Dear Future Self (I Am Here For You)

Today is about sending well wishes of appreciation to our ‘future self’. We may find it beneficial to get a pen and paper ready. That’s because we will be sending affirmations to ourselves in the future. We will start with the introduction to settle me in, a simple practice to get grounded, then I will get to use these affirmations in a letter, acknowledging and honoring my future self, as well as me, here, now, gently following these words.

Dear future self,

I am here for you.

Today you get to listen to a letter written to your future self.

Dear future self,

I am here for you.

Relax,

Give yourself the right to be here now.

Let's drop into this.

6 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 I choose me first.

Honoring my challenges,

Honoring myself,

Honoring my growth,

And honoring my future self.

Dear future self,

As I gently listen to these words,

I am grateful that I have carved out this space for me to close my eyes and connect to you.

As I tune into you from a grounded and connected heart space,

I bridge the gap between my present actions and my future aspirations.

Dear future self,

I am here for me,

And you are here for you.

We are inseparable.

Dear future self,

I am guiding your future actions in this very moment,

And you are guiding mine.

Dear future self,

I am committed to making choices today that will resonate positively with you tomorrow.

Dear future self,

We know what we have been through,

And we know that I am the only one who can truly know this,

Because I am you.

Dear future self,

We know that I am the one person who can truly be there for myself,

No matter what,

If I choose to be.

We are worthy of meaningful connection.

I am intentionally investing in you right now,

Because I am worthy of this.

I am here for you,

Building a foundation of inner strength,

Purpose,

And fulfillment in the future.

And despite the tough times,

Right now,

I choose to declare my connection to me and my connection to you.

I choose to remember that we disconnect,

So that we can reconnect.

You and me are the we.

We do this because we deserve these meaningful encounters,

My dear future self.

Yes,

We do.

And despite the thoughts that come up within my mind that tell me otherwise,

I declare deep down that we are worthy of this.

I make a declaration of self-appreciation right now.

A declaration of self-care right now.

A declaration of self-compassion right now.

And whether or not my mind agrees with this,

I know this is an act of self-love.

And I know at the depth of my core that I deserve this.

And so,

Dear future self,

I choose to remember that we are inseparable.

I choose to remember this meaningful connection that I can have with you when I carve out a little moment for myself.

In gentle prayer.

In gentle prayer.

Thank you for serving as a powerful driving force in my life right now.

Thank you for supporting me through my distractions and temporary setbacks.

Thank you for being my spiritual guide.

Steering me away from things that don't serve me.

And steering me towards things that do.

Dear future self,

I am here for you.

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you.

I loved it 🥰 Do you have a playlist that has “Notes to self”

Dear Reuben, I wanted to listen and, needed to listen to this this morning. It made me so aware of my connection to my ever-present self and I immediately felt a sense of relief and calm, and of course brought in a smile! Thank you always and always Reuben🤍🙏❤️

I have only scratched the surface with this meditation. The implications are profound. The revelation of possibilities intense. Clearly, I started in the right place this morning!

Wow! I’m a big fan of Reuben’s work. For me these meditations, courses and affirmations and prayers, are simply the best. Need to listen to them every day. A big thank you Reuben! 😄
