Welcome to week 7 of our Staying Connected Series. This week you and your partner will be creating the beginnings of your bucket list as a couple!
This is the time to take all those visions and trips you have been talking about and actually write them down. You can do it in a spreadsheet, a vision board or go out and get a book or journal specifically geared towards making a bucket list.
Being in a relationship is so exciting in the beginning. Then as the relationship becomes more comfortable, we fall into habits and routines and forget that there is still a big world out there for us to explore. Creating a bucket list with your partner is a great exercise to help you both realize that even though this may not be the “honeymoon phase” there is so much life to live together and so many things you haven’t done!
Here are some cool ideas if you need a head start on your bucket list:
Go to the next X Games
Go indoor skydiving
Read all the Pulitzer Prize winning books
Have an entire block Karaoke party
Visit the pyramids
Float down the Nile
Cut long hair and donate to locks of love
Ride in a hot air balloon
So go ahead and start writing the stories you want to live. There are lots of journals out there for bucket lists, but this one is my favorite by Axel and Ash. Have fun and keep this handy as it is an ongoing journal where your dreams will percolate until you make them happen. Happy dreaming!
