How to rewire Your brain for success with future memory

Can you rewire your brain for success? With a little consistency and determination, it can be done.

What if you could train your mind to believe you’ve already achieved your goals, and then watch them unfold in real life?

That’s exactly what award-winning entrepreneur and author Donna Laine shared with me in this inspiring podcast episode. Her technique, called The Remembering Technique, shows how anyone can start to rewire their brain for success with future memories.

What are “future memories”?

The Remembering Technique teaches us a simple but powerful way to ‘remember’ your future, helping it feel as real as if it’s already happened.

Instead of wishing, worrying, or trying to visualise in detail, you step into the feeling of success. You write or speak about your future. This could be a calm meeting, a great exam result, a healthy outcome, as if it’s already done.

Why does it work?

Because believe it or not, the brain can’t tell the difference between imagination and reality.

When you regularly “remember” success, you start creating new neural pathways, literally rewiring your brain for success.

Why it helps

So many of us live in “survival mode,” repeating old patterns and reacting to the past. Remembering future memories offers a way to break that loop. As Donna explained in our podcast episode, you can choose your next thought. And with that choice comes the power to change your future.

Every time you choose a more positive, confident thought, you teach your mind what success feels like, and it begins to make it your new normal.

This is how you rewire your brain for success, one small decision at a time.

Try it yourself with these 3 simple tips

1. Write it down: Grab a journal and write about a future event as though it’s already happened. Things like “I passed my driving test with calm confidence” or “My presentation went perfectly.”
2. Feel it: Don’t just think it, you need to feel the emotions you’d experience if it were true.
3. Repeat it daily: The more you revisit these memories of the future, the more your brain strengthens those success pathways.

But what next?

When you start to rewire your brain for success, you build self-belief and emotional balance. You become calmer, more resilient, and more open to opportunity.

That’s what these podcast episodes are all about, making therapy and personal growth accessible to everyone, helping you understand your mind in simple, practical ways.

So, what will you remember about your future today?
