GIVE ADVICE TO YOURSELF IN THE PAST:
Write out a list of practical advice to yourself at a specific age. Begin the list with this header: "Advice To [name] at [age]". Be very specific with your advice, for example, don't just say "Hold on to your heart," but instead say "Don't go out with Kevin, he will eventually cheat on you. Go out with Jake instead, he is actually cooler." Take this opportunity to redirect yourself towards what you think might have been better. Tell yourself what to do in clear, specific language.
-When choosing subjects for year 12, don't do maths. Do another humanities subject. Your mentality of "school will be weird without complaining about maths" is the worst logic EVER! You hate maths. You have always hated maths. You're dyslexic with numbers for goodness sake!
-Stop thinking it was your fault that things didn't work out with Bob (fake name). He is treating you like dirt now, by ignoring you for no reason. And he'll realise how much of a dick he was to you in two years time and he will message you out of the blue and ask for an apology. You will have already moved on by then and will be amused. Just stop dwelling in it, it's not worth the energy.
-Don't eat that entire family sized bolognese pizza to yourself in under ten minutes. I know you think it tastes delicious, but you'll be vomiting later that night and not eat pizza again after that.
-When you and your friend want to run through those double doors to make a grand entrance, check that the doors are unlocked before running at full speed. Because running into doors hurts and even though you laugh so hard you can't get up, you will bruise badly.
