Dear Future Self is a workbook designed to help you find answers to the questions that keep you contained. It is a series of questions and creative exercises designed to bring clarity and vision for a new year, a new season or even a very ordinary rainy day.

Author, Amanda Viviers created this personal retreat writing practice over 20 years of asking the same questions and it has been used by thousands of people globally. Dear Future Self will give you context for this private journaling retreat process she has developed.

"Each year I seem to stumble and fall into the space between Christmas and New Year. I'm exhausted, I am over family gatherings and even the thought of another thing to tick off the task list brings out my "rolling-eyes emoji"

During this stumbling season, I make space for an afternoon with myself, and I retreat. Away from my family, social media and I step towards possibility.

I find a cafe, order coffee and a slice of cake and I breathe. It's an opportunity to walk the beach and pray softly. Thanking God for the year that has passed, and I start to let go of disappointment."

A retreat is defined as a "period of time set aside to reflect, pray, meditate or study." This book is designed to be a perfect compendium for a self-guided personal retreat. Use this hashtag to see others taking a day this New Year to retreat also #FutureRetreating
