So as my first writing challenge of 2023, I’m assigning you a very simple task.
Have an attempt at writing a letter to yourself - talk about where you are at this current time in your life ( mentally and physically).
Maybe you could write about what you have planned , where you want to be at the end of the year , what you’re looking forward to and things you might want to overcome. Either way , you’ll unintentionally form a beautiful piece of writing.
As I promised you more transparency and vulnerability this year, here is the one I wrote at the beginning of 2022 and it’s fair to say, things materialised. Feel free to use it as a template and if there’s anything you would like to share …you know the rules!✨
Good Luck!🫶🏾
Example:
‘Something feels different’
Dear me,
I’ve done the whole diary thing before but never the ‘letter to me’. It feels so much more intense I guess.
Last year absolutely broke me. I entered 2022 battered, bruised , broken but hungry. Hungry for happiness. Hungry for health , Hungry for success. I entered this year greedy for everything. I deserve all those things & there’s this tingle for positivity I’m too scared to admit because ‘disappointment’.
I don’t know but something just feels different. And not just for me but for everyone & I can’t explain it. I just have hope, a tiny ounce of hope that this year will bring something. I wasn’t in control before but I intend to be this time. Even the things I can’t control , I’ll work hard to ease my mind into a happier place. My potential shadows me daily. My potential is LOUD. My potential will morphe into my achievement , followed by my success story and will be my testimony. I promise to pour love into myself through this process. Something feels different this time, I know it.
