Summary
What would you say to the future you? I have a little exercise to go along with episode 053 from earlier this week where we talked about becoming your future self and defining what that means. This activity will set in motion plans, good habits, and small wins in order for you to become who you want to be a year from now and beyond.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello everyone. This is Tanya Dalton, owner of Inquell Press, and I'm here to give you another |
| 0:11.2 | episode of The Weekender, a mini episode to help you end your week on the right note. |
| 0:17.7 | This week on the podcast, we talked about your future self and how even though your future |
| 0:23.2 | self is you, somehow to your brain, it doesn't feel like you. So I gave you a free download so you |
| 0:30.5 | could start to envision this future you, the you that you would like to become. And now, today, I want you to do one more quick exercise for |

| 1:36.9 | letter does two things for you. One, it gets you to think about the actions you need to take |
| 1:42.3 | in the next 12 months in order to become |
| 1:44.7 | that future you. |
| 1:46.4 | And two, the more you visualize this future version of you, the more real it will become. |
| 1:52.7 | Don't believe me? |
| 1:54.2 | Some of the most successful people in the world credit visualization as the key element to their |
