A Concierge for Future Me
I am an anxious person frequently experience anxiety. And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve found ways to quiet that voice, although I suspect anxiety will always be there, always be part of my lil chorus of crazies.
One thing that’s helped to dampen that voice is to run a concierge service. For future-me.
Sometimes that looks tiny → Setting up my water bottle with electrolytes before bed so morning-me wakes up hydrated.
Sometimes it’s bigger → Like doing the workout I said I would. Or actually making time to connect with family and friends.
When I started thinking this way, something interesting happened: a different voice came online.
One that looks toward the future with care, and later gets to look back with gratitude when those small acts pay off. It turns out a lot of good decisions are just small favors we do for the person we’re about to become.
Anyway, little Friday thought:
I hope this weekend you do one small thing for your future self.
And if you feel like sharing, tell me in the comments what small favor you’re doing for future-you.
Rooting for ya!
