What are ways we could live into our bucket lists more? We often will only put big things on our bucket lists but consider the idea of creating a little things bucket list. A list of your favorite moments that you would love to live over and over a again and then taking the time to create opportunity to do so. Our bucket lists can also limit our dreams to only the things on the list so leaving some empty space can create opportunity for the magic that we haven't been able to dream up yet.

Why do you do things the way you do them? Is it because it's just always been done that way? Sometimes it's good for us to question the things that we do and the way that we do them.

What happens when a kid doesn't have the emotional skills to face a challenging experience? They will often react negatively - screaming, yelling, or crying. What happens when an adult doesn't have the emotional skills to face a challenging experience? They react.

What happens after you take the action you want to take as you create a habit? You may not think that what happens after matters but it does.

If you want to create a new habit, make sure you create a reward.

This gives us perspective on the things we are thinking and ultimately allows us to choose to keep that pattern of thinking or to change it.

What will you choose?
