I’ve been journaling to my future self. I start it off by saying something like: Dear Future Me, I hope you’re well. I’m not too well today, but I’m going to push through today and do what I need to do for you, so you can say that you are happy because of what I did today.
It’s been helping me a lot. It’s been helping me push through my days. Whatever decisions I make for myself today is going to affect future me and I want future me to happy. Or at least content. To be stable. To want to live and not die.
I’m just throwing this idea out there, in case it helps someone else.
