Assignment begins below. Please take the course of your week to complete. If it takes you longer, that is okay. Be patient with yourself as you thoughtfully think through it all.
Goal
A letter to your “ten year from now” self:
When was the last time you imagined yourself ten years advanced? Have you ever? Let’s look at this person, shall we? Go ahead…take a moment! And now get your pen and paper (or type into word or something but be ready to print) and start writing to who you think you are in ten years. I think this goes outside of your journal because you should put it in an envelope when you are done with the instructions “DO NOT OPEN UNTIL (TODAY’S DATE, 2032)” and your name.
Identify
What goes into this letter? I’m glad you asked! Start with a greeting and temperature check. Tell yourself exactly how you are feeling today and why.
For example: “Hey boo, today is June 17, 2022 and I woke up feeling hopeful for the future because this week has been amazing”
From there, go on to tell yourself all that you are trying to accomplish for the future you that you are writing to. Write any challenges in your way or any of he blessings that have come your way. Include who is in your circle at the time and what they provide. List out how you want life to look when you open this letter in 2032. Write it all out! Every detail! “By now, i’m hoping we bought that Benz we’ve been eye’n and living in LA like we said!” I mean…EVERY DETAIL!
Seal it up, and then put it up. In your safe or your safety deposit box or with documents that you are protecting from fire and flood. (you are protecting documents, right? If not, GO BUY A SAFE TODAY)
Affirmation
I WILL MEET EVERY GOAL I’VE SET.
