✨ This is part of a series designed to help you prepare for an amazing 2025. ✨
Imagine it’s the end of 2025.
Write a letter, telling you how your year has gone.
✉ What has changed?
✉ Who have you become?
✉ What have you done?
✉ What experiences have you had?
Consider the main departments of your life: Health, Friends & Family, Business, Hobbies & Play, Money, Home, Spirituality, etc. (Your list may vary.)
I love this exercise. It helps me nail down what’s actually
✅ Important to me right now and
✅ Achievable in the next year
Then I tuck it away – often with the Christmas decorations when putting those up – and read it again in a year.
Sometimes, I start by writing a letter about how the current year has gone (so, 2024), and where I’m up to in various places. Then when I pull that letter out next year, I can more easily see my progress.
Have fun with this prompt! What could your future look like?
Why and How to Use These Prompts
Getting into a better place in thinking about money is a vital first step to facing our numbers and then doing something to better them - all the stuff I'm here to help you with.
Use these prompts to gently explore your feelings about money at your own pace. Remember, the point is to dig beneath the surface for yourself.
Brew up a cuppa, put on some chill music, light a candle or incense, get a notebook and pen, and give it a go. Consider setting a timer for just 15 minutes and write whatever comes into your head.
For some prompts, you might prefer to meditate on them instead. Or ponder them whilst doing the washing up or walking the dog. Or you might want to talk them through with a trusted friend. Do whatever works for you to help you get to a better money mindset.
