{1.1c1c} you need to commune with your future to understand your self
topics: [[identity]],[[time]]
Shows where you want to go, where you’re likely headed if you continue down the current path, what your alternatives are.
Making plans or promises, setting goals, making an agreement are all examples of when we anticipate what our future self might do, think, or feel. Will she want to follow-through on that plan? Will she want to keep that promise?
We can become more intentional in this process by asking her.
Although you can’t tell the future, you can read your own mind. What does it tell you?
This is key, IMO, to self-advocacy and honesty with oneself.
When you dialogue with your future self, you have a deeper understanding of your underlying desires and are more invested in getting them.
