Go Back to the Future to Uplevel Your Interactions

Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies.

The idea that you could travel back in time to interact with your former self is something a lot of us would like to be able to do. Would you change anything? That’s a tricky question to answer.

It is hard to say what interactions have ripple effects that shape our future. Some we might want to change and others not.

What if you could use this concept now to take your interactions with others to the next level?

Here’s the concept.

Let’s say you come in from work and your 9-year-old daughter is sitting there playing barbies. You pat her on the head and wander into the kitchen to get a drink.

What if you could look back on this interaction 9 years from now when she’s leaving for college? What would you change about it?

There are many moments in time when we cruise by on autopilot. If we would just take the time and be more intentional by stopping and quickly asking ourselves

“How would my future self wish this would have gone?”

we could take our interactions to the next level.

Instead of looking back and wishing things would have gone differently take a few seconds to look forward so that you can change things now.

Sometimes a small tweak can make all the difference in how things go.
