Let's Make a List of 100 Things You Want to Do in Life | Day 98 of Luck-Boosting Experiment

Hello, this is Un-chan🍀

I can see what I want to do this year, but
what is it that I 'truly' want to do?

I have been carrying around that vague feeling of 'searching for myself' for a long time.

This time, Ayumu Sekai's book, 'How to Make a List of 100 Things You Want to Do in Life,' inspired me to create my own [List of 100 Things I Want to Do in Life].

I have too many things I want to do

First, I answered the '100 questions' in the book.

I looked at the words that came up, and while grouping and breaking them down, I listed my 'things I want to do' in a spreadsheet.

In total, there were 163 items.

My desires!! They wouldn't fit into just 100.

To prioritize, I marked the ones that excite me and the ones I would regret not doing, then moved the ones with both marks to the top.

Also, I excluded items based solely on a sense of obligation (things I 'must' or 'should' do) because they risk hurting my mental health due to the anxiety of not being able to do them.

With this, I narrowed it down to 133 items.

I will share some of the ones I can start on right away.

・Eat authentic pho and fresh vegetables (herbs) in Vietnam
・Conquer the museums in Ueno
・Go to Izumo Taisha Shrine
・Publish one book
・Create original merchandise
・Get new glasses
・Get a gut health checkup

My current glasses have large frames that make my eyes look small, which brings me down, so I've been wearing contacts whenever I go out lately.
I want to buy glasses that make me look better🤓 lol

My 'way of being/way of living' has become clearer

After completing the list for the time being, there were some items I was struggling with.

1. Things that are high priority but cannot be finished with a simple 'done'

For example,
Liberate your heart and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Live with a beautiful body and a beautiful heart.

2. Things that are not exciting, but more peaceful

For example,
Cherish the people and things around you.
Live every day with gratitude.

How should I handle these?

They are certainly necessary for life, and they have appeared many times in the answers to my questions, but I feel like they don't belong on a 'things to do' list...

Thinking this far, I suddenly realized something.

Could these bemy 'way of being/way of living'?

'What is a way of being?' has been one of my questions lately.

Of course, I 'know' the meaning, but when I try to apply it to myself, it's like I understand it and yet I don't.

Somehow, my heart felt restless and uncomfortable.

But these look like the way of being I am seeking.

I want to be a person who liberates their heart and enjoys life to the fullest.

I want to be a person who lives with a beautiful body and a beautiful heart.
(What exactly does 'beautiful' mean? It seems I need to dig deeper into that.)

I want to live while cherishing the people and things around me.

I want to live while holding and expressing a heart of gratitude every day.

Not only a "100 things to do in life list",

but a "list of who I want to be" is also taking shape.

From here on, I plan to separate the items I was struggling with into the "list of who I want to be" and create a pure (?) "100 things to do list"✨

I had ChatGPT create a values map for me

Based on this list, I tried asking ChatGPT the following.

The report that was created was so moving that I had it turned into a single image💖

Today's gratitude card: Ayumu Sekai

Although I have already introduced Sekai-san once before,
this time I will introduce an article related to the "100 things to do in life list."

It is a valuable piece that was originally a paid article but has been made free to the public.
It is so full of great quotes that I had trouble deciding which ones to share. Please check it out.

That's all from Un-chan🍀
