Notes To My Future Self: I Am Here For You

We start with listening to a letter of appreciation to our ‘future self’. This is as though we have written it ourselves. It may be useful to get a pen and paper ready. That’s because we will also be sending affirmations to ourselves in the future. We will start with the introduction to settle us in, a simple practice to get grounded, then we will get to use these affirmations, acknowledging and honouring our future selves.

Dear future self,

I am here for you.

We are going straight into our countdown and then 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.

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

Honouring my challenges,

Honouring myself,

Honouring my growth and honouring 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.

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

I throw you some heart bombs into the future.

One day,

One week,

One month into the future,

They are there for you right now,

My dear future self.

Because I know that we will need them for when times are tough.

As you choose to guide me right now on a purposeful journey,

I carve out a life full of meaningful encounters by settling this gentle intention.

As I align with you,

I am seeing life right now with more clarity and awareness.

As I see this life of meaningful connection,

I tune into you right now with appreciation for you,

And you tune into me right now with appreciation for me.

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.

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,

To honor our connection.

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.

I choose me first.

Honoring my challenges,

Honoring myself,

Honoring my growth,

And honoring my future self.

I choose me first.

My dear future self,

There you are.

I choose you right now.

All is well.

I appreciate the you that will show up for me.

Thank you.

I choose to accept myself with a pause and a gentle half smile from time to time.

I'll do this to honor the choosing of me first.

To honor myself.

This is me.

Here I am.

Dear future self,

I choose to accept myself with a pause and a gentle connection to my breath from time to time.

I'll do this to honor my challenges,

To honor my growth.

This is me.

Here I am.

Dear future self,

I'll do this to honor you,

My future self.

Honoring my growth.

And honoring my future self.

Reviews

I find this a profound track.
Although I believe that I can only be, right now, I know that there is a future self.
I have found myself writing recently to my future self, hoping the words I write will help me at a time that I need them. Hoping that my future self will speak words I am unable to think, if I become depressed. Words of reassurance, hope and advice.
Perhaps this track is also poignant as I am three score years and ten and know that a future me may be sick or dead. I have therefore written letters to my three children and my husband for them to read at these times. Letters expressing my love and feelings now, for them, in the future.
I am the future me of the past me, we are and always will be irrevocably intertwined. I honour myself for my ongoing journey.
This track is mind provoking and much needed. Thank you Reuben.
🙏

Love this track and the sound effect from the background, it’s so refreshing and more experiential touch, thank you Reuben 😊

Fantastic! Deep! Very helpful 💜
Love that ‘declaration of self love’ part 🌸
Namaste dear Reuben 🙏🧚‍♂️🙏

Loved hearing the pencil write. It helped change my perception. One that leaves a higher vibration. I need to listen to this once a day! Thank you 🙏🏼.
