Need a little encouragement to get moving in the right direction? Try our "Future Self" goal setting campaign to help you keep on track!
Here is a template you could use to help you to write your own:
Dear Future Self,
Take a minute and think back over the last year. It's been 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days. 1 year ago at this time you were
____________________ (fill in the blank with things like: just applying to go back to school, just starting school, looking for a new job, finishing your first semester).
1 year ago, you set a goal to ___________________________ (finish your degree, switch careers, start a degree).
Think about where you are today – what you have done in the last 12 months....
Take a few minutes to recognize the successes you have had, the obstacles you have overcome and the good things you have done.
There may be things you wanted to do and haven't done yet – if there is, make a note of that, but focus mainly on congratulating yourself on what went well.
Keep up the good work!!! :) _________Your Name_______________
