The researchers call it prospecting the future. And just like miners seek out gold or other valuable resources, prospecting the future means taking a look at our skills, abilities, goals, and dreams and imagining the best future for ourselves. Casting an eye toward how things will look and feel when we accomplish our goals can help us achieve them. In the process, it can boost our well-being and help us manage the darker moods and symptoms of depression.
It’s not magic, of course. With the image of our future selves in mind, we must take consistent action to achieve our goals, but it’s fun to fantasize and as we work to create the lives we want, we can discover the riches within ourselves.
Listen to learn how future casting can help you and how to use the practice of prospecting to uplevel your life.
