One of the recommendations to build self control from with Willpower video by Kelly McGonigal is to write a letter to yourself from your future self. Sounds crazy, but due the the excitement from a friend concerning this concept I tried it. WOW! For me this was a very powerful and motivating experience. In the letter, my future self thanked me for my perseverance in certain areas and described for me the outcome of my efforts. Brought tears to my eyes, and provided real clarity about my purpose and what was important to me. What was interesting was how the words just began to flow once I started writing. This exercise was more than I expected : )
