Laura Livermore (00:00)
Welcome back to the Mind Body Manifest podcast. I'm your host, Laura. And today we're diving into a topic that is especially relevant this time of year. Rethinking your Christmas list and aligning it with your future next level self. Now, over the last several years, I have completely transformed the way that I think about my Christmas list. And let me tell you, it has made such a difference in my life.

I stopped spending on things that didn't contribute to my overall wellbeing or the person that I want to become. And instead I started asking myself a powerful question. What would my future self want? Not just for Christmas, but in life. So today I'm sharing with you how you can rewrite your Christmas list in a way that helps you align with your highest self.

manifest growth and create lasting joy in your life. All right, grab your favorite holiday drink, settle in and let's get started. All right, now when I think about how I used to approach Christmas shopping, it was always about like the latest gadgets or trendy clothes or things that I thought I should want.

But as I started to grow and focus more on personal development, I realized something. Most of those things didn't actually make me happier or more fulfilled. They were really just temporary hits of joy that faded. So what if instead of focusing on fleeting desires, we used this holiday season as an opportunity

to connect with the version of ourselves that we want to become. Think about it. Your future next level self isn't chasing more things. She's chasing feelings like abundance, confidence, and fulfillment. And when you align your choices with her, with that version of yourself, your perspective starts to shift. And suddenly,

Your Christmas list, your wish list isn't about stuff. It's about growth and transformation and embodying your highest self now. So how do we do this? How do we turn a Christmas list into a tool for personal growth? Now I want to share some powerful journal prompts, some powerful questions.

that you can ask yourself to rethink the way that you're writing your Christmas list. So number one, what items, experiences or tools would make me feel closer to the version of myself that I'm becoming? My next level self. So think about things that elevate your confidence or help you grow. For example,

Maybe you're upgrading your wardrobe with a piece of clothing that really makes you feel unstoppable or sexy, or it's like an elevated piece. Or maybe it's a course or a workshop, something that helps you hone your skills for the business that you're creating. Or maybe it's, you know, a retreat.

that's empowering you to step into your highest potential.

Another way to do this is ask yourself, if my future self curated this list, what areas of my current life do I need to prioritize? Think about what your goals are in each area of your life. Do you want to improve your mental health? Do you want to be more confident, empowered, and show up more boldly in your life or your business? Or maybe you want to focus on physical health.

Do you want to feel strong or sexy in your body? Or do you want to improve the relationships in your life with your partner or your kids or yourself? Or do you need to prioritize your finances? Maybe you have a money goal you want to reach. Or do you want to focus on being more creative and feeling, feeling fulfilled, living out your purpose, figure out which areas of your life

you want to improve or focus on in order to be your future higher self. Then ask yourself, how can my wish list reflect the lifestyle habits or energy that I want to embody in the coming year that will help me get to those goals? For example, if you want to prioritize your physical health, add fitness gear.

or a membership to a yoga studio or a healthy cookbook. If you're leaning into creativity, maybe it's art supplies or a musical instrument. If you want to prioritize your mental health, maybe you add a meditation app or mindset coaching to your wishlist. If you want to improve your relationship with your partner, maybe you put down

therapy or a book on relationships. And if you want to wake up earlier to do a morning alignment ritual, maybe you put down a special journal.

What practical things would help me show up as my most authentic self daily? Okay, so that's the next question you can ask yourself. Sometimes the most transformative tools are super simple, like a planner, a beautiful planner to help organize your thoughts and your goals. Or maybe it's skincare products that make you feel

radiant or even a set of affirmation cards to start your mornings with intention.

And then the last question you can ask yourself are what are desires or gifts that would inspire me to take bolder steps towards my goals and dreams? Okay. So think about things that push you out of your comfort zone, like a public speaking class or a women's empowerment conference or

an accountability program that helps you to take action. I just want you to take a moment to sit with these questions. Tune into the version of you who is living the life that you desire. What would she put on her list? What are the things that are gonna help her to evolve, grow, transform?

Or maybe you don't really want things at all. Maybe instead you focus on experiences for 2025 that enrich your life, nourish your soul, or expand you in different ways. So instead of writing down a wish list of things, you get clear on an experience or maybe it's multiple experiences you want to invest in.

And you could tell others that if they want to get you something to just contribute financially towards that experience. So it could be, maybe you want to attend a summit or a conference on a topic that you're really excited about, or a retreat that empowers you. You know, I host retreats, so I am the biggest proponent of attending retreats. They are truly.

life-changing or maybe it's a trip to somewhere that really inspires you. think traveling can expand you and open up just a different perspective for you that can really change your life. So maybe it's traveling somewhere really expansive for you, or maybe you want to go see one of your favorite motivational speakers like

Brene Brown or Abraham Hicks or Deepak Chopra, or maybe you just want tickets to go see your favorite band or your favorite musical artists because the energy high that you get by being there is like nothing else you can explain. I really believe that music can be so, so healing and sometimes experiences

can elevate you in ways that things just can never do. So here's the thing. Becoming your future self, your higher self, doesn't just happen, right? It takes intention and effort. But the good news is that even small, simple steps like rewriting your wish list can make a huge difference.

And when you align your desires with your goals and values, you're creating a roadmap for growth. This really is going to help set you up for massive up levels in 2025. So for me, one of the things that I added to my list this year is investing in marketing and business coaching, because these are tools that are really going to help me.

Not just for 2025, but for years to come. So what about you? What is one thing that your future self would want you to prioritize? Here's my challenge for you this holiday season. I want you to rewrite your Christmas list with intention. Make it a love letter to your future self, helping you to step into more

growth, more joy, more authenticity, more expansion. And once you've done that, I'd really love to hear from you. Share what it is that you are adding to your Christmas list for 2025.
