Why Everyone Should Have a Bucket List
How to Keep Yourself Inspired
We all have dreams and goals. There are places we want to see and things we want to do. Whether it is accomplishing a personal goal, traveling to a certain place, or partaking in a dangerous activity, these dreams and goals are vital to our mental health. We don’t have to be actively dying to create a bucket list. The sooner we begin the list, the more time we have to complete it.
First, create the list.
The first thing we need to do is actually create the bucket list. I am a list maker, so I have written down several things in a normal notebook over the years. It does help to at least write it down somewhere, but one day, while in a bookstore, I found a bucket list notebook. This notebook allows me to write each thing down on a separate sheet of paper and date it. Then when I accomplish the act, I date it and I journal about the experience.
I would suggest putting some of the easier items to achieve at the top of the list and working your way down to some of the harder achievements. If everything on our bucket list is too hard to achieve we will too soon give up on the list altogether. To encourage you, I would like to share my simple bucket list. I hope this gives you some ideas and encouragement.
