One Great Tip To Help You With Your Bucket List
The best way to find out what your heart really wants to do right now
Lets say you want to go visit Las Vegas, go up a hot air balloon or climb Machu Picchu. One trick to help you decide is to write every single thing you want to do on a piece of paper. Cut out each bucket list item and fold the paper up and stick it in a jar.
Give the jar a good old shake to mix it up. The trick is simple you now have to take one out read it and see if it sparks joy to you right now. If the first piece doesn’t spark joy then put it to one side. If the next one is something you cannot plan for straight away or within the next 3 months put it aside also. Go ahead and keep two separate bucket list jars. One for long term projects and another for short term. The jar trick helps to bring feelings into play.
It is one thing to look at a long written bucket list and say “One day I’ll do that” You probably wont and just end up writing a bucket list each year into your journal with nothing new ticked off. The jar trick helps when you open up pieces of paper with what you really want to do it should excite, inspire and give you a desire for adventure right now.
