the future me : personal

Something I've been thinking about off and on lately is doing things for the 'future you.'

I somehow stumbled upon a blog recently and after reading for a minute I realized it wasn't the one I was looking for, 

but the little part I had read stuck with me.

The blogger was sharing how she would go and buy a bunch of healthy snacks for herself, 

and then come home and assemble them (cut up fruits and veggies), and put string cheese, etc. in a tray, 

so everything was ready to go in the fridge for when she needed it.

It helped her out a ton, as instead of just eating junk food,

she had good things prepared for when she needed them

...and she said something like, "I'm doing this for the future me--the future me will thank me!"

The statement kind of sounds weird, but definitely rings true.

Do things today, right now, that the 'future you' will be grateful for.

Prep a meal for tomorrow so that you don't have to be scrambling around the kitchen the next day.

Reply to that e-mail before you read blogs and then you won't be figuring out how to respond at midnight. 

(not that I speak from personal experience..) :P

Do your most-dreaded task of the day first--then the rest of your day will feel like a breeze.

I could go on with other examples, but you get the idea.

So I would encourage you to do something today (even if it's small), that the 'future you' will thank you for.

There you have it--my random pondering of the week. :)

annnnd because we all know a picture-less post would be lame,

here are a couple previews of my brother's senior pictures that I did back in September.

talk about a cool location--hello awesome cement tubes!!

happy Wednesday--only one day left of Boho Blogtober!
