Doing future self favors relies on a heightened awareness of how present decisions echo into your future well-being and happiness.
 It is an approach to decision-making, amplifying the importance
 of considering the long-term impact of your decisions. This is
 counterintuitive to our impulse for instant gratification, but it is a
 thought pattern that can be trained.
 It's not about putting off gratification; it's about making choices
 that align with pursuing your potential. It is a reminder to look
 beyond the moment and to strategically consider the effect of
 your decisions.
 Physical, mental, and emotional well-being are interconnected
 and nurturing these aspects of your self today, form the
 foundation for a healthier and happier future self. Whether it's
 balancing diet, integrating movement/exercise, managing
 stress, or addressing health concerns; each decision becomes
 a favor to your future self’s well-being.
 Remembering to ‘do future self favors’ becomes a compass
 guiding towards a purposeful life experience. Keeping
 curious/learning, skill-building, and seeking experiences that
 contribute to growth are steps towards pursuing your own
 potential, and developing thought tools to navigate life's
 confusion and embrace opportunities.
 In the context of relationships, to "do future self favors" is a
 reminder that connections nurtured today—with family, friends,
 and professional colleagues — form the social system of our
 future self. It involves being present and mindful of how actions
 impact relationship dynamics. Developing a positive social
 community gives a sense of belonging to your future self.
 Long-term planning gives you the roadmap to your future.
 Vision-boarding goals, creating a strategic plan, and making
 decisions aligned with that plan leads to a more intentional and
 purposeful decisions in the now.
 Time management is a intentional effort to invest time wisely -
 balancing work and personal life, reducing stress, and reserving
 time for activities that are fulfilling. Efficient time management ensures that your future self isn't burned out and is able to enjoy life.
 Financial responsibility is another layer of this philosophy,
 reminding you to consider choices in the now, for future
 financial security and goals. Budgeting, saving, investing, and
 mindful debt management are crucial components. Saving a
 security fund and planning for retirement ensure your future self
 is not burdened by financial stress, and able to enjoy the
 benefits of your earlier life decisions.
 Thinking about your future self expands to not just to you but to
 the broader world’s future selves. Making decisions that
 contribute to a sustainable and positive future for the planet and
 society. Whether making environmentally friendly choices or just
 being mindful of how individual decisions impact the collective
 well-being.
 Remembering to do your future self favors — is an  acknowledgment that decisions made now, create our future
 self’s life experience.
 Your future self will thank you.
