However, when I sat to meditate, my mind opened up to a list of things I would love to do before I kick the bucket, so here it goes!
1. Get my PhD in Psychology
2. Go backpacking across Europe with my sister
4. Own my own office space
5. Write a book
6. Go on a silent retreat
7. Go on a yoga retreat to an exotic place like Bali
8. Cook exotic food and perfect South Indian cooking
9. Built a scrapbook of memories for my little one
10. Go on a painting/writing retreat to Rome, maybe
11. Perfect my swimming skills
12. Go Scuba diving
13. Go on a girlie holiday
14. Learn to dance
15. Give up anger
16. Travel far and wide!
While I was pondering and breaking my head on what my bucket list ought to be I chanced upon www.bucketlist.org a fun website to look at what others are dreaming about and hoping to achieve.
Finally, while some of these items are something I would love to do/be, none of them "have" to be done of course. My takeaway from this exercise has been to take a step back from my usual grind and dream :-) what are your dreams for tomorrow?
Did u recently read Eat, Pray, Love?..:)
ReplyDeleteHi Ana: I loved the book, I read it right when it released some five-six years ago. If you are suggesting I sound like her, then thank you! I did love her journey. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHi baby this is an awesome thing you have done yaar, creating a bucket list!!!! You have inspired me to start thinking how my own bucket list should look like because this is the right time when I have been thinking that I have already achieved my bucket list you know! A sort of turning point in my life and you gave me a perfect way to begin it :-) Thanks re beautyqueen.
