectations.
- This disconnect hinders action, as seen with the lottery: many want to win but don't expect to, so they don't play.
Relationships and Inaction
- Many single people in therapy express a desire for a relationship but don't actively pursue one.
- They may have underlying beliefs or make excuses that prevent them from taking necessary actions.
Connecting to Your Future Self
- Creating future experiences involves knowledge and a connection to your future self.
- Many people are present or past-oriented and struggle with future thinking, hindering their ability to achieve long-term goals like retirement.
