Have you ever taken the time to write a letter to your future self? It’s one of the best exercise’s where you get to imagine the person you think you will be. The goal is to write it, post it to yourself (sorry e-mail’s not gonna work here), and set a date for however may years in the future to open and read it. I like to do 10 years, 5 years, sometimes 20 years from now. Who will I be? Will I live in the US? Will I be married with kids?… The big takeaway here is that life never turns out the way we think, and we can learn so much about ourselves by these kinds of rituals. I find the best day to do this is on my birthday, cause there’s no time like getting a day older to remind you to set some goals and dreams. Take direction, think big, and remember no matter how it turns out theres always next year!
