In today’s lesson, Pono explored the idea of making changes today that will benefit your Tomorrow-Self. Today, I encourage you to write a note to your Tomorrow-Self. 

Think about a version of yourself that you want to be in the future. It doesn’t have to be literally tomorrow; it can be a week from now, a year from now, or even the version of yourself that will exist at the end of this course. Write a note to your Tomorrow-Self and tell them about all the things that you want for them. Tell them about what you want their life to look like. This can include specifics about the amount of alcohol they consume, but it can also be things like the state of their physical and mental health, their financial situation, and their relationships with loved ones. Keep this note handy and refer back to it when you feel the urge to take that first drink. Remind yourself that this beautiful life you desire for your Tomorrow-Self is possible if you make the appropriate choices today.
