Pourquoi s'écrire une lettre pour le futur

Why write a letter to the future?

Café Pli invites you to a new experience, unique in Paris: write a letter to your future self, and receive your letter in 1 year, 5 years or 20 years.

In a relaxed and uninhibited setting, settle into a comfortable armchair, order your favorite drink and equip yourself with your most beautiful pen. Writing a letter to your future self is above all an opportunity for an original experience, alone or shared with friends, and personally enriching for several reasons:

  1. Reflection and introspection: Writing a letter to yourself encourages you to take a step back from your life, reflect on your past experiences, your present goals and your future aspirations. This allows you to get to know yourself better, understand your values and clarify your priorities.

  2. Projecting into the future: By projecting into the future, we can set long-term goals, consider the results of our actions today, and give ourselves perspectives on what we want to accomplish.

  3. Motivation and encouragement: Writing to our future self gives us the opportunity to encourage and motivate ourselves! We can remember challenges overcome in the past and give ourselves advice for future challenges. This can be a support and comfort during difficult times.

  4. Creating Memories: Letters written to your future self can become treasured keepsakes over time. Rereading these letters in the future allows you to measure how far you’ve come, remember important moments in your life, and see how you’ve grown.

  5. Strengthening the connection with oneself: Writing to one’s future self fosters a deep connection with oneself. This allows one to get in touch with one’s emotions, one’s deepest aspirations and to cultivate a positive relationship with oneself.

In short, writing a letter to your future self is a powerful way to connect with yourself, reflect on your life journey, and empower yourself to achieve your goals and dreams. It is an act of self-love that can bring more clarity, motivation, and inspiration for the future. Come to 38 rue du Faubourg du Temple to try the experience over a gourmet drink and a pastry!
