Imagine yourself at some future date—one month, one year, 10 years, whatever feels right—when you have fully realized your most important goal, resolved some difficulty you are going through, or made peace with something you are struggling with.
Imagine what this feels like and looks like in your everyday experience. Then write a letter to your present self from this future self.
•Acknowledge and appreciate everything you did to get to where you are at this future point in your life, including anything that has already happened and anything you hope will happen.
• Let your future self express gratitude to the self who did (and will do) these things for you.
• Offer your present self some compassionate words of wisdom for overcoming any present challenges.
• Tell your present self the good that your future self sees in him/her, and the strengths that will help your present self become your future self.
