I like to get into Spring Mode early to extend the warmer seasons as much as possible… It’s harder to do when the weather wants to continue to show its winter colors though. LOL But it’s nothing that a Spring Bucket List can’t fix! Are you with me? Let’s leave winter behind regardless of what is happening out there.

I did some research on Spring Bucket Lists to prepare for this issue and found most of them a little basic and dull. I think you and I can create our own much better list. Are you up for it?

I created a Bucket List Design Process™ for this purpose. Note, the mere exercise of doing this is super empowering, recharging, motivating, inspiring, exciting and just plain FUN. Give it a go!!

Use the structure listed below to come up with things you want to do, accomplish, or experience in each area. You can play with all 10 areas, coming up with 5 things for each, or you can choose to focus on specific areas as you like, with the idea of ending up with your Spring Bucket List: 50 Ways of Living Life to the Fullest this Spring

Here is the list structure with areas to cover to help you create an amazing list, with a couple of examples for each:

1.Personal Physical – health, fitness, grooming and pampering, appearance and look, personal brand, treatments, healthy habits

Expand your skin care routine

Do a detox

2.Wellness – self-care routines, wellness and success habits, personal development practices or focus, treatments, supportive resources, tools and techniques

Start a Partner Appreciations Journal™…

Join or start a Personal Development Master Mind Group™

3.Relational and Social – activities, outings, entertaining, experiences, adventures, service, joint project, hobby, or interest, connection habits, relationship enrichment behaviors, celebrating

Subscribe to Blue Apron to cook original nutritious recipes together

Commit to Saturdays Date Night™

4.Home and Other Indoor Spaces – decluttering and organization, making functional, refreshing, beautifying

Marie Kondo Your Home… (keep only things that Spark Joy!)

Commit to Fresh Flowers Fridays™

5.Outdoor Spaces – yard, functional structures, activities structures, variety of gardens, fun nooks, special touches, experiences

Plant a fruit tree

Create a Yard Labyrinth

6.Indulgences – baking and other treats, aromas and scents, experiences, getting that little something that’s been on your wish list

Bake lemon treats

Start / expand your aromatherapy oils collection

7.With the Kids – crafts, their rooms, activities, outings, experiences, service, new skill, new hobby, new interest, new life skill

Visit an arboretum

Build a bird house

8.Creative – writing of any kind including music, painting, drawing, designing, decorating, dancing, creating, inventing, photographing, crafting, singing

9.Philanthropical – add charities to your repertoire, help plan an upcoming Gala, help in local fundraisers, contribute to a charitable endeavor, donate your time to your population of choice, start a cause

Sign up to read to children at afterschool programs or hospitals

Volunteer to be a Mentor at your local High School

10.Nature/Seasonal/Different – visiting beautiful locations, being with animals, doing outdoor activities, playing outdoors, being outdoors, outdoor sports, exploring and witnessing nature
