Advice For a Past Self

If you could travel back in time 5 years, what advice would you give yourself? 

What challenges have you conquered or are working on conquering?

What progress have you made in the past five years? Sometimes we have to look back to know how far we’ve come.

Does thinking about other dates bring to mind accomplishments you could be celebrating? Take two minutes to write one piece of advice for as many time blocks as you can.

Take two more minutes to record some of your accomplishments from the different time blocks.

Do any of the dates below stand out as important times when you would want to give yourself or someone else who could help you different advice?

“Oh! One other thing. If you guys ever have kids, and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug, go easy on him. Okay.” (Michael J. Fox, Back to the Future, 1985)
