Part2
Addressing Your Future Self
Add things you want to stop, continue, and start doing. Perhaps you want to quit arguing with your siblings or stop biting your nails. Maybe you want to continue going to church every week or keep your grades up. You may want to start volunteering in your community or join a sport or club. Put these goals in your letter to see if you have achieved them in the future.[8]
Give yourself advice. Think about what advice you want to give your future self. Your advice can be simple or complex. Examples include “be nice to Mom,” “invest money in the stock market,” “attend church every week,” “don’t worry so much, everything will be OK,” “take college seriously,” or “save up money for a nice car.” Consider what issues you struggle with currently to help you think of advice for your future self.[9]
Ask yourself questions. These questions should make the current you reflect on what you’ll need to do to become who you want to be, while making the future you reflect on what you’ve done to reach the point you’ll be at. You can ask yourself:
Do you enjoy your job?
What do you do in order to relax?
Who is the most important person in your life?
What is your relationship with your parents like? How do they treat you and how do you treat them?
If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?
