In addition , when you write your letter , your consciousness is stored in the very words you use . When you read it , it ? s like you are in contact with the old you . It gives you perspective and lets you see how much you have grown / changed since then .
How to Write Your Letter :
While you can write to your future self from any time period , I recommend to start off with a one year time frame . This way it ? s easier to project your goals , and it also gives you a comfortable time frame to take action .
Refer to today ? s date .
- Imagine writing to your future self exactly one year from now . What do you want to say to him / her ? Some consideration points : - What do you want your future self to be like one year from now ? - What are the different goals and dreams you want realized by then ? - What is your desired status for your life wheel areas ? Career / Business / Studies ? Money / Wealth ?
Family ? Friends ? Love ? Health ? Spirituality ? Recreation ? Contribution ? Self-Image
Once you ? re done , sign off with your name and today ? s date . Keep your letter in a safe place .
- Put the papers in an envelope . Seal it . - On the cover , write ? To [ Your Name ]. To be opened
"[ Date ]? the date that ? s one year from now . - Set an appointment in your calendar to open your letter one year from now . - Put this envelope in a safe place where no one can access it .
Live your life like you ? ve never lived it before ! Work on the goals that you wrote about . Then open and read your letter one year from today . For your letter format , you can either write a physical letter or type it . I used to write my letters using pen and paper , but I ? ve since switched to typing and then printing out the final copy ( this way I have a backup ).
You can use FutureMe . org , an online time capsule service that sends information to a specified email address at any point in the future . My issue with using such a service is that you never know who has access to your letters , and your letter will be gone forever if the website / service ever gets shut down .
Opening My Letter From My Past Self ( 2008 ) I wrote two letters to myself on February 10 , 2008 . The first letter was to my future self one year from then , on February 10 , 2009 . The second letter was to my future self five years from then , on February 10 , 2013 .
A week ago ( Feb 2009 ), I opened my first letter . It was a fascinating experience reading it as it felt like my younger self was talking directly to me .
Reading my letter , it was interesting noticing what I was like in the past and how much I have changed . One of the biggest changes was my materialistic tendencies . While I was not a very materialistic person when I wrote my letter in 2008 , I have become less materialistic since , given my revelations on my relationship with material wealth and goods . My consciousness is also higher , which is not surprising as
