I want to share something with you today that has completely changed how I look at my personal growth. You know how we’re always chasing after new goals, adding things to our bucket lists, and thinking about the future? Well, what if I told you there’s a way to flip that idea on its head and focus on what you’ve already accomplished?
Enter the Reverse Bucket List Journal—one of my favorite tools for self-reflection. Instead of listing all the things you want to achieve, you write down all the things you’ve already done. It’s simple, but it’s incredibly motivating.
Let me share a personal example. A few months ago, I was feeling stuck—like I wasn’t moving forward, no matter how hard I tried. You know those days when it feels like you’re spinning your wheels but getting nowhere? That’s when I reached for my Reverse Bucket List Journal and started listing out everything I had already accomplished:
- Reached my 1,000 customer (which was such a huge milestone for me!)
- Hit a personal savings goal that I had been working toward for years
- Launched the ultimate life journal bundle, which has truly been a happy moment for me.
Once I started writing, I couldn’t believe how much I had already achieved. The list just kept growing! And you know what? That feeling of being stuck slowly faded away. I realized I had accomplished more than I was giving myself credit for, and it gave me this fresh, renewed energy to keep pushing forward.
That’s why I recommend going back to this journal every month to add anything you’ve accomplished—big or small. It could be something major like landing your dream job or something more personal, like committing to a daily self-care routine. Both matter because they show progress, and progress is what it’s all about.
The best part? This journal doesn’t take much effort. Just a few minutes each month, and you have this ongoing reminder of how far you’ve come. It’s like your own personal highlight reel—celebrating you and everything you’ve achieved.
So, if you haven’t started yet, now’s the time. Grab your Reverse Bucket List Journal and start filling it up. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ve accomplished, even in moments when it doesn’t feel that way.
Happy journaling, and don’t forget to celebrate your wins—no matter how big or small! 🎉
With gratitude,
Jerissa
