A Short Exercise That Could Change Your Life

This is a short exercise inspired by a video I saw today. It was a repost on a faceless account with no credit to the original poster. 

Take a moment to go through the exercise tonight. Participate fully. Seated at home.

Do not listen.

But if you are seated in a safe place, I want you to close your eyes. Really close your eyes. Don't just listen with your eyes open, but close your eyes and relax. I want you to imagine that it is ten years from now and everything went wrong. You are not in the life that you want.

SPEAKER_00 1:05

You're in a job that you hate. Your debt has piled up. You don't like anyone that you work with.

SPEAKER_01 1:21

You don't respect the people around you. You're unhappy with your body.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

You're in the worst shape of your life. You have no one around you. And deep down you know that this isn't the life you wanted. It's 3 a.m.

SPEAKER_01 1:56

And you're on your phone and you come across a photo of yourself from ten years ago today. And it hits you. If I could go back ten years, I'd change everything.

SPEAKER_00 2:17

You'd fix it. You'd take the leap. You'd stop wasting time. You'd change your habits. And in this moment of desperation, you ask God for one more chance. Just one if you could go back. Now open your eyes. You just got that chance.

SPEAKER_01 3:04

Out of everyone who wished for the moment that they could go back, you're the one who got it.

So what are you going to do?
