Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now on this video, I'll be sharing with you the formula for becoming your future self now, really for optimizing yourself to become the perfect version of yourself. Now what I believe this video has the ability to do is to show you the mold momentum that you already have going and to help you in a way make some little tweaks that will make all the difference in the long term and help you understand the invisible force that is controlling the direction of your life. Now with this process, a lot of the information I'm going to be sharing is going to be a mixture of understanding our self-image in a powerful way, in a new way, and then combining that with understanding some of the work of Tony Robbins when it comes to understanding the values that control control the course of our life. Now originally I read the book Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins and there was a section in there on how important values are and for years, because you know, I reread that book every now and then and I'll go through it and I've always read that part of it and it just never really resonated with me. I guess I never really understood it completely, but it's something that recently I've come to understand in a more simplistic way and I've kind of had my own interpretation of it, which is what I'm sharing with you, which is the formula. To talk about, but it really makes such a big difference in understanding the direction of where we're going and the consistent emotions that we feel. Now let's first off understand that unless we have a vision for ourselves, a vision of who we prefer to be, we are going to then continue to perpetuate the old self-image that we have that may even be unconscious, and because of that we'll continue to run those programs over and over again. Now the key key to this is knowing that the first part of this process is having a clear vision for who you prefer to be. So you must know the perfect version of yourself, or you must at least have an idea of what that is because you can pro— you can like arrange it and modify it later, but you have to first off have a vision, a symbol for what that is. Now the idea behind this is what you can then become aware of is that the values that you currently have in your life are what is shaping your life. Now by a value and what a value is, is an importance that we put on a certain characteristic or on a certain emotion. So the values could be, and I'll list some of them right here. It could be achievement. It could be the values of feeling love, warmth, connection. It could be feeling passion. It could be a number of different things that you'll see right here. Now we have a lot of those that are on autopilot based upon growing up, based upon just the level of comfort we have. Maybe we have security on part of that list, which means that comfort will be an important part of it. And we won't realize that sometimes if we have a vision for ourselves that we want to be and we find that blocks keep coming up, it could be because our values are out of sync with the direction we want to go. So let me give you an example. If we were to have a value or a vision of us being a business owner, for example, but one of our values was having a high level of security and comfort in our life, It's unlikely that we would take the risk for us to own a business or to jump in that field because of that unconscious value that we have. Now understand that with all of these values, one of the things that's important to understand is that our identity will be placed within these. Now our identity, the way that we see ourselves, and one of the strongest human drives there is, is to remain consistent to the way that we define ourselves. Now what this means is that if there's a certain value that we have, if we're unaware of it, we will continuously keep perpetuating it over and over again and it will continue to run our life experience. Now I became very aware recently of my values and how that was one of the most important things that I switched months ago when I took this channel to the next level by putting out more content and trying to add more value to people. Now the values I had to change because one of my values was part of feeling security for the job that I had that was like providing me with, you know, the income that I needed. Um, there was more of a focus on feeling that comfort and more stagnation. And what I realized I had to do was I had to place, uh, achievement higher up on the list. And now originally I had a vision for who I wanted to be, but I realized that my actions were not mirroring that image that I had in mind. So I had to do was I had to rearrange these values. I had to then see that another value that I had to move up the list was contribution, feeling like I wanted to contribute and add value. I moved those to the top of my list and all of a sudden my actions started to align with it. It was like the unconscious, like, direction of where I was going began to change because I became more conscious of it. Let's now get to the formula that I have for you in understanding this process. Now, the formula I have for you is understanding that your values plus your conditioning plus your beliefs slash actions equals who you are being in the present moment or the future self that you want to be. Now, the idea is the future self and who you are being is that you could embody those characteristics now, so I put them in the same category. Now the idea, as I said, with the values that we have is that we must first off, and there's 3 steps with this process of going about it, is the first part of this formula, the first step to it is you must become aware of your values. Now the values you have are unconscious, and if you simply ask yourself, what is most important to me? What out of that list that I showed you is the most important thing to you? That's where you can then rank them in 1 to 10 and you can see, or however many there are, and see what order there are. Then what you can realize is that the best version of yourself, of what you can imagine yourself and how you prefer to be, what would that version of yourself values be in that imagination, in that visualization? You can then see what those values are and what you must then do is simply decide that that is who you are going to be now, which is the second step. So the first step, you become aware of what your current values are. The second step is you simply decide your new preferred set of values. Now that will allow you to continue to then have the awareness for who you prefer to be. And then the point from that step is the third step, which is simply the action and the conditioning of it. Now what this means is that every single day, what you can begin to get into the habit of doing is off the top of the list of those taking action every day that mirrors that version of you. So for example, for me, high up on my list is of course, um, what I had to do recently was switch happiness higher up on the list because I was so focused on the science or the, uh, the achievement of what I want and success that I, what I want to create that I found that I was really straining myself and just not that I was working too hard, although I do work really hard at what I do, but I was almost putting my happiness on hold until I got to some imaginary point. But what I learned to do was to— if I'm happier now, everything else will fuel itself anyways. So the idea is that I moved achievement. I had happiness up there at the top. I had achievement and success there. Uh, and then down the list there were more contribution and passion and other ones. But the idea is that every day I would take action with how I could achieve more, which was putting out more valuable content, which is the contribution part of it as well, which is adding more value than I could the day before, just learning how to optimize that. So every day I would take action doing that for happiness as a value. Every day I would focus on meditating. I would focus on replenishing myself with, you know, getting a massage or whatever it is. So that I could balance these out in a very powerful way. Now that's why, and if you look at this formula again, the conditioning for who we are is simply the habits that we currently have in place, the behaviors that we have. And then if you look over here, you'll notice that I have the actions and the beliefs in the same category. Now the reason this is, is because if we believe that who we prefer to be is what we can achieve, and we are really bought into that, we will naturally take the action. The action and the belief are synonymous. If you knew that in 4 months you could be where you wanted to be and all you had to do was take the action to get there, would you do it? And the answer most likely is yes. The belief and the action are synonymous. Now this is the powerful part of this video, is understanding that you can become aware of your unconscious values that you have. That these values are a part of your self-image and that your self-image is what is running your life experience. And that from that point you can do that 3-step process of becoming aware of what they are, of deciding your new preferred set values, and then simply deciding to take action with that every day in whatever way you can and condition that over and over again. That's the missing link for so many people because they have a vision for who they want to be. But they don't realize that the underlying thread that interweaves all of these things is about the values that they have, the emotions, and what they place importance on. Decide who you prefer to be and decide that you're going to take that action, and it will make such a big change in your life. Now, with that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
