Sometimes you need your own advice

Have you ever found yourself looking for a piece of advice that can help you in a situation of trouble? Well, sometimes It isn't on Reddit, It isn't on youtube, or in a conversation with your loved ones. There are times when the best advice will come from the least expected person:
And how do we come up with this self-advice? Well, It's easy: You just have to think about what would you say to someone If they were in your situation. Then, figure It out: That advice is for yourself.
You see, the mind works even when we're not consciously thinking about problems, with our default mode network (A region of our brain that gets activated when we make passive associations between things) making all the connections for us to come with a solution. Once It's done, we just have to bring It to consciousness with that question.
That being said, the next time, ask yourself:
What advice would I give to my younger self?
Then, think If that's just what you need in the future. Maybe It might help you ;)
