So here it is my bucket list for 2017! It needs some work as the ideas I have been having are stored only in my mind and I am sure theres a few more tucked away in there which will come to the surface in the coming weeks however I will start here

• Start saying "Yes" more often, to things I would normally say "no" to. Invite more adventure into my life (feel the fear and do it anyway)
• Start saying "No" more to the things that I really don't want to do but I do to please others. Simply put stop the people pleasing behaviours and being a door mat.
• Get in the water more and practice being comfortable in my bathing suit. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
• Consistently get up earlier (5.30am everyday) to walk my dog and spend some time with my husband
• Drink less alcohol, I know its not good for me. Practice moderation and self control.
• Be grateful for one thing everyday and make that my mantra for the day.
• Start meditating again. I know how good I feel when I allow myself 10 minutes a day to meditate.
• Grow stuff. I have always wanted to know what it would be like to be able to grow food and be semi sustainable. This year despite all my critics I am going to have a go at it, even on a small scale (and I am going to give it the love and attention it deserves)
• Increase my volunteer work. Look at other options of how I can give to others.
• Practice using more positive language and affirming to myself that I am worthy and wonderful
• Spend more time with my kids (quality time) and forget about the washing, cleaning and general house duties that can wait .
• Reconnect with friends that I have neglected over the past 2 years.
• Learn how to be more thrifty and resourceful. Up till now money could buy anything, now I have no money coming in, I will need to tighten the purse strings and use my imagination and problem solving skills
• Stop worrying about everything! Much less stress and anxiety this year. Practice the art of being calm and strengthening my emotional disposition.

So there it is, just a start. Ambitious? You bet. But anything is possible. I will be sharing the steps along the way about how I am flexing my muscle and putting these things into practice. I am excited, cant wait for story to begin!!!
