Show Notes: Transcript: Letters to Your Future Self Create Joy

Hello, this is your host for the Less Stress More Joy". I am Stephen Carter, CEO of stress solutions.LLC.

This podcast is dedicated to providing 60 to 90 second actions that will help you feel good about who you are and what you do. In this episode, I'm going to make a recommendation that you do something that may seem a little odd. But I guarantee if you do it, you will feel wonderful.

I would like you to take a piece of paper and a pen, not your computer, but a real piece of paper and a pen. And I would like you to start a letter and address this letter to yourself, beginning, "Dear -----",

then add, "I'm sending this letter to my future self. I will be including two lists. The first list is a list of three things that I really like and respect about myself. The second list is a list of three things, three goals, I would love to achieve over the next three months."

That's it, put three things on this sheet of paper that you like and respect about who you are, what you've accomplished in your past. Something perhaps about your values. What do you value? Are you kind; are you considerate; do you say good things; do you say nice things
to family members and to strangers?

Make a list of three thing you really, really like about yourself. And then make a list of three goals. Three things you would absolutely love to achieve within the next three months.

Worry not about how your writing looks. No,, that doesn't matter.

Three things. Write them down. What do you like about yourself as a human being what do you respect about yourself, what kindness you have shown others? Then write three things that you would love to achieve. write those down.

At the conclusion of your letter, write, "With love", and sign your name.

Read over that letter and then fold it up and put it in an envelope. Address it to yourself, place a stamp on it, and mail it. Yes, we are going to use the mail. Mail that letter to yourself.

In three, four, or five days. whenever that letter arrives, open it up and read it. You are going to feel absolutely marvelous.

Try it! You will feel good about yourself. It will put a smile on your face today. It will put a smile on your face during the days to come in anticipation of receiving that letter.

And when you do receive that letter and open it, there will be a big smile on your face and you will feel good.
