When we are going through something hurtful, distressing, disappointing, we exacerbate the pain by falling into the trap of believing that the distress will continue indefinitely and that this one experience will have a detrimental impact on our lives.

But studies have shown that we are actually poor at predicting how present events will affect our future emotional states and tend to overestimate the future impact of present negative events.

This practice will help you connect with your future self and gain perspective about your current situation.
