We humans have the amazing ability to reflect on the past and look to the future.
One exercise that can help you maintain perspective is to periodically set up an appointment with Future You.
Pay a visit to yourself in one year, three years, or five years. How does your core motivation today reflect your vision of Future You?
You’re probably not surprised that we recommend journaling as a great way to practice this exercise. And yes, this is the last time we’re going to mention journaling.
When you do meet with Future You, don’t be surprised if future people you care about are present as well.
