Future self journaling examples

When writing about the ideal you of the future, you can focus on many different areas of life. It’s ok to cover everything you can think of, from finances to love to health. There’s no such thing as thinking too big.

Here are some examples of how to write about your future self.

  • My future self is healthy and makes healthy, self-loving choices. She feels confident, energetic, and accepting of herself.
  • I am becoming a successful business owner making more money than I ever imagined.
  • My future self is in love with my ideal person. The future me says “Don’t worry, relax and know love is coming!”
  • I continue to grow into the woman I know I truly AM.
  • I am blessed beyond what I thought possible. My future self is in awe!

How to do future self journaling

To do future self journaling, simply find a quiet place that is free of distractions and begin. Pour your heart out, and hold nothing back.

Be completely honest with yourself, and don’t limit yourself in any way.

Know that if other people can create amazing futures, despite their struggles, so can you.

Let me give you a personal example. There was a time I wondered if I’d ever met the right person. I struggled so much in relationships. I was so sad and heartbroken by a past love, plus I was an absolute trainwreck in other ways.

But I journaled the future I saw for myself: Married, kids, write a book, have lots of BBQs, etc.

That was 15 years ago. I’ve been happily married now for almost 13 years, have 3 kids, a book, and BBQ frequently. You can have what you want too, my friend.

How mindset creates your future

Because you have the power to change your mindset, you have the power to change so much about your life. When you change your mindset, you change the energy you are giving off. And importantly, your actions and life choices change, too.

If you can hold a mostly positive mindset, then you can emit mostly positive energy. You can create a better reality with your choices and who you attract.

A positive mindset can help you grow into your ideal self. There’s a saying by Dr. Wayne Dyer (RIP) that says:

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Ultimately, you hold the key to being your best self. You can improve any aspect of your life. You can align with and manifest your desires.

So when journaling for your future self, you are journaling for the best version of you that you have the power to create starting right now, in this very moment.

Concluding thoughts for the future

Journaling about how to become your ideal future self can be incredibly powerful.

Planning and dreaming about your ideal future doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate things as they are. Or that there is anything wrong with you or your life now. It just means you love yourself and want to grow, evolve, and live to the fullest.

We all have plenty of room to grow because we are all infinite beings. Self-growth is a wonderful thing!

There is so much you can uncover about your hopes, dreams, and goals when you start to journal. In fact, journaling can be one of the most powerful practices to gain clarity and make progress in your life.

Journaling can help you manifest your ideal future self because journaling is akin to casting spells. That’s why writing is called “spelling.” So, why not cast yourself into a beautiful future?
