This episode's prompts:
Are you living your life with the lid on your metaphorical bucket?
Or have you blown it off?

5 Tips to blow the lid off your personal bucket:

1.Think back to your favorite childhood activities. What did you want to be when you “grew up?” What games did you enjoy most? Find ways to incorporate your treasured pastimes into your daily life now. If you loved to sing, try participating in karaoke or starting a glee club. If you loved to draw, consider enjoying an adult coloring book or art class. You got the idea, now come up with your own ideas to reignite the joy and wonder of childhood.
2.Tap into your spirituality. – Although spirituality and religion can work together, they are not the same. Spirituality is a way of connecting with your Divine nature. When you know that you are more than just a biological creature on this earth, you are open to the limitless potential of the Universe. Spirituality allows you to dream bigger. Stillness will help you access the Divine within you. Try meditation, yoga, prayer circles, moon circles or whatever speaks to your heart. Just make sure any group you align yourself with practices from a place of love for all and doesn’t imagine themselves superior to other groups.
3.Make a list of your 10 favorite icons, celebrities or historical figures. – They can be alive or dead, from the US or anywhere in the world. (Some of my favorites are Toni Morrison, Oprah Winfrey and Nelson Mandela.) Now think, what do they have in common with each other? What do you have in common with them? Think about how you can stand on their shoulders and be of more service to your family, community and the world. Dream big! Afterall, they were just regular people before they created and pursued a big dream.
4.Learn to manage F.E.A.R. – Fear or False Evidence Appearing Real can show up in a lot of ways. It can appear in your life as self-doubt, catastrophizing or analysis paralysis. Take note of what scares you. Much like the frogs in the bucket who worried they would hit their heads if they tried to escape, your fears may be based in limiting beliefs. Take time to assess the things that scare you whether it’s making the wrong decision, not measuring up to your peers or anything else, and create a strategy to get past them.
5.Align with friends who are going places. – Friends from school and work are fine, but make sure to keep growing your network of connections. Reach out to leaders in your work or community who are where you want to be. Congratulate them and ask for their opinions. Offer to support the work they’re doing. Join charitable and networking organizations that are doing work you’re excited about and give them a hand. In Thinking Outside the Chrysalis, I refer to this as “pollinating.” When you pollinate, you connect with the intention of giving, not taking. If someone doesn’t want all the brilliance you have to offer them, it’s their loss, not yours.
