Reinventing your Futures, changing your life almost completely is not for everybody. It is not for when life got one on you, but the score is more like 6-0.

As Personal Futurist I do hope you are not in a situation at your life, this resonates idea with you. However, if it does resonate, know that lives and futures can be reinvented. If the life really knocked you down, there are futures to be reinvented by you. 

It is too much to say, that the past would not determine anything in your futures. It will always be the groundwork of your experience. 

But will it determine everything? Only if you let it. You. With that notion, the "who" is clear. Now let´s take a look at the why´s and how´s to bring some clarity in this topic.

The why´s of Reinventing your Futures

I will be the first to say; Reinventing your Futures Beyond Comeback is not for the most. Sometimes though, a life change of that caliber it may be the only option. To collect your courage and resilience to change your course of futures so radically, it will feel like reinvention of the futures you thought you had.

For me it was the collapse of my futures after the bankruptcy of my family business, which had essentially been the backbone of my life and identity since the childhood. The losing of possessions and income was not even the worst. Losing the community, my sense of self, confidence and the direction of life was much more difficult. 

I had gotten so lost I had no idea who I was or what I was heading toward. 

Enough about me, for you it might be something else:

  • "losing your futures" An experience of loosing those futures you thought you had. A significant loss of relationship, way of life, home, health, anything futures changing you find hard to come to terms with and struggle to find hope.
  • "is this really the future I am heading?" Questioning your role in the a community, noticing that the life you live does not feel like yours, your perception of life changing, questioning the direction you are heading with your life.
  • "What the hell is going on?" Life changing, eye opening existential crisis, or something that feels like a personal failure you have to come to terms with.
  • Hitting a wall of anything. It may be physical or mental limits you are being forced or forcing yourself to cross. Strong emotions or numbness, understanding this is not the way you can live anymore. Looking to develop your mindset and upgrade your coping mechanisms to mastery of capasity.
What unites people, who will resonate with the idea of Reinventing their Futures is the intuition and understanding that not only something, but almost everything needs to change.

The Four Stages of Reinventing you Futures Beyond Comeback.

Beyond Comeback is a method, which will become part of your mindset.

1st Stage of your Journey of Reinventing your Futures is to Reclaim yourself - your energy, inspiration and agency.

Reignition is where we begin, because it opens an endless source of finding inspiration for finding fuel for the journey. During your Reignition, you will get the chance to become the futures researcher of your own life and futures. You´ll learn the dynamics of a systemic approach to human systems, personal futures, and finding new, interesting, emerging signals relevant to your futures. 

Resilience is the obvious and essential second step, because this is where all the balance and well-being of your future lies. During Resilience, you will learn to construct a holistic approach and practise in your life. This will comprise everything from your physical and mental balance to the ways you communicate internally with yourself and externally with the people and developments around you.

2nd Stage is to Reframe the histories to create understanding, knowledge and wisdom

Recognition is the third session, where you will take a compassionate look at yourself. During your Recognition, you will peel the layers of your experiences, consciously and without any rush, and begin to find the perspectives not yet taken. Here you will learn to understand what actually happened and how to turn it into your unique experimental wisdom. 

Recovery is the essential fourth session, providing you with lessons to be learned with pride and accountability, grounding your strong futures. During Recovery, you will take accountability and agency, which will also give you the power and strength to change your direction. You will free yourself of being determined by your failures or your past, but you will proceed to re-determine them. Responsibly, and by giving them a reframed, balanced weight and meaning in the following stages of reinventing your futures.

3rd Stage is proceeding to Reimagine the Futures 

Rediscovery is the fifth overall session where you will construct possible, inspiring and preferable futures for yourself. During your Rediscovery, you will take the findings of your explorations and use your developed steering capacity to fearlessly construct new, possible future images and scenarios and backcast to see the steps to be taken to pursue these futures. 

Reliance is the sixth session, designed to strengthen your self-reliance in pursuing futures that are interesting and meaningful to you. During Reliance, you will use the understanding, increased self-acceptance, and trust you have gained during your journey to ensure that you are ready to proceed Beyond Comeback. You will harness your courage and identify an external support system you can trust on your Journey of Reinventing your Futures.

4th Stage is the Reinvention in action

Recreation is the seventh overall session where you will experiment with your futures images and visions by bringing them as part of your real, everyday life. During your Recreation, you will put action into your images and begin making them part of your life. As recreation should be, we let this be fun, low-threshold, trial-and-error type of development. 

Repeat is the eighth session, designed to teach you to use all the experience you gain to refine your approach through a dialogue with your environment. During Repeat, you will use the understanding you have collected throughout the earlier stages, because the experimentation will constructively challenge your direction and determination.

Beyond Comeback is not only a method - it is the foundation of your Futures prepared mindset.

Reinventing your Futures will also invite you to iterate on this journey or on parts of it. Most likely, some of the later discoveries of your Journey will inspire you return to earlier stages to gain a deeper understanding than you did the first time around. 

Life and experience are often layered - your capacity will not allow you to proceed to deeper layers until you have experienced the previous ones. Luckily, this same framework has been designed serve you layer by layer. 

Over your Journey, the stages and sessions will contribute to your personal Beyond Comeback - mindset. It will be your way of practising futures literacy in your life. Embracing the change instead of escaping it. The more rounds of iteration you take, the stronger your preparedness for the future will become.
