Notes :

Letter-writing exercises require you to reflect on who you are, who you were, and who you aspire to be. Writing letters may be a great outlet for your feelings and a useful tool for analyzing your current situation for insights into how you should proceed. There are many different kinds of letters you can write to yourself; here we'll focus on just two:

Writing a letter to your future self

This activity is about imagining where you are and who you are going to be sometime in the future Five years is often used as the point in the future to envision as it is both far enough away that your life could be completely different, but close enough for it to seem tangible

This letter will focus on who you want to be and what you have accomplished between now and then

DearPastSelf

DearFutureSelf

This activity is about looking back at the person you were with the information you have now As with writing letters to your future self, five years is often used as the point in the past to look back to –it provides sufficient distance for change to have happened but close enough to be tangible and within your memory.

This letter will focus on what you advice you would give your past self and tell them about what has happened between then and now.
