Hello loves,

I hope that you are having a wonderful week! 

In this video I talk about "Possible Selves," a theory developed by Markus and Nurius in 1986. This theory describes the possibilities that we were raised with (whether we are expected to go to college, or the career paths that are acceptable to go into, or the type of family you will have), an how these possibilities actually shape who you are.

You can use this theory to better yourself, but not without revisiting your current possible selves.

I also give you an exercise that you can try at the end of the video - identify at least two of your current possible selves, and then two of your intentional possible selves. 

For example, are all your possible selves focused around
