給未來的自己寫封信

When you look back on yourself in the past—10， 20 or more years ago—its surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences， your friends， your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years？ How will you have changed？ Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want in the future.

當(dāng)你10年、20年或更多年后回顧過去時(shí)，你會(huì)吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)，隨著時(shí)光的流逝，你也發(fā)生了很大的變化。你的經(jīng)歷、朋友、家庭和工作造就了現(xiàn)在的你。但是再過幾年你會(huì)在哪里呢？你會(huì)如何變化呢？這樣反思性的寫作，會(huì)是思考未來你想要一種什么的方式。

Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now， then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement， because when you write the letter to your future self， it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.

想象一下，給5年后的自己寫一封信，當(dāng)5年后你打開那封信時(shí)，你會(huì)產(chǎn)生多少共鳴。這是實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的一種有用的輔助工具，因?yàn)楫?dāng)你給未來的自己寫信時(shí)，你會(huì)慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那個(gè)特定時(shí)刻變成什么樣子。

When you open the letter in the future， you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This makes you see in totality how much things have changed since then—and this can be a really intriguing experience. Its interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.

當(dāng)你以后看信時(shí)，你會(huì)把過去的自己和現(xiàn)在的自己進(jìn)行比較。這會(huì)讓你看清從寫信時(shí)起你發(fā)生了哪些變化，這種體驗(yàn)是非常有趣的。光看看從你寫信開始發(fā)生了哪些變化就很有趣了。

What to Write About？

寫什么內(nèi)容好呢？

Look at todays date. Now imagine you writing to yourself， exactly N years from now. What do you want to say to your future self？

看看今天的日期?，F(xiàn)在想象一下你在給N年后的自己寫信。你想對(duì)未來的自己說些什么呢？

How do you want your future self to be like 1 year in the future？

你想讓自己1年后變成什么樣子呢？

What are the different dreams and goals you would want to be realized by then？

到那時(shí)你想實(shí)現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)想和目標(biāo)會(huì)有哪些不同呢？

What is your desired status of the areas of your life wheel at that time？

那時(shí)你想要的人生軌跡和狀態(tài)會(huì)是什么樣的呢？

Once youre done， sign off your name with todays date. Put the papers in an envelope. Seal it. Keep your letter in a safe place.

寫完后，別忘了在名字下面寫上今天的日期。把信紙放在信封里，封上信封，妥善保管你的信件。

Set in your calendar to open your letter 1 year from now. Put this envelope in a safe place where no one can access to it.

在日歷上注明，1年后的今天你要打開這封信。把這封信放在安全的地方，確保別人看不到。

Live your life like youve never lived it before in the next 1 year. Open the letter 1 year later and relish in nostalgia， love and joy as you read the letter from yourself 1 year ago.

在接下來的1年里，好好生活，用嶄新的方式過生活。一年后打開信封，在懷舊卻又愛意滿滿的歡樂氣氛中享受讀信的樂趣。
