5 Reasons my future self will be grateful.

A. J. Jacobs from AZ Quotes: Future Self

Lesley Alderman, LCSW suggests building a relationship with the future self. I pay less attention to her than to my guardian angel, who, I’m ashamed to admit, I forget about most of the time.

How I can invest in my future self:

  • avoid the four food groups: fast, fried, frozen and chocolate (heard at WW meeting)
  • move further than from the couch to the cupboard
  • nourish and stretch my minds with substance beyond social media
  • get comfortable with our own company in silence and stillness
  • prioritize people over products

The stronger my bond with my future self, the wiser decisions my present self will make.
