Future You: Finding your focus words for the Future You!

April 20, 2023

We’re all trying to recalibrate our lives following the upheaval of the last few years and setting a positive mindset to look forward and think about your Future You is a healthy approach. Your Future You is the person you want to be, that you want to work towards.

Rather that setting resolutions for 2023, that can be arbitrary measures of success, at PARC we want you to think about what you want to feel like in the next six months. We recommend having a few focus words that can set a future intention and drive your motivation to success.

So, think about what your focus words could be that will help keep you inspired to become the best version of yourself – your Future You! These might include;

CALM – bringing more zen and peace into your life
STRONG – focusing on your strength physically and mentally
BALANCED – ensuring there is a good mix of energy to keep you balanced
EMPOWERED – building your power back
CONTENT – releasing tension to find contentment
RESILIENT – learning how to accept challenges and move forward

Once you have your focus words, write them down, tell a friend or family member or even stick them up around the house to help keep you on the right path.

Throughout February we’ll be providing some advice on a few of these focus words to help you put them into practice and achieve your intention!

Plus, if you want some more accountability at PARC we’re supporting our members by asking them to write a letter to your Future Self that includes these focus words and we will then post to you in the future!

Write a letter to Future You

Write a letter to your future self, and PARC will post it to you in the future – to see how you are tracking against your health goals.By writing this letter and visualising your Future You throughout the year, it will keep you motivated and accountable! Plus, when the letter arrives in the mail, you can see how you tracked against your health goals.

Click here to write your letter via our website!

Let’s kick-start 2023 with a focus on your health and wellbeing. We’re here to help! Enquire now to join PARC.
