Review & Release Ritual | Letter to Your Future Self

The last weeks of 2022 are slipping by, and it is time to look back and check in with ourselves about what made this year unique, challenging, joyful, and all the ways we were deeply touched by experiences, people and places over the past 12 months.

One way to make all these growth experiences even more meaningful is to write about them--Write a letter to your future self, to be opened at the end of next year, that way you will be able to look back and see how much you've learned, and appreciate all the ways in which life changes, evolves, and remember moments of particular joy and beauty.

Remember, it can be whatever you want or need it to be! Once you finish, seal it, Label it "Do not open until December 2023" and keep it somewhere safe. In this way you can let go, stop holding on to everything so tightly, but you also know you have a refresher in store to remind you of important lessons, bring back good memories, and remind you of how far you've come!
