Having trouble starting a bucket list?!
Here are some of my personal pointers on
where to start:
1. RESEARCH and start a draft: Think of things you have wanted to
do since you were little and start from there. Let go of anything that may
limit your bucket list and no matter how crazy and unrealistic your ideas may
seem, write them down.
2. Write a second draft: Don't be thrown off by the fact that your list looks tiny
or that it has an incredible amount of goals because everyone's bucket list is
different. Reading other people's bucket lists can inspire you to take a certain direction or even give you ideas you may have never imagined. The amazing thing about a bucket list is that it'll never be
finished, as you will add ideas as they come. At the same time, if
a goal is no longer appealing to you, don't be afraid to erase it.
3. Divide your list: Some people find it easier to divide
their list into two; calling them their short-term and long-term lists. This
will allow you to focus on smaller things that you can potentially accomplish
on a day to day basis and maybe start piggy bank for that plane ticket to
Australia.
4. Have a variety of goals: Always target different areas of your life such as
finances, values, relationships, health, etc. For example: "Do something
kind for someone and expect nothing in return" or "Take an Indian cooking class"

5. Do things that are right for you: It is important that your goals fit
with your personality. At the end of the day, you must find meaning in your
bucket list, and do things that fit your attitude, suit your needs and allow
you to grow as a person.
6. Show it off: If you're already in the process of creating a bucket list,
why not show it off?! It's a great way to be held accountable for the things
you say you'd like to do and you never know who you'll inspire with your own
dreams and experiences.
Remember, ALWAYS HAVE FUN! Your bucket
list is your personal way of achieving your goals and it is all about YOU.
Hope you use these helpful pointers. Stay
tuned, I'll be posting my personal bucket list next week!
Cheers,
