14- Make a Bucket List

Hey there, my name is Lisi - Lisi Fox. I’m going to be jumping into this blog, as well, with my own Daily Living prompts. Hope I help you out!
Take a moment to write down some things you’d like to do. The general meaning of a bucket list is a list of things that you would like to do before you die, but this list can be anything from small hobbies you’d like to get into such as being able to draw, to life achievements like getting the requirements to be an astronaut, or climbing across Mount Everest. Anything that you want to do, put it on your list. This is a list of things to do with your life - No matter how small or large, realistic or ridiculous, anything or everything you'd ever want to achieve can go here, and even things you haven’t written down are great achievements. 
“That some achieve great success is proof that others can as well."
-Abraham Lincoln
See you around :)

13- Fix Your Sleep

          Ah, sleep. Some of us are firmly convinced that we don't need it, while others only wish for more. However, the fact of the matter is that most people of the same age and physical health need the exact same amount. My DLP for you today is to do some research on how much sleep you need, and start planning on how to get it, whether that entails getting to sleep earlier or setting your alarm earlier. Here is some information on how much sleep you need to get, and here are some helpful tips on how to get it. Good luck!
          Cheers!

12- Traverse the Land of Fiction

          Have you ever read a book that was epic? I don't mean just any old book; I mean a book that was so astoundingly wonderful and insane and heartbreaking and epic that the only thing you could say after finishing it was, "Wow. That was an amazing book."
          If you're an avid reader like me, that question probably brings about twenty books to mind. For people like us, reading is a portal into another world where all kinds of crazy stuff can happen. It's more than a form of escapism, it's a way to learn things about the world- and ourselves- that we never would have known otherwise. That's why today's DLP is to pick up a book (or some other form of fiction if you and words on paper don't mix) and totally immerse yourself in it. Believe me, you're going to love it.
          There's only one rule: no tragedies. No "Juliet fakes her own death, Romeo finds her and kills himself, and Juliet stabs herself on her boyfriend's sword." No "The Doctor is forced to remove Donna's memories of time-travel so that her brain doesn't implode." No "Big Bird loses his favorite bouncy ball and can't find it ever again." (If you don't get those references, I am very sorry.)  You can read something that's gritty and realistic if Utopianism isn't your thing, but it has to turn out okay at the end. If you're stuck on ideas, check out this list. Whatever you may choose to read, good luck to you, and happy travels.
          Cheers!

11- Dance Party of One

          Am I asking you to do what you think I'm asking you to do? The answer is yes. If your response is "I can't dance", my reply to that is "I don't care". I want you to pick out your absolute favorite song in all the world, the one that makes you want to tap your feet, even if they're both left ones. Personally, my favorite is "Modern Love" by David Bowie, and I am unashamed. Just play that song and... Let lose. It doesn't matter what you look like while you're dancing, all that's important is that you have fun. Think about it- as long as you're having fun (and neither you or anyone else is going to get hurt), then what else matters?
          Cheers!

10- Tidy Up

          Well, I have been a very bad blogger.
          I cannot express in words how sorry I am for not posting this past week. I like to think that my blog helps people, but it obviously hasn't been lately. I am currently in the process of looking into a blogging partner so that we can keep each other covered and JKS Prompts will stay consistent.
          Today's prompt is something that might not help everybody, but I know that it helps me a lot. I get incredibly stressed and panicked when my space isn't relatively clean, so whenever I feel down, I'll tidy up a bit. If your house is already squeaky clean, that's great! Maybe you could look into redecorating, just for fun. If it isn't, then try putting some things away- just a few, I'm not asking you to deep clean. Don't make yourself feel like you're doing chores, put a movie on or play some music while you clean. Take this as an opportunity to reflect on things while you do a slightly mindless task, as it will be very rewarding when you have an appealing, clean space to relax in!
          Cheers!
