The Homework: Take a few minutes today to do one of the following:

1. Write a letter to your 18-year old self.
2. Write a letter to your 34-year old self.
3. Write a letter to your 74-year old self.

As you write one of these letters, notice the emotions that come up. Do you feel hopeful or nervous, anxious, or regretful? Take a little time to reflect on what that means and what you can do now to change.
