Can you give me more details on the letter to my younger self exercise?

Sure! In this exercise, write a letter to your younger self, offering advice, encouragement, and reflections on what you've learned since then. Focus on key moments that shaped you.

What if I don't know what to say in the letter?

That's okay! Start by recalling significant events or feelings from your childhood. You can also think about what you wish you had known back then or what you would want to hear from someone you trust.
