What the future hold?

Hmmm..... what is my next plan for next year? Or maybe 5 years? Or even 10 years later from now?. Hey mates, guess what? You are not alone. Thinking about the future has to be built from now. Some people already have future thinking and plan what to do next but on the other hand, there are a lot of people who don't have a future plan. So we may say the future is full of mystery. Start it now or it will be late later. However, there are several things we could do to make ourselves think about the future.

Forget about predictions. If we have somebody who could predict the future, don't try to believe them. Nobody could predict the massive world we have and what exactly these are going to look like. If somebody predicts the future, it means they focus on one particular event or point.

Motivate us to achieve our goals but in addition, if we do it right. The research has found that positive thinking about our future can backfire. Be professional, don't let your mind fantasise about you without any effort. It makes sense that having optimism could increase our ability to achieve our goals by following a good plan and being ready to act.

Future thinking is about readiness. Thinking about the future is also about imagining. It's about transforming how we think. How ready we are to face a massive world full of challenges. Also, future thinking is about seeing new possibilities. There are a million possibilities out there if we are willing to find it. The future doesn't just happen to us. We have agency in imagining and creating the kind of future we want to live in, and we can take action to get us there.

Alright, being future thinking is not difficult nor easy. It's a skill that we could learn and apply in our life. Our future is full of mysteries but we could imagine how and what will happen after 5 years, 10 years, or even 20 years. Sit down and relax, imagine yourself, make a plan, and catch that plan into reality. Believe me, we could do it. That's all for today, thank you and have a nice day 😀.

About Phubbing

In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected. Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it? Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart...
