I have an UPside-Down Bucket List.

It’s everything I avoid or put off because it demands a steep learning curve or stepping out of my comfort zone. This UPside-down Bucket List demands I put on my big girl panties.

So what’s on my list? You’ll probably laugh. Everything from learning to fold fitted sheets to comprehending the complex SCRIVENER writing program.

It includes finally getting around to the marketing technique podcasts I’ve paid for, organizing shortcuts on my computer and email programs, studying the manual on my electric car, renewing a complicated relationship, and developing an electronic payment plan for my voice studio.

It’s so rewarding when I accomplish one of the items! Not only is it satisfying to check it off, but I’ve proven I can attempt new things. That an old dog can learn new tricks. When I take charge and just do it, I learn something unfamiliar, feel better, stronger, smarter. And younger.

Instead of running from the tasks which in the long run would simplify my life, or asking one of my kids or my husband to do it for me, I can admit (true confessions) that even after all these years:

I don’t know _____.

I’ve never learned______.

I don’t know how to use __________.

I don’t know how to_________.

For some it may be to learn to dance, or paint, or play the piano. For others it might be to read a book, take a health challenge, try a new recipe. Perhaps you’ve been stuck, frozen on a difficult project or task. Maybe it’s about relationships that need restoration, forgiveness, reconnection.

What would make you feel competent, confident, and courageous? I’m curious.
