I've been working on an app that allows me to send messages to my past and future selves, as well as posting today's thoughts (for reading by my future self). I had initially created it over a weekend as a fun side project, but it turned out to be a great tool for self reflection. An ios beta is coming out next week, fill out this form if you'd like to try it out:

- AlexanderZ 6y agoEvery day of your life gets its own page so you can post a comment there. Usually people write to their past selves regarding some regrets in order to ease the pain. Simply putting your thoughts out of the mind and onto the screen helps. And treating your past self as another person helps, too. Also people write to their future selves to encourage/overcome the fear of the unknown.

- jlokier 6y agoYou could write a message as if your past self would read it, and then maybe it will be read by the subprocess in your mind which continues to emulate your past self, which quietly and often secretly affects how your present self feels.
