Why write goals like they have already happened?
Writing about your future in the past tense activates the same brain networks used for remembering real events.
According to research from Harvard University, the brain overlaps memory and imagination, causing future scenarios to feel more vivid and familiar.
This familiarity reduces internal resistance and helps the mind treat the goal as something achievable rather than distant.
As a result, motivation increases because the brain begins aligning behaviour with the “memory-like” future you described.
While this technique doesn’t create actual memories, it powerfully engages the brain’s constructive memory system to support change. #fblifestyle
