Today’s question is:

What if you could have a conversation with your ten-year-older self? What would you like to hear about their life?

Meh, I don’t know. Maybe if I’m still working at my current job? Or if I’m doing something totally different — whether I’ve made the leap to make a career change, of some sort. I’d be curious about that. Or if I’ve retired altogether. Or maybe whether I’m still living where we live or have we moved somewhere else? We’ve been where we are for 15 years. So that would be interesting if I’m living somewhere different! Those would be the two biggest things I’d be curious about

What about you? What would you want to know about your 10 year future self?

This is part of my ‘what if…?’ series inspired by Scenario Cards (which are packs of cards that come in 6 different varieties (self, the world and life; and gratitude, vision and impact) that inspire meaningful conversations designed by psychologists). You can check out the rest of the articles in this series here.

And check out my publications: Mindful Mental Health, Penny Press, and Beautiful Choices. Inkslinger Magazine is my personal publication which has fiction and nonfiction.
