Creating a Bucket List is a great way to start the year and hopefully, you’ll find your Bucket List is your key to unlocking a more purposeful and enjoyable life. We’ve created a downloadable bucket list template below to help you get started.
5 Benefits of a Bucket List
- Exciting things to look forward to: boredom will become a thing of the past and you’ll experience new feelings of anticipation.
- Create new meaningful memories: have interesting new stories to share with others.
- Experience a daily dose of motivation: wake up with purpose and let your Bucket List inspire you.
- Personal Growth: tackling your list will help you discover strengths and abilities you never knew you had.
- Social Connections: Your Bucket List is a path to meeting new friends and strengthening your existing connections. Spend more time with friends and family or make new friends.
A Bucket List might include:
- Places you want to visit. Hometown nostalgia, museums and tourist attractions await your exploration. Your carer can transport you or accompany you to support your new adventures.
- Projects you want to complete. Sort those photos, write your memoir, or conquer the household clutter. Don’t forget to ask your carer for a hand if needed.
- Skills you want to learn. From learning to speak Italian, playing an instrument, mastering the Mahjong tiles or learning sign language, it’s never too late to become a pro and your carer is there to practice your new skills on.
- Health or wellbeing goals. Score a health victory with a new exercise or mobility activity, participate in a social club, learn to meditate. Ask your carer to help reach your new goals.
- Take up new hobby. Whether journaling, cards or board games, engaging in social media or bird watching, find your passion.
Ready to start your Bucket List journey?
While compiling a bucket list might seem easy enough, there are a few things you should do to help you to get started.
Chat with your family and friends about your interest in a Bucket List. Let them cheer you on and get their support in in setting an achievable list. Think about setting category goals– are they health related, educational or social? Most importantly, consider the kind of support will you need to achieve your Bucket List. Will you need transportation, physical support or a helping hand?
Support from your Prestige Carer
Your Prestige carer is on hand to assist you in reaching your goals and support you to live the life you want. Why not take a leaf out of Dorothy and Melissa’s book and chat to your carer about how they could help you tick off your Bucket List goals.
You may find that, like Dorothy and her carer Melissa, a friendly bond blossoms between you and your carer as you spend time achieving your new dreams. Whether trying a new recipe or creating a handmade gift card, no dream is too big or too small to go on your list. They only need to be realistic and make you happy.
