思维品质 逻辑思维 Will future you still be you? It might seem like a strange philosophical(哲学的) question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you finally find satisfying(满意的) and ones you might regret(后悔).
Brain imaging shows that when people think about their future selves, their brain patterns(模式) are similar to those when they think about strangers. This finding shows that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more to be good for that stranger?
However, if you see the interests of your future self as more like those of your present self, you are more likely to do things today that are good for you tomorrow. A paper showed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to succeed in study. Relationships with our future selves are also important to general psychological well-being(幸福). In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5,000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who knew the connection in qualities between their present and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after the study.
So how can we better help our future selves and feel more connected to them? Vividness interventions(主动干预) works. We have found, for example, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases their willingness to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to—and then from—your future self. As pointed out by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students took part in this type of “send-and-reply” exercise, they experienced increased levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualisation(想象) exercises are just two ways we can connect with our future selves, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our future selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
