Dallas Bragg argues that speaking as your future self doesn't ignore reality, it expands it. When your language points toward who you're becoming instead of who you were, your brain follows. He asks what daily ritual could remind you of the gap between experience and identity, and help you embed new language patterns.
By speaking from your future self, you're not rejecting reality, but you're embracing a more complete version of it. And brain follows suit. So when your language consistently orients toward who you're becoming rather than who you were, your attention naturally flows. You start moving forward. Where attention goes, energy flows, right?
