Meeting your Best Possible Self

Episode 14: Meeting Your Best Possible Self

Maybe this resonates with you but everyone I'm speaking to at the moment has a refreshing sense of hope for 2022. They feel like this is the year when we’ll emerge from the challenges of the past two and step into the light of clarity and alignment, to be our best selves!

When I talk to the AMotherBrand Community or my coaching clients, there’s a real sense of re-evaluating what’s serving them now, what isn’t and how they can create greater life satisfaction in the year ahead.

Having balance and satisfaction across the different elements of your life is core to wellbeing. The core belief of AMotherBrand is that we can only create a sustainable business around our busy lives and a life we love, if we prioritise our wellbeing.

With this in mind, in today’s episode I am sharing an evidence-based Positive Psychology exercise called ‘Best Possible Self.’

This is a) an enjoyable (and short) exercise b) incredibly supportive in terms of clarifying who you want to be and what you’d like your life to be like and c) super effective in helping you get closer to that vision.

In this episode I explain the science behind how this exercise helps us, how visualisation works and how we can do this exercise for maximum benefit.

Listen to catch these highlights:

3.43 – Why we’ve got to transcend our past to create our future

5:20 - Why nurturing optimism helps us succeed

7:12 - How mentally rehearsing what we want to happen changes things

10:23 - How your creative subsconscious helps you generate ideas to achieve your goal

Do let me know how you find it - I'd love to hear from you! DM me on Insta - @amotherbrand - and let me know what you learned and what you learned about yourself.

Prioritising your wellbeing – by making sure your life is as you’d truly like it to  - is the most effective way to build a sustainable business around your busy life. Having optimum wellbeing is going to make you feel great and do great work, without the fear of burning out.

If you'd like to do a further deep dive into how satisfied you are in the different areas of your life, I've created an in depth free self-coaching package all round a coaching exercise called The Wheel of Life. It's a quick tool to get a snapshot of your levels of life satisfaction now and work out how you'd like to improve it.

* Discover how balanced your life is today

About the Podcast

The AMotherBrand Podcast
Welcome to The AMotherBrand Podcast. I’m Nonie White, former TV producer/director turned mother and entrepreneur.

This podcast exists to empower more women to know that you don’t have to choose between being the mother you want to be and doing work that you love. You can do both, by building a business around your family.

I’m not going to sugar-coat it, starting-up and growing a business around your family isn’t easy but being in control of how you spend your life and what work you do, when and where, is 100% worth it. This podcast is all about helping you embrace a new way of working, one that considers you as a whole person and prioritises your wellbeing, to help you feel good, do great work and thrive.

I’ll be sharing tips about how you can apply the science of wellbeing, Positive Psychology, to help you flourish in life and work, as well as interviewing incredible female founders about how they’ve successfully built their businesses around their families.

Listen to and follow this show wherever you get your podcasts, and remember to share so other mums can find us too!
