BucketList If there is anything that will ignite emotional hunger, it's unfulfilled dreams and unmet desires. So many people live unfulfilled lives because they stop doing what they truly want and instead do what they are "supposed” to do. So, what do YOU want to do before you die? Think about that for a brief moment and answer with the very first thought that comes to mind. Don't let your mind run wild and start to analyze the why or the how, just go with the first thing that pops into your head. In the blog below copy and paste this section and fill in your answers. Remember, don't over-think this or get tangled up in practicalities: just read the question and answer with the very FIRST thing that comes into your head. Even if it’s totally ridiculous! Forget about what you “should” do. What is it that you REALLY want to do with your life? What excites you? What feels impossible? Be honest with yourself; your answers don’t need to make an impression on anyone but you. Some examples: Start your own business Go on a road trip with your best friend Join the Peace Corps Sing in a jazz band Cuddle a koala Explore a foriegn country Study abroad Become a wine connoisseur Dive to the bottom of the ocean Learn a new language Spend a romantic weekend in Paris Bungee jump Climb to the top of Kilimanjaro Now, this is where it gets interesting. As you look at the list you created, pick the one answer that excites you the most and imagine having it. Really step into it and imagine you are being, doing, feeling that thing as vividly as you can. Notice how your body feels in this moment, do you feel scared? Excited? Scared and excited at the same time? Stay with this feeling and next, imagine you have your favorite treat in front of you. Chocolate, cookies, ice cream...look down at the food and notice how appetizing it looks right now. Do you really want it in this moment? Or does it seem rather unappetizing? When you stop feeling excited about your life, you eat. You look to food to provide pleasure and excitement versus stepping out of your comfort zone and going after what you truly desire.
