143: Writing a "Future Me" Letter - How to use this simple habit to get things done, reduce stress, and celebrate your win

  • Summary

  • Dear Future Podcast Listeners,


    Today is the day!


    Today is the day we explore the habit of writing future me letters.


    This simple but transformative habit practice can help you:


    ✓ be more focused

    ✓ plan ahead

    ✓ get more done

    ✓ feel less overwhelm

    ✓ celebrate success


    And you are worth it!


    If this is a new concept for you, I know you may have some questions - and that is OK!


    I'm here to help.


    So, WHAT is a "Future Me" Letter?


    Simply put: It's a letter, charged with energy and intention, that you write to your future self.


    But WHY should I write a "Future Me" Letter?


    It provides your future self with guidance, encouragement, and motivation for a specific moment in time and helps you stay accountable, track progress, and reflect on your goals, mindset, and personal growth.


    OK, so HOW do I write one?


    Just write!


    Take pen to paper, and tuck it away somewhere you can pull it out later.


    Schedule an email to be delivered to yourself on a certain date.


    Just be sure to acknowledge how you are feeling, make a plan to keep feeling the same - or better! - and set some intention for the future.


    (And don't forget to be kind to your future self with some self-compassion and love!)


    Finally, WHEN do I write one?


    As with many habits or routines we discuss on the Habit Thrive Podcast, the answer is: Whenever feels right to you.


    • as a seasonal habit

    • whenever you have an event happening

    • to prepare for a trip

    • to mark a milestone in a personal journey you're taking

    • as a little note-to-self every morning


    Intrigued?
