Living with meaning - a blogger's manifesto


Recently I've been thinking a lot about happiness and mindfulness. I've always been fenced in by my fear of failure and feelings of guilt and remorse. I've decided to start to change my life for the better by setting myself achieveable goals and sticking to them, but not beating myself up. Ultimately I want to follow my dreams without fear of failing, so I'm starting small to give myself a chance to fail, learn, and grow. This is kind of the opposite of a bucket list - the things I want do to live a fulfilling and happy life, to not be filled with remorse later. The only rules are that I must do all of these things at least once before December 31st 2012 and I must blog about them as I go. I will set resolutions for next year on January 1st 2013.
  1. Consider what my dreams are and how I will achieve them
  2. Try 100 new things (activities, recipes, foods, places, products, music)
  3. Blog every day for a month
  4. Cook a meal for someone else at least once a month
  5. Bake something at least once a month
  6. Read a new book every week
  7. Go camping
  8. Get something I've written published
  9. Do three things which are completely outside my comfort zone
