Creating Your Bucket List http: //www. squidoo. com/100 thin gs#module 9296292
What do you want to do before you die? n Stop putting your dreams off for "some day". . . Take inspiration from the movie "The Bucket List" look at some ideas to get your creativity going.
Where to begin? ? n Time to brainstorm Start by creating a preliminary rough draft; you can always add, delete, or modify as you go along. n Baroque music, such as "The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi and Pachelbel's canon have been shown to slow brainwaves down to the Alpha range, the brain frequency which has been linked to increased creativity. n
Brainstorming Do not criticize or evaluate what you write down during the brainstorming process n n n you're trying to open yourself up to possibilities. Write down whatever comes into your head, it doesn't matter how wildly impractical the idea seems. Basically, you're going to have to quiet your internal critic, that little voice in your head that might be saying: "You can't do that"; "That's silly"; "I can't afford that. " Push the limits on what you currently think is possible for you and think outside the boundaries of your current life. Don't stop at 100 n n write down as many things as come to your mind. Later you can sift through the list you created and narrow it down to 100.
