The Habit Thrive Podcast ~ Self Care Habits, Mindfulness & Wellness Routines for Women 50 & Beyond

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?

Show your future self the attention and love she deserves!

Love,
