Michael Kavnad: Psychologist Hal Hirschfield studies how we think about ourselves in the future. The more connected we are with this future self, he says, the more likely we are to make smart choices. He suggests writing a letter to and then stepping into the shoes of our future selves. This can also help us feel less anxiety over uncertainties that still lie ahead.
Does your future self seem kinda blurry? Try writing them a letter.
