Breaking Free from the 75% Thought Loop: and building habits for your future self faster

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, making the same decisions day after day despite your best intentions to change?

You're not alone.  

In this episode we'll explore this fascinating fact how 75% of our daily thoughts are nearly identical to yesterday's, creating a cycle that keeps us living in our past rather than growing into our future. 

Discover groundbreaking research that shows people with a close, friendship-like relationship with their future self make demonstrably better decisions today. Brain scans reveal that different neural pathways activate when we think about our future self as a friend rather than a stranger. This connection translates into healthier eating, better financial choices, and greater life satisfaction. I share insights from John Sonney's powerful "The Bridge" meditation technique that helps strengthen this crucial connection between your present and future selves. 

The key to meaningful change, bringing our future selves into the present sooner lies in understanding the psychology of habit formation.  

Whether you're struggling with health goals, productivity habits, or leadership development, these evidence-based techniques will help you bring your future self into your present reality much faster.
