Why You Should Write a Letter/ Mail to Your Future Self

Writing a letter to your future self will help you see yourself in a whole new way.

Writing a letter to yourself (3, 5, or even ten years into the future) is the perfect way to let your imagination run wild and dream big. I’m not talking about specific goals (yet) but rather the desire for a bigger, better future.

It is your life, and this is your chance to express your wildest dreams. Giving these dreams a voice will help your thoughts move from present-day thinking to seeing the full potential. In a few short years, you could be living a whole different life. Now is the time for some SMART goals!

SMART goals are goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based. A letter to yourself is the perfect time to spell these out! Write them down and get that energy out into the universe

Don’t wait any longer, grab a pencil and paper (or a computer) and start putting your thoughts to good use! The appreciation for current aspects of your life will feel good. Self-awareness isn’t always easy to find, but it is precious. Even if you don’t believe that you can manifest your destiny, you don’t have anything to lose by trying it out! SMART goals are a proven thing, and you can’t argue with that kind of business logic, right?

1. Who are you, and what do you want in life?
2. How are you going to get there?
3. What actions will you do to get you one step closer every day? What is your biggest dream? Or your greatest regret? The thing you fear the most about your future?
4. Describe your perfect life in detail; explain why those things matter.
5. Remind yourself of the passions that you have put aside because life got in the way. Talk about how you will reclaim them.
