4 ways that Time Machine helps you love yourself across time.

Learn to send unconditional love and connect with yourself over time

By recording messages to your past, present and future self and sending them through the Time Machine, you begin to notice how you change over time.

Relax and recenter yourself

Create your own brief saying or meditation or listen to a prerecorded one to help you stay focused on the positive during your day.

Nurture your hopes

Take a serious look at each of your life hopes, nurture them and watch them grow— and if you want, share your hopes with your community.

Check in with yourself

Wellness checks help you know where you are and see yourself change over time.

What’s it like to use Time Machine?

"If I was having a bad day, and I heard my message from the day before, where I was maybe having a worse day, I felt like, I’m doing good. Because my intention was, you’ve got this tomorrow - you’re going to make it!"

"I came to appreciate the daily check in, a way to support myself, my future self in my day to day life and what I was going through."

"It helped me a lot. I could count on something every day when things were shifting in my life. It was like a friend reminding me to check in with myself."

Time Machine was made by TILT (The Institute for Love and Time). TILT is a nonprofit. Time Machine is free for anyone to use and TILT will never sell your data. 

TILT builds technologies that remedy hopelessness and despair by integrating unconditional love across the past, present and future – transforming ourselves and our institutions from the inside out.

The team at TILT has learned through their own experience and through research that sending messages to our past, present, and future selves helps us love ourselves. 

Time Machine is a project of TILT: The Institute for Love and Time. Support for this project was provided in part by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
