A letter to your future self
It’s January 7th, 2025. Right now, you’re standing on the edge of possibility. The choices you make this month - this week - can shape the entire year ahead. Truth is, we don't need a January for that. It's true of every month. Every week. But we have the magic of a blank year ahead right now. So, let’s pause and imagine.
What if you could write a letter to the future you at the end of 2025? What would you want her (or him) to know? Let’s begin.
Dear Future Me,
I hope you’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished this year in 2025. It wasn’t about being perfect, it was about deciding to show up. I’m grateful we committed to:
Prioritizing energy, strength, and clarity every single day.
Fueling our body with food that made us feel unstoppable.
Moving with purpose and loving the process.
Finding time for laughter, connection, learning and rest.
This year, we didn’t wait for the perfect moment to start. We took action when things felt messy and busy, and we stayed consistent even when it wasn’t convenient. And you know what? It worked.
Thank you for taking the first step. It’s what changed everything.
Love,
The You Who Decided
Real talk:
Nine years ago, I found myself at a crossroads. I had just been told I was prediabetic while newly pregnant with our son. After years of infertility, undiagnosed PCOS, insulin resistance, and hypothyroidism, my body felt drained, weak, and far from what I knew it could be, despite working out and “eating healthy.”
That diagnosis was my turning point. I realized that waiting for someone else to give me permission or the perfect plan and time wasn’t an option. I bought a glucometer, started tracking my blood sugar, and made small changes like adjusting my breakfast to focus on protein and fiber, tweaking my workouts to include more strength training, and building from there.
The changes were gradual, but they built momentum. My energy improved. I felt less moody. My body started to respond, and my lab work reflected the progress I was making. Each small step reinforced my commitment, and before I knew it, I was living a life that felt aligned, energized, and strong. In my 40s now, I feel younger and more powerful than I did in my 20s or 30s. It's hard to describe what it feels like ... I'd say a lightness and electrifying buzzing, of sorts. I know in my heart that you deserve to feel it too.
That’s why I believe so deeply in taking the first step ... even when it feels imperfect. Because I’ve been there, and I’ve seen what’s possible.
