You know how a few words of encouragement can completely brighten your day? Do you ever feel like you are always the one encouraging others, but that when you need encouragement no one seems to be around? Well, Germies, keep that encouragement flowing and now, you can include yourself. With futureme.org you can write an email to yourself and have it sent in the future. You can schedule the message to be delivered tomorrow, 50 years in the future, or at any point anywhere between.
It’s kind of an exciting possibility. You are closer to yourself than you are to any other person, and sometimes when you are feeling really good about yourself, it would be nice to reach out to your future self with a virtual hug or high five. Do you want your future self to remember exactly how you are feeling right now? Tell her. Want to remind your future self that if something hasn’t changed in six months or a year it’s time to move on? Tell her. Make yourself a promise and remind yourself to keep it. See what I mean? Possibilities….
Here are some additional dates you might consider to reach out to future you:
High school graduation
Birthday
Recital day
Day of a presentation
Last day of school
Last week of summer vacation
Anniversary of an important event.
If you have a letter to your future self you’d like to share with us, submit it to our Dear Me column. We’d love to hear what you’d love to tell yourself.
