Your Future Un-stressed Self

stress management

even when i'm stressed, i have comfort in the acknowledgment of my feelings. i can look to my future self and see all of my current problems washing away in the big picture of life.

Question?

In my knowledge if mindfulness, we should focus on the present, rather than the past or the future... I just wondered whether this exercise is according to mindfulness?

Done

My constant running to-do lists are stressful. I am never done. Imagining all my tasks and worries crossed off was helpful. I need to stop trying to finish everything.

Stop For A Minute

I have learned that even when things are crazy, busy and stressful you can always stop, for even one minute to talk a little personal time. That one minute can make the difference

All times are intertwined

I can invoke my future self to save me, because it is also within. The one-direction arrow of time is an illusion...

This meditation was exactly what I needed

It gave me hope and reminded me that the current struggles I am facing are not a part of my future. Great visualization.

Stress-reliever

the family and school drama I’m dealing with at this moment in time is only temporary and is soon to be marked off my list of troubles

I learned that I can choose to be in a certain energy everyday and every moment of my life.

I learned that my life is a beautiful blessing and I'm forever grateful!

Future

My future self is so happy and beautiful. And it is so soon.

Love

I learnt not to love but to love more❤️meanings of love ❤️ kind, happy, beautiful, relaxed and loved by those people that 😘!

Day one-New Beginning

I am learning that not every situation has to be stressful. Because I consider myself an over achiever, I put this pressure on myself. Remember to breathe and take things moment by moment and check them off my list.

We are the FUTURE👽

With everything that has been happening in the world it has just been making me want to work harder each an everyday a reminder is a blessing is only a path to success 🖖🏽🌻

New things to learn

Interesting perspective about imagining your worries behind you, and harnessing that feeling, and using it for the present. It was a challenge, but it was almost like working out a part of my brain that lacked exercise. :)

Being given permission to look at un-stressed self

I loved the perspective of seeing my future un-stressed self as a focus to help me calm myself in all of my current chaos. I needed permission to do that because I wasn’t allowing myself to do it.

Projecting to your future self

I learned that even projecting to my future stress free self is still included in this moment.

I'm stressful times..

I can acknowledge my feeling and validate them as well as see myself at a different time with this all behind me. And indeed it is behind me that minute second, hour is over and I have a new second minute, hour ahead of me.

No More Stress

Well...I'll have to revisit this one. I couldn't clear my mind enough to give this one its due. Too much stink'n stress. But, for a fleeting second or two, I felt quite wonderful. Having my current stresses lifted would be absolutely lovely. Maybe someday...

Working on it.

I felt empty when I had checked off all my to do items. Maybe I'm too used to having a lot to do? I'd like to get to a place where I'm centered and peaceful while having a lot on my plate. Too often I think I have to get it all done instead of being there and living the moment. This is a minute by minute struggle for me.

Soothing feeling

I learned to envision myself without my current problems and living in that moment, and enjoying that feeling.

Stress

This stressful state is only a temporary one. Things will be brighter in the future if I want them to be

Stress free future self

I can tap into my future self to soothe my current self. I can envision a time where even the uncertainty of the future will reveal itself & my worry will end.

Thinking beyond

If I focus on the future moments beyond completing my education and being settled in my career, enjoying the fruits of my current tasks and hard work (all huge stressors), life is so good and worth the current angst.

Future to help the nos

I️ almost wish that session was a little longer it helped me get that feeling of anxiety out of my chest for those 7 minutes

Goals

If I can check off the things on my to do list calmly, the end result is being completely stress-free.

Stress in schedule

I'm reminded that nothing can be forced. I really can only do one thing at a time. I have enough to do what needs to be done, and it's not all up to me:)

No worries

Stop stressing about your current situations; start channeling into your future self and endeavors.

Day 5. 11/28

Worries and tasks can be checked off then I can relax and be at peace. This is a tough process.

Excellent Meditation

This one really helped calm my current anxiety. Just thinking that one day all this will be behind me, really does bring a smile to my face.

Being Done

The feeling that this invokes, the feeling of “being done,” is almost overwhelming. The thought that at some point in my future, I will not have a worry or a stress, that I will “be done,” has never, not once, crossed my mind. I’ve been living for so long, assuming that “being done” was never an option for me. Thinking that it might be an option, to feel accomplished enough, to be satisfied enough, to “be done,” is an overwhelming feeling of relief. A happiness so profound, it’s almost sorrow.

Done

God I am so ready to be here with you and all you can do is be made unready

Allow my self to smile

Because of the tense of these days, I forgot to smile even if I did them well. A smile is should be some kind of self respect that you are grateful for what you had achieved.

Being done

Wow, amazing feeling to imagine being gone. All the boxes checked on my todo list. Wonderful.

1/6/18

Reducing or eliminating stress = liberation, unparalleled freedom.

Future self

It’s going to be okay... I have time and i need to keep a positive outlook on what is coming and not to worry about the others in my decision making...for now

Futurama

A very nice meditation... My future self so stress free made me smile!!...

Love

Love is my one true goal. If I visualize it, it puts a smile on my face😆

With Practice

It was very difficult to imagine all negative stressors being resolved. With practice I may be able to imagine thus, but not on this first try. I’ll favorite it as one to work on.

Future Self

I learned the value of using a future, more complete self to soothe my present less complete self. Thank you.

Chilren

Thinking ahead to when time stresdors in my life will be behind me it feels Childlike!!

Time

Is an illusion. A veil drawn over our eyes to shield us from the truth that we are limitless. Until we’re ready to see.

1.31.18

Envisioning myself unstressed... all to-do items checked off... what a glorious vision accompanied by a delightful weightlessness!!

Relaxing in bed

It has been a long day now I am tried I feel refreshed & clean from my bath Now I am in my bed I can’t wait to sleep

Living life

Don’t live life regretting what didn’t happen and live life thinking about what can happen.

Seeing the me with the stress behind me

Picturing myself with the stressors no longer there gives me hope and a sense of calm, that I can have a time where the stress isn’t consuming me

Stress relief

I learned that I am very stressed and I have a lot to do. I’m always doing a lot and setting myself goals over and over again. Sometimes you just have to let go and stop writing down new things on your to do list.

Just what I needed

I learned that it only takes few minutes to get a fresh start on the day.

Trusting myself

I can trust myself to make the right decisions that will help me achieve the outcomes that will obviate my concerns.

YES YOU!

Oh my goodness, at first I was like “how can I possibly project to a future me with no stress?!” It’s sounds impossible at first! But letting yourself acknowledge that your stressed and then visualize the end is powerful.

#1

I felt irritated by the voice. But I do feel a little bit better.

StressFree is a State of Mind

Through this meditation I felt my senses in my past, childhood, carefree self . I remember how everything felt, smelt and looked like when stress ended . When you were able to be done and literally stress free . Stress free is a state of mind . It has to be or we would never not be stressed .

Reduce stress

Getting started into meditation is feeling weird for me and hard to stop my hectic thoughts, but I will keep trying it out

Projecting the future unstressed

Fundamentally this is a perfect session for my issue of worry .... excellent !!!

First time

It’s going to be okay and you just need to sit down and take a moment for yourself sometimes

Future Self

By projecting ourselves into strong visualisations of our future selves, we can savour the feeling of having dealt with any worries and achieved our goals. Visualising a completed tick sheet for our current to do list is really powerful.

Stress

My stress levels lowered a bit when I did this, it felt nice and reassuring.

First

I tell myself stories of what bad, tragic, horrible things can happen and give these stories power.

Exactly what I needed!

My life at work has become excruciatingly torturous and my personal life at home is in ruins. If I’m stressed at home, I find comfort at work. Likewise if work is unbearable, I have home to call my sanctuary. Now with both of my environments causing me stress, I have nowhere to turn but inwards. This put me in the perfect mindset to remember that “this too shall pass.”

Future stress

As someone who is worried about what the future holds, I didn't find this meditation very soothing. It just made me think about the things I'm stressed about.

4/27/18

I learned how good and content I feel after I accomplish my goals and dreams. That they are all attainable and that the future is beyond bright for me.

The Unstressed Self

Excellent meditation that focuses on what one feels like when all the items on our lists are checked off. We need to connect to the positive state of that experience.

O futuro

Projectar me no futuro e imaginar a minha vida depois de ultrapassado a todos os problemas me acalma. Pensar que tudo se vai resolver acalma

Beginning of a little joy in paradise🏝

Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to change the world so that they can be happy. This hasn’t ever worked, because it approaches the problem backward. Projecting Yourself to Your Future Self gives us a way to change the projector—mind—rather than the projected. It’s like when there’s a piece of lint on a projector’s lens. We think there’s a flaw on the screen, and we try to change this person and that person, whomever the flaw appears on next. But it’s futile to try to change the projected images. Once we realize where the lint is, we can clear the lens itself. This is the end of suffering, and the beginning of a little joy in paradise.

365 day streak ...

One has to feel good after completing 365 days of daily meditations in a row 👍🏻

This was exactly what I needed to hear ,

I do this kind of thinking over every thing ; I needed that I can choose to not worry

Merchant + wives

What a cool story that I was pleasantly surprised with. We all put our mental health on the back burner at some point, and for some it’s way too frequent. This was a good story with a great eye opener.

Heartache

I learned that god is the answer not me and I can’t force anyone to be with me . God needs to show them.

Stress...

It’s normal, it’s common, but sometimes it weighs heavy if you lose perspective. Don’t get stuck in the future or past. Focus on the present and the fact that “this too shall pass”

I tried

But I think I failed in this lesson. I couldn't foresee a me without the constant stresses of my life. I WISH I COULD!

Getting it all done

As much as I try, I feel that my list grows daily with more and more to do. Cross five off, but add seven more. Soon, I’m overwhelmed. It is not in my budget to pay others to do these tasks for me. So, I keep trying to do it myself. I wish that work didn’t take so much of my time and energy. It would help to have better balance. I don’t see that happening in the next 12-15 or more years until retirement. It’s a shame we go full speed and then stop. This seems so inefficient.

A sense of positivity and possibilities

If it’s true that the best relationship you can have is a relationship with yourself, then the best source of comfort must also come from within. I’ve never thought about the idea of tapping into your future self to comfort your current self would being much positive effect and a feeling of hopefulness. This is great. Thank you

Not a favorite.

Borrow from future self to help the current self. This feels like I am giving in to something that is not real. Fooling myself. I feel a little uncomfortable. This one isn’t for me.

My Future Self...

There is hope. One day I will be able to release the responsibilities of my children, my parents. I can retire from the stress of work. One day I can have a life... for me. 😊

Projecting an unstressed self

I guess as i came out of this meditation i didn’t think of it as the title describes, however i do see it now, and the title IS fitting. By renewing ourselves everyday we give way to endless positive future days without any baggage from the past. I’ve been listening mostly inspirational stories, so this is a nice transition back into meditations. Renewing myself daily.

Day 9 continued

I have skipped multiple days and definitely feel higher energy/intensity, and worry. I ruminative instead of think through. This has been beneficial and I mustn’t let myself stray from this

Not today

Ive started hittn a downward pattern again, at least i kno this time and accept it

Perfect

This was the perfect meditation for me today. Doubts and negative emotions were swamping me and it made me project to the day that I can find peace again. This does not discount my feelings now which I acknowledge but it brings it back into perspective. Thank you.

Stress

Lately people have been hurting me and bringing negative energy to my life, now I just look for the positives and seek the light at the end of the tunnel

Your Future Unstressed Self

Oh course i will never truly but finished with the things that being my stress. But I.can choose NOT to allow those things to be a source of stress. They are just things. Stress is how I react to those things.

Projecting yourself to your future in stressed self

I learned that it is so beneficial for me to practice this mediation when I’m stressed and having a difficult day! I’ve been so stressed and going through some difficult things in my life and this mediation made all the difference for me! It was a great reminder and came just at the right time, when I needed it most and for that I’m so grateful! It’s in these moments that I need to remind myself that this too shall pass! Throughout my day I will keep envisioning myself future self to clam my current stressed self! I’m letting go and letting God! I know I’m in good hands! 😌

Protect yourself

I noticed when I listen to this meditation 🧘‍♀️ I still feel stressed out about how what happened yesterday at my child’s school it was unbelievable I’m trying now to get myself together I still can’t get what happened they still don’t know what caused the illnesses. I’m just outraged by this.😩

Ahhhhh...

Was without Internet connection over the weekend—so there was no getting to Aura. It’s nice to be back with the guided meditation.

Physical and emotional symptoms mostly from navel down to my feet

Need to move and stretch daily my life is not involving walking and stretching and setting goals with fit bit

I needed this...

I have had so many things weighing on me I have forgotten what it feels like to NOT feel anxious. This came up at the perfect time ❤️

Great meditation

Projecting my thoughts to create a more precise vision of my goals helps them manifest into my experiences quicker. When I couple breathing with guided thinking, I can pull myself back to my center, which is Love. All thoughts stemming from Love are beneficial to my growth and continued progress spiritually.

Wow

This meditation brought me to tears. Being able to communicate with my future self is just what I needed to be able to do what I want to do without the unnecessary pressure.

Stressed feeling

I learned that there is a solution to everything if we try it and it can surely happen but for that we have to stay positive

Tension

I noticed that I was carrying tension all over my body; my brow was furrowed and my jaw was clenched (a great recipe for a mild headache). Even after an incredibly productive day, I was still thinking about how many things I have yet to do, and imagining having them all done was comforting, but there was still a lingering sense that when I do manage to get everything I’m worried about now completed, there will always be something new to be stressed about.

Releasing...

This was a very calming meditation which was a very much needed break from our current situation. Letting go of current stresses and focusing on a future version of ourselves that is past all of our worries and concerns and is done with all obligations. I found my self smiling and standing a few inches taller without any problems, deadlines, expectations or concerns.... ahhhh.... free to do whatever, whenever for as long as I want. Then I saw myself writing & speaking and sharing & teaching with young adults who were looking for advice. There was excitement, anticipation and lots of good energy. It was truly a pleasant time for all! ❤️🎓🍀

Unstressed

I am tried being stressed I really tried it time to relax & calm & destress

I wasn’t stressed to begin with...

this one was a downer even though it’s intent was not to be

The list is all tucked off

Seeing myself nearing the end of my path of this party of my journey,looking back, waves washing away the footprints of where I had come from and the path before me was more beautiful than ever. I am on the right path. I can do this.

End of the work shift in sight

It’s a great meditation to do on my lunch break: it’s easy to see how relaxed and destressed I’ll be when I get off at the end of my shift, and projecting forward to that feeling helps me get through it to get there.

Prejection

Its possible to tap into feelings and states that might be in the future and hold them in the present and now.

Let go of stress

Thinking about being stress free, letting go of my current situation helped me relax a bit more. School has been stressing me out A LOT over the last few months and in a few days I’ll be on break. Thinking about what I’m gonna do (or not do) after this semester ends helped alleviate some of that stress and let me know, it’s gonna be okay. I can get through this.

Stressful Day

I learned that putting things behind me can start a new journey to becoming less stress for my future.

Unstressed Self

Thank you for that visualization. It was so relaxing to embody my unstressed self

A powerful concept that leads to less anxiety.

Kristy does a beautiful job of introducing a powerful concept of channeling our future self where the anxiety of today is not weighing on us, to help us realize that we don’t need to have those anxieties now. To just sit with that thought opens up a less anxious mindset that I am grateful for. Namaste. Trevor

I felt an inner peace

I learned that you don’t have to wait to find it that’s it’s already deep inside me.

I felt Peace and acceptance

I learned it is deep with in me and that many raw emotions need to be removed in order to feel it.

This meditation really touched my heart

It made me very emotional from the onset, her empathy being so palpable and well directed in her words. I am going through an unsettling time and this short meditation helped me aknowledge that it IS hard right now, but also remember that I am more than my anxiety. Thank you

Amazing, truly amazing, Thank you!

Worrying and stressing only drains your life energy and makes you susceptible to physical ailment- simply acknowledging the ‘alert’ and then confronting it in meditation is all we need to do. I will consult my future self from now on - what an awesome concept! Thanks again!

Good day

I learned that I can look to my future self with hope that all Is well

Caring for parents

It is hard to do with dogs cats and parents interrupting but as I am here on FMLA caring for elderly parents recovering I can’t go to another room, constant care is. Needed

Future Unstressed Self Meditation

It helped calm me to project myself in the future calmness I want to achieve. I felt my breathing just slow down and be cleansing.

My future self

I loved this. I released some worries that have been on my mind. They've been negatively affecting my mood, my self care, my sleep, my health. To picture how I'll feel inside when the main worry will be taken care of in less than a week is very calming. To actually FEEL it. Nice. 👍
