Spending 2018: A To-Do List for Adventuring Through the Year.

1. Set a goal. Big or small. 

2. Pay it forward. Buy someone’s coffee, pay for their meal, leave flowers on their doorstep.

3. Send a letter. 

4. Every now and then, make a list of things you are thankful for.

5. Try yoga.

6. Pay attention to what fulfills you. And do more of that.

8. Watch the sunrise. 

9. Get a library card.

10. Go on a road trip.

11. Have more slow days. 

12. Host a dinner party. 

13. Take pictures just for the memories. Worry less about what they look like and more about the memories you’re capturing.

14. Drink more water. It’s free and will make you feel so much better.

15. Find ways to enjoy your days more. 

16. Break a bad habit. 

17. Plan a vacation. Even if this isn’t the year you get to go on that vacation, there’s something fun and exciting about planning a vacation. 

18. Push yourself out of your comfort zone every now and then. 

19. Reach out to your family. 

20. Spend more time outside. 

21. Go to a concert.

23. Make a “good vibes” playlist. 

24. Watch the sunset. 

25. Work on becoming a better friend. 

26. Become a little bit healthier. 

27. Remove the things that no longer serve you. Clothes that don’t fit, relationships that are toxic, if it doesn’t make your life better, get rid of it. 

28. Have a cookout and eat dinner outside. 

29. Be proud of your accomplishments.

45. Drop one bad habit. 

46. Take note of the little things that make you happy. 

47. Declutter.

48. Check-in with people when they cross your mind.
