Short motivational talk by Dr. Tabatha Barber about envisioning a desired future self and using that vision to set goals and make consistent daily choices. Speaker contrasts stagnant versus thriving future selves, describes working backward from an envisioned daily routine, and emphasizes that small, repeated choices accumulate into major life changes.
There's a version that's 30 pounds heavier and even more tired. There's a version of you kind of stuck and you're the same and you're just still in the pit. And there's a version that is, like, thriving it and loving life and super tone and fit and energized. And you get to decide which path you're going for the future. And so you just decide, what does my future self look like? What is she doing every day? I told myself when I was an obgyn, burnt out, I want to have a cup of coffee. When I see my patients, I want to drink my coffee and have enough time to listen to them and not rush to the next person every 15 minutes. And lo and behold, I created that life. But I first had to envision it to know how to get there. And so you work backward. You figure out, what is she doing every day? What kind of choices does she make? If you want to be this woman, which food is she picking at the restaurant when she goes out, all these tiny little choices stack up. They make a huge difference. So I don't care what your New Year's resolution is or your goal or whatever.
