Hello and welcome to the nineteenth day of the June 30 days writing challenge. If you want to know all the details about this specific challenge, have a look at the introductory post. In short, I will be posting every day a short tip, or technique, or opinion, something that you can call a "life hack". Feel free to join the challenge and post your own life hacks. I will do my best to upvote each day at full strength (about $3 at the current STEEM price) 3 posts tagged #challenge30days (leaving a link to your posts in the comments will also help).

It's Just A Story, So You Can Write Whatever You Want, Right?

One of the most interesting self-help exercises that I know of is to project your existence into the future. Like really painting a picture of your future self: how your life will be in one year from now, in five years or in ten years.

And one of the easiest way to do this, while still keeping that "living in the moment" mentality is to write a short story, with you as the main character.

Because it's a story, purely fictional, you can write whatever you want. I even suggest to go crazy about it and give yourself super powers, Marvel-style. Be a super-hero, and save the world.

One of the best moments to do this is in the evening, right before going to sleep. The story shouldn't be too long, but not too short either. Whatever you can squeeze on paper in, let's say, 20 minutes of free-writing.

And, equally important, after you finish the story, you should just throw it away. That will prevent your ego to grow too much, while still keeping the benefits of this: increase self-esteem, creativity and the ability to improvise.

This life hack is "borrowed" from one of the most popular posts on my other blog, so feel free to stop by and get some more inspiration, if you feel like.

I'm really curious to read about your life hack today. Leave a comment with a link to your post, if possible.
