Hello, everyone! I’m here today to start the autumn season strong with a bucket list. I don’t know about you, but autumn is one of my favorite seasons. I love the colors, the weather, and the flavors. All around it’s just a magical season. This year’s theme for my bucket list is “autumn activities for living your best cozy life.” I want to embrace the cozy vibes of fall and curate a season of calm in my life. Hopefully, you’ll find a few activities on this list that speak to you. Feel free to take the ideas that appeal to you and leave behind everything else.
Bucket List Advice
Before we jump too far into this post I wanted to share a quick bit of advice. It can be incredibly easy to treat a bucket list as a bunch of things we must get done. However, this leads to feelings of disappointment or inadequacy when we don’t accomplish everything. I encourage you to treat your autumn bucket list more as a list of suggestions. It’s okay if you don’t check off each item. The list is just here to help you think of fun ways to spend the next few months. This reminder is as much for me as it is for you. Now, for the activities!
