Write a letter to yourself
When making changes in your life, a technique that you can use that can help focus your mind, as well as provide you with motivation is writing a letter to yourself. The letter is addressed to you at some point in the future, either 6 months or 1 or 2 years time. In the letter you write as if you are living your ideal life with all the changes you wish to make having been made.
Describe your ideal life in detail, where you live, your relationships, your work and the way you feel. Create a visual image using sensory rich detail and emotions. Write as if you are living the life right now in the present tense.
Write it back to yourself, don’t hold back or be reserved about what you have achieved, really let your imagination run wild, have fun with it, don’t sensor it because you think it is too unrealistic.
Write the letter as if it is from a happier more fulfilled you at some point in the future.
Some examples of things you might want to include are;
Dear Yourself,
- I am currently living in …
- It’s nice to have …
- I am …
- I never thought it would be like this …
- It just goes to show …
- Right now my life is amazing …

- I have many …
- Next week I will be …
- Just last week …
- I never thought life could be …
- My ‘####’ is really going really well …
When completed read it back to yourself and pick out a few things that you can start working on straight away. Have fun!
