- Date: april 6th 2023

Dear future me, ...

- Body

- The closing & signature: Much love... Younger you.

1. Choose an age

 

Decide how old you want your future self to be when you read this letter. You may want to read the letter when you’re 18, 25, or 30 years old.

2.Be casual

When talking about your current self in this letter, use “I” language. When talking about your future self in this letter, use “you” language.

3.Summarize your current self

Your letter should start with a quick reminder of who you currently are. Think your recent accomplishments, and current interests. This will allow you to see how much your life has changed since you wrote the letter.

Define your goals and hopes

Write about things that are important to you now. You should also think about what you hope to accomplish in the future, such as travel graduate, travel, have a career.

Adressing your future self

1. 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 become a better muslim or  keep your grades up. Put these goals in your letter to see if you have achieved them in the future.

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.

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? 

If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?
