What is time travel and how is it related to creating your dream lifestyle after 60?
Outside of storytelling mediums such as books, movies, and television series, time travel is widely viewed as impossible in the real world.
But is it impossible?
There was a time when all of us could time travel.
Do you remember how we did it?
As adults, we often lose this ability, letting logic and limiting beliefs dictate what we think is possible. However, when we reignite the power of childhood imagination, we can travel forward in time and experience our dream lifestyle as if it is happening now.
So, how do you time travel? And what kind of lifestyle will you travel into?
We will answer these questions in our fourth article and video of a new, 12-part exclusive series for Sixty and Me readers titled “Visualize a Vibrant New Lifestyle After 60.”
There Are Truly No Limits
Time traveling to your dream lifestyle is based on the understanding that your childhood imagination was never bound by time or physical limitations.
Visualizing as if your dream life is already happening bridges the gap between imagination and reality. Here, you begin to rediscover the true power of your childhood imagination, as it is not bound to the constrictions of time or the density of gravity.
There are truly no limits to what you can achieve when it comes to your childhood imagination. This is easily demonstrated when you visualize a future reality in the present moment.
Where the Lifestyle of Your Dreams Lives
The practice of traveling to your dream life through visualization can be a stretch for many of us at this stage of life.
This is due to decades of limiting beliefs and society’s outdated belief system about aging adults. To make the most of this exciting visualization practice, you will want to understand its immense benefits.
Time travel to your desired lifestyle delivers numerous benefits to all areas of your life. Some of the most important is that it removes limitations, activates self-belief, and accelerates your desired manifestations.
Using the power of your childhood imagination to step into your dream future aligns your thoughts, emotions, and actions with the lifestyle you desire.
For these reasons and more, time traveling to your dream lifestyle helps you more easily and joyfully navigate the path to where the life of your dreams lives.
5 Easy and Fun Ways to Time Travel to Your Lifestyle
To further help you master time traveling to your dream lifestyle, I’m going to share with you my five go-to steps I not only teach in my online courses but that I personally use to time travel to the future lifestyles I dream of.
Step 1: Write and Record a Future Self Narrative
Close your eyes and imagine yourself living your ideal lifestyle. In your journal, write a detailed, first-person account of a perfect day in that future. Where are you? Who are you with? What are you doing?
I also recommend that you record yourself reading this narrative aloud. You can listen to it daily to immerse yourself in your new, vibrant lifestyle.
Step 2: Create a “Future You” Vision Box
Find a small box or container and fill it with objects representing your future lifestyle.
This can include a handwritten letter from your future self, a symbolic object, such as a key for a dream home or a passport for future travel, a piece of fabric, scent, or sound that reminds you of your dream lifestyle, or a photo or quote that embodies your vision.
Keep this box visible and interact with it daily to reinforce your future reality.
Step 3: Dress, Walk, and Speak Like Your Future Self
Each morning, ask yourself: “How would my future self present herself today?”
Speak about your goals and dreams as if they are already unfolding. Instead of saying, “I want to travel someday,” embody your dreams by saying, “I am becoming a world traveler.”
Dress to reflect your dream identity and walk with the confidence of someone who already has what they desire. Even small changes like wearing a new color or accessory while making subtle adjustments to how you move can profoundly impact how you ease into your new lifestyle.
Step 4: Set a Daily “Time Travel” Meditation
Set a timer for 5-10 minutes daily. Choose a quiet space or put on noise-cancelling headphones. Close your eyes and imagine stepping into the future version of yourself who is already living your dream lifestyle.
Experience it with all five senses. When you allow yourself to see, feel, smell, hear, and taste that experience it will expand the immersive quality of the meditation.
End by expressing gratitude as if it has already happened.
Step 5: Use Future Self-Affirmations
These will help bridge the gap between who you are now and who you are becoming. Here are three of my personal favorites:
- “I am already living my dream life, and every day it unfolds effortlessly.”
- “My future self is guiding me, and I trust the journey ahead.”
- “I embody the confidence, wisdom, and success of my future self.”
These are not your run-of-the-mill affirmations. Future Self-Affirmations are incredibly powerful statements that help you mentally, emotionally, and energetically align with the version of yourself already living your dream life.
