Hello my name is Annabelle and today we're going to be looking at our future life and deciding where we want to be and how we want to be there. This is actually the Odyssey Plan which is a concept designed by some Stanford business students. So take a deep breath in through your nose out through your mouth and remember you don't have to make changes right this minute we're just getting perspective today with each breath notice your shoulders dropping even more the tension and stress leaving your body with each exhale finding more love and more peace coming into your life with each inhale today we're going to be doing a lot of visualization so if you feel comfortable close your eyes and imagine going to sleep tonight comfortable and warm in your bed when you wake up in the morning you're going to wake up in the life that you're at in three to five years if you follow doing exactly what you did now the same exercise routine the same job the same job the same friends and partners if you kept doing exactly what you were doing today waking up in your life in three to five years what does that look like and now visualize yourself waking up in this life and notice what your daily routine is notice what you're wearing and then think about are you truly happy start to go through the motions of your day maybe you need to go to work are you having the same fights with your partner are you doing the same things that just don't excite you if so what are they are you cooking the same meals for dinner are you still scrolling through the same social media or is the life that you're living now feeling you still with so much joy is all the work you're putting in paying off are you living your dream life and then imagine going to bed at the end of this day feeling warm and secure now that you know what that life looks like now i want you to imagine a completely different path maybe it's a different job moving ending a relationship or friendship whatever it may be maybe it's a mix of all three taking a moment to decide on what a completely different path of your life would look like if you made a huge change today taking a deep breath and then visualize waking up in that life in three to five years a completely different path notice where you're waking up who you spend your time with what you're doing to fill your days are you still going to work are you more or less excited about it do you have a partner and if so what's that relationship like what are you wearing and how do you feel about yourself how are you spending your evenings what do you love most about this life what do you not like about this life what changes did you really make and now imagining going back to bed feeling safe and warm and we're going to do one final visualization of what would your life look like in three to five years if you followed a path not worrying about money and not worrying about what people thought and you followed a path of not worrying about money and you followed a path of not worrying about money and you followed a path of not worrying about money what would that life look like taking a deep breath and then imagine waking up in this life a life where you haven't worried about money or other people's judgments for five years notice where you're waking up notice who you're waking up with what does your morning routine look like how are you spending your day you going to work pursuing your passion following your purpose notice how you're feeling how you're looking and what you're wearing notice your mental health if you're happier and more joyful more peaceful more centered allow the vision of your day to unfold take notice of the changes that you made three to five years ago that built to the wonderful life you have now notice the shifts in your mindset and ask this version of yourself how they did it notice what feelings you're feeling and notice how you make decisions throughout the day and finally imagine ending your night and then jumping into bed after living a life where you didn't have to worry about money or what other people thought feeling safe feeling warm taking a deep breath letting that energy sink in letting it into every single cell of your body and finally waking up where you are now knowing that any future knowing that any future you can visualize you can create but creating a future takes effort it takes change takes choosing that future over your past I know you are courageous and I know you can do it there is nothing stopping you not even you I invite you to journal about each of these lives noticing the key traits that you loved about them taking a deep breath slowly blinking your eyes open if you haven't already the future is coming whether you choose it or not but by doing this meditation today you know you have choice and you know what choices to make you are so loved and so appreciated I hope you have a wonderful day you

Thank you, this was such a helpful meditation and visualization!

Annabel, this was remarkable and just what I needed to lift my spirits and shift my perspective and energy to future Cast the life I want the life I dream of and the life I desire and the life I’m creating for myself and my partner. 💕❤️🤗

I found that meditation to be one of the best I’ve experienced for helping me envision and connect with my future. Even though I’m not usually a very visual person, this meditation felt both embodied and realistic. It clarified for me the distinction between fantasy and wishful thinking versus what is possible, achievable, and genuinely hopeful. Thank you for this experience! 🙏"

This meditation resonated with me as an older woman who has reached a pinnacle of decision. Taking care of others, doing the “right” things but never truly happy. Thank you for offering prompts and visions for guidance. Namaste.

Thank you so much for this detailed journey have made into my wants/ needs & future life. 🙏🏽❤️
