Becoming Your Feminist Future Self: Principles for Personal and World Evolution

Evolving to Your Future Self

• 🎯 The concept of a 'future self' is explored, emphasizing that this future version is not inherently more worthy or valuable, but rather has grown and evolved.
• 💡 Becoming your future self involves internal growth in thinking, self-concept, and emotional capacity, not just achieving external outcomes.
• 🔑 External markers like career success or relationships are seen as direction signs for internal growth, not the primary goal.

The Power of Internal Change

• 🧠 Focusing on external circumstances or outcomes without changing your thinking leads to the same negative thought patterns and suffering in a new setting.
• 🚀 The true value of pursuing a 'dream life' lies in becoming a different person through intentional thought and feeling changes, before external results manifest.
• 🌱 External outcomes are a byproduct of internal growth, including evolved thinking, self-concept, and emotional resilience.

Feminist Future Self and World Impact

• ✨ The process is framed as becoming a 'feminist future self,' expressing one's authentic self beneath layers of social conditioning.
• 🌍 As you evolve into your future self by shedding social conditioning, your impact on the world and those around you increases, contributing to a better world.
• 💬 This evolution is not just beneficial for the individual but also contributes to envisioning and creating a different world where women can show up authentically and change the world for the better.

Practical Steps to Becoming Your Future Self

• 💡 Accessing your future self involves working backward from desired outcomes by identifying how that future person thinks and feels.
• 🛠️ By imagining a desired outcome (e.g., a raise, a business milestone), ask how the person who has achieved it feels and what they think about relevant situations.
• 📈 The speaker shares personal examples of using this technique, such as asking 'What would the CEO of a $100,000 business do?' to overcome business challenges.
• 🧠 Overcoming your brain's objections and learned helplessness is crucial for accessing this 'higher self' thinking and implementing the necessary changes.
