A Letter to Yourself
As your coaching assignment nears completion, it’s not unusual to be thoughtful about what’s to come.
“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
Abraham Lincoln
Consider writing yourself a letter. In this letter, capture in as much detail as possible, how you want your life to be. Pick a date in the future that feels right for you, it could be six months or five years – there’s no right or wrong.
Write your letter in email form and set it to ‘delayed send’ on your chosen date.
When writing your letter, consider the following…
Write in the first person, from a position of having achieved everything you’ve set out to achieve
Start by describing where you are, at a specific time and date in your future, outlining the major steps you took to get there
Share details of your successes and achievements along the way, how you achieved them and what your future life is like
There’s no right or wrong way to do this. Start wherever feels right, try not to overthink it, be ambitious, but keep it realistic
Example:
“Dear Adam, It’s November 12th 2025 and I’m on holiday in Greece writing you this letter. The last few years have been an absolute whirlwind (in the best way), and I wanted to update you on what life is like now for me now and all the things I’ve been up to…”
