Self-reflection (1): the method

Came across a video that outlines a path to self-reflection, on how to orient one's mindset so that one becomes more motivated to make changes in life in a sustainable way. The gist is as follows: 

1. to observe the A) current self, where you are in life, and imagine B) the ideal self -- both in a concrete way. 

2. rank yourself from 1-10, to what degree are you like B).

3. consider the incentives that you may have to decide to just keep at A), and not chase after B).

4. imagine two roads going into the future, where there are two yous: one you just continues to be A) without making any changes in your life, and another you takes several steps towards the goal of becoming B). 

i) Start with imagining the changes that will take place for the second you (moving towards B), in a week's time, three week's time, 3 month's time, a years time, and 2 and finally 3 years time.

ii) Lastly, do the same for the first you (continues on A).

I think this is an interesting exercise so I'm probably gonna do it over the next week. Check out the linked instructions, if you're interested too!
