Letter To My Future Self – The Secret To Living Your Dream Life
Want to start living your dream life today? You need to start by writing a letter to my future self. Here’s how to do it.
Let’s chat about your letter to my future self.
I’m sure you already know enough about the world and human potential to know that you have what it takes to live a life you truly desire.
Of course that doesn’t mean a perfect life will appear for you at the click of a finger.
An amazing life where you are living out your dreams will NEVER EVER JUST FALL STRAIGHT INTO YOUR LAP.
Instead it will require lots of hard work and discipline.
The best place to start is to have a pretty clear idea of what it will take to live the life you desire.
So pull out a pen right now and simply start a letter that begins with:
Dear Future Self.. Tell me what I need to know…
Now imagine that your future self could write back to you.
What would they say?
Hey, my friend! I’m so glad you decided to check in with me. Have you noticed that you are doing so many things wrong? Here’s what you need to do to get your life back on the right track ASAP…
With love – signed YOUR FUTURE SELF
Trust me, if you ask this question the answer will usually be there inside of you.
Your brain can quickly give you an accurate picture of the person you need to become to create the change you desire.
All you have to do is ask.
Once you have this answer, you can begin living as that person today.
Yep, that’s right. You don’t have to wait.
You can think, act, and adopt the beliefs of a fit person, someone with a great social circle, or whatever type of person you are – the one in your dreams.
Look to the future to change your present with these strategies:
LETTER TO MY FUTURE SELF
1 – Look ahead and visualize the life you’d like to have.
Imagine yourself 10 years from now living the life of your dreams.
Notice how you feel and behave.
Imagine how you deal with your average day.
What would your future self be telling you to do?
What changes would they be recommending you make?
Hey, my friend! Hope you don’t mind me pointing out a few changes that you really should make in your life right now. Like all the junk food you like to eat? You better ditch that habit now. Lack of exercise? It’s not helping your waistline. And so on and so on and so on….
With love – signed YOUR FUTURE SELF
Imagine the income, physique, social life, relationship, and so on that you’d like to have.
What do you eat each day?
How much do you exercise?
What type of exercise do you do?
What are your attitudes and beliefs around diet and exercise?
How much money do you make?
How do you make it?
What are your saving and spending habits?
Think about your future social life.
How many friends do you have?
How often do you go out?
Where do you go?
How do you manage that social circle?
How often do you communicate with them?
If your ideal future includes a partner, how do you manage that?
What do you do each day to keep your relationship strong?
Consider the habits and hobbies you’d have, too.
LETTER TO MY FUTURE SELF
2 – Take a look at your current life and behavior.
Contrast the above with your current life.
Take particular note of the differences in how you behave and think today versus your future self.
What changes do you need to make?
Remember if you don’t know – your future self has the answers!
LETTER TO MY FUTURE SELF
3 – List the behaviors you would like to incorporate into your life to match your future self.
If you can think and act the same way, you’ll eventually attain the same results.

4 – Begin making the changes.
Start slowly and only make a couple of changes at first.
You might decide to cut out the crappy food, go to the gym three times a week, and go out once a week with a friend.
Or, you might decide to review your goals each night, keep a journal, and start meditating.
Once the first set of habits starts to stick, add a few more.
LETTER TO MY FUTURE SELF
5 – Adopt a new mindset.
When you’re faced with a decision or challenge, ask yourself what your future self would do in the same situation.
Begin making decisions this way and see what happens.

6 – Expect resistance.
It won’t be easy to approach life with a new perspective and new behaviors.
It will feel uncomfortable at first, but that’s good.
That’s how you know you’re making progress by stepping outside your comfort zone.
When you do something uncomfortable, your life can change.
When you do the things you’re used to doing, things stay the same.
That’s comfortable, but that’s not progress.
Why wait 10 years to begin acting and believing a certain way?
You can start right now and speed up your progress considerably.
Imagine yourself living your ideal life 10 years from now and simply adopt the same habits, behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs.
Write a letter to future self sharing all the changes that you have needed to make to help this transformation happen.
Be as specific as possible.
Success will come quicker than you ever imagined.
Go on – grab a pen right now and write that letter to your future self.
Remember you will only see results if you take action.
