The part of the brain that reacts when we think about friends also reacts when we think about ourselves. The part of the brain that reacts when we think about strangers reacts when we think about our future selves. We see our future selves more as strangers because it's difficult for us to imagine ourselves 10, 20, 30 years from now due to all the variables we know can exist.
So (a needle pulling thread), imagining future you can help you to watch yourself as though you don't know much about you now. The power of future, now.
Ironic isn't it
