I’m excited about my future!

My mom told me that telling yourself, “I’m excited about my future” can trick your brain into feeling more optimistic than it really is.

I was broken up with last week. Instead of focusing on the sadness that usually accompanies disappointing breakups, I am focusing instead on my future.

I’m excited about my future.

In my future, I expect to:

• Meet the love of my life!!

• Publish more books!

• Write my breakthrough book!

• Become a mom or guardian to a child!

• Travel to beautiful places!!

• Meet my nieces and nephews!

• Make more lifelong friends!!

• Enjoy delicious food and many more margaritas!

• Laugh until my stomach hurts!

• Help others heal while continuing to heal myself.

I expect my future to be full of realized dreams, lifelong love, family, friends, cherished meals, friendship bracelets, comfy beds, bold nail polish, and being high in nature. I want to sit and watch the sunrise, dip my feet into the ocean, and pursue happiness until it is abundant in my life. I want to fall in love a million times: with myself, with the view, with my friends, with “the one.”

I’m turning thirty this year and I have a very good feeling about things.

I’m excited about my future!
