30 Things in my 30th Year!
What are you going to do in your 30th year?
I turned 30 last week! Had I told you about this??
I decided I would write a 30 things in my 30th list because it’s a pretty big milestone and after everything that’s happened this year, I want to make it count. The years seem to be speeding up and the adventures slowing down, so I need to keep that in check. Have you ever had a year like this?
Why you should write your list down
There is so much research about writing down your goals and the difference it makes. Your 30th year will speed by in a flash, why not make it count? Write down the things you want to achieve, the dreams you want to set for yourself.
For example, I wrote down number 11 and the week after I won 2 tickets to YNOT festival in Derbyshire! I'll let you know how I feel about festivals some other time...
This isn't a bucket list, I've got one of those too, this is a list of dreams I want to focus on this year. My bucket list will never end and I plan on adding to that list - as soon as we stop dreaming, we stop living. So here' my plan and hopefully it will give you some ideas for yours...
My 30 things in my 30th year
- Write a book

- Go on an epic 30th birthday trip
