In the early spring I plant the seeds, knowing full well that later in the year I will be able to eat wonderful foods that came from my efforts.

So today, I was working in my garden, and I realized that the law of attraction is a lot like gardening.

When you want to have food in the garden, it all begins with a seed.  You then nourish and water the seed and it grows and grows until one day you find yourself with the fruits of your labor.

The seeds are like the seed of thought, and all things in life begin with thought.  Without the correct mindset…  without nourishing positive thoughts, you can not expect positive outcome.

Now, most people live life under the false assumption that things are random.  They have no idea what will appear in their life (or in their garden) and they hope that something good happens to grow.

They live on what ever they find, all the while not realizing that they are in charge of what grows.

Other people would walk into the garden and demand food in the spring.  “Where is the food?” they would ask.   They want things immediately and are disappointed when the food is not there before the seeds are planted.

These people don’t have time for seeds.  They are too busy.  So they go from garden to garden always hoping to find fruits and wanting to live on the seeds and fruits of others.

Someone who understand the law of attraction is like a master gardener.   They realize that the soil must be fertile  (the mind) and that they must plant the seeds of what they desire (specific positive thoughts) and then they nourish the seeds until they grow into what the gardener desired when he planted them (Manifesting).

The law of attraction is much like a garden.  The results do not happen over night.  Everything in your life was planted long ago.  Events are not random…  you have more control of things than you ever imagined.

So if things are happening in your life that you do not want, the master gardener would say you must pull your weeds.

Pull your weeds…  stop attracting what you do not desire.

You see, if you have a garden full of weeds, it is still your garden.  You allowed them to grow by not pulling them.

If you have a life full of things you do not desire, make changes today.  Pull your weeds and plant the seeds of what you truly desire.  Then nourish your seeds and watch them grow into your desires.

When I wrote the Secret Course I was not thinking of gardening, but Book I: (Harness The Power of The Law of Attraction) of the Secret course prepares your soil for planting.  It removes your weeds  and gets the soil ready for your new seeds. This is the base for the new garden that is to come.

Book II (The Manifesting Cards Method) is the instruction manual of sowing seeds.  It tells you how many seeds to sow, gives you the right seeds and the instructions to make sure your seeds grow up healthy and strong and as quickly as possible.  This is the growing book.

With both of these books, it is my belief that anyone can have a strong healthy life without weeds.

I am a cheater….

and I am proud of it.

The PROOF IS HERE

You see, I cheated my way to success.

I took this shortcut, because I’d rather take the easy way out.

The way I saw it, I had two choices.

#1 – I could put in years of hard work,

or

#2 – I could put in minutes of effort

AND GET THE SAME RESULTS!

.

So I cheated by using this:   What I Used To CHEAT

.

.

.For the record:  You can cheat too.

You can delete fears and phobias in MINUTES.
You can keep motivated
perform better at virtually any task
Enjoy tasks that used to make you miserable
Be happy and feel great about your life.

So I highly recommend you start cheating today.

Let me explain,

I have been broke in my past.  So broke in fact that I had to file for bankruptcy.  Sure, I was frustrated, but I never was poor.

You see, once I discovered the power of The Secret Course, I knew that I was rich long before the money showed up.

Being broke is a temporary state in which you have a temporary lack of money.

Being poor is a way of life.

Poor people believe they have bad luck…

they believe that life is hard….

they are often jealous, envious or even bitter towards people who have money…

and they expect to always be poor.

Your thoughts, your attitude, your expectation and even how and what you say to others are all creating your personal future.

Be sure you never fall into the “poor me” trap, and instead KNOW that you are rich.

So how do you feel rich when you don’t have any money?

There are a LOT of tips on this very site.  One of the best articles to make you feel rich, even if you are broke, is:    Odds Are, You Are Richer Than You Think!

More tips to feeling (and thereby becoming rich) can be found at:  Stop Wanting Start Having

They exact method that I used to go from lack and wanting to always having more than I need is The Secret Course.

.

.

So many of us walk through our life in a zombie like stupor, living in a state of being that I like to call “autopilot”.

When you are living a life on Autopilot you get into a routine (or is it a RUT?) and you just go through the motions day in and day out.

While this may be surviving, it is NOT Living!

WAKE UP…..

I challenge you to wake up and realize the potential in your life.  Become aware of who you really are.

You are the creator of your reality!

It is okay to dream of a better life!

You can never have anything more than you have right now unless you reach beyond where you are right now!

So reach up and grab what you want!

Become who you want to be…..

The only thing holding you back….   IS YOU.

Stop Wanting And Start Having

I have worked with hundreds of people one-on-one and with thousands of people who have used the Secret Course, Manifesting Cards, Subliminal Videos and the Quantum Cookbook law of attraction courses.

I also have helped countless others on this very site and through my free weekly newsletter.

Working with this many people has given me a unique insight into the lives of the people who were not achieving success with the law of attraction.

They followed the course(s) and the teachings, yet many were not getting the big results that others were getting.

This insight into their lives led me to an Amazing discovery!

I found the problem…
THEN I found the cure!

I finally found what it was that stopped people from achieving fast and easy success with the law of attraction.

They all had fallen into the same trap!

YES, the courses I mentioned above are all VERY GOOD.  Extremely good in fact….

They give good information on the law of attraction, and provide special tools to help you turbo charge your manifesting.

3 Steps To Make Your Dreams Into Reality

(Download)

This is the simplest formula for achieving your goals in 2010.  If you want to achieve your goals this year, you will have to do these three things.  No matter how much hype or fluff any “self development” product  or tool promises, you can not skip any of these three steps.

It seems easy enough…  just 3 little things stand between you and greatness.

It is easy to figure out what you want.

* Maybe you want to lose weight

* Maybe you want to quit smoking

* Maybe you want to make more money

It doesn’t matter what it is, all the those goals require motivation, a plan, and of course action.

Taking action isn’t hard.   Just ask everyone who has quit smoking and started back up again… or the person who went on a diet for 2 weeks before they went back to their old way of eating.

The plan was easy enough, and the action was there, but it was the MOTIVATION that lets people down.

Motivation is the one key to your success.  Even if the plan is modest, as long as you are motivated enough to stick with it, YOU WILL SUCCEED.

Hopefully the PDF above will help you with some tips to keep you motivated, but I would also like to offer you something I created JUST TO KEEP YOU MOTIVATED ALL of 2010.

I knew motivation was the key to everything, so I wrote this with you mind:

s

There are a lot of tools that can help you improve your life, such as the free subliminal videos, or the Secret Course, or even the simple Manifesting Cards.

But guess what?

Without motivation, no tool can work for you.

You have to actually watch the subliminal video in order for it to have a chance to imprint on your subconscious mind.   You would have to actually read the Secret Course and practice what it teaches.

I think one of the reasons that the Manifesting Cards are so successful for people is because it is quick and easy to use, so it does not require as much motivation, but still….  like any tool, if you don’t use it, it can’t work.

Exercise equipment that you never use, can not get you into shape.

I hope you will make this year different from all the years past, and that you check out Your 2010 Success and truly make this year different.

I wish you the best of success in 2010.

Warmest Regards,

- John Derrick

PS – Try to keep a positive attitude.  So what if you quit smoking for 60 days and started back up?  At least you took the burden off of your body for 60 days…  and next time you will do even better.

So what if you lost 20 lbs but put most of it back during the holidays.  Now you know you can do it!  Not to mention that good you did your body when that weight was off and you know how good being thinner felt so it is even more likely that you will accomplish it again.

As long as you stay motivated and keep moving forward, it doesn’t matter how slow your progress is, everyday you are 1 day closer to your goals.

As my 7 year old, Declan,  loves to say  “Never give up, never surrender!”
(He picked that up from the movie Galaxy Quest)

Where did you get your beliefs from?  Did you pick them up along the beaten path of life, or were they given to you by your parents when you were still a child?

No matter where your beliefs are from, I challenge you to take a long hard honest look at them and see if they are serving you.

Since your beliefs are creating your personal world, it would seem wise to only hang on to beliefs that serve you.

For example, if you believe that life is tough, you will be creating a very tough life for yourself.  You might believe that to be true because your parents had a tough life and you have had a tough life too.

So what?

Who cares what your life has been like before today.   The past is simply the result of previous thinking.

If you do not like having a tough life I suggest you replace that belief!

I believe that things in life go easily and smoothly.  I also believe that I can have anything I put my mind to.

So when I want something, I simply pull out a Manifesting Card, and I focus on the end result of already possessing it.

Then I sit back and watch the universe re-align things in a way to make my wish come true.

How easy is that?

Yes, I sometimes have to take action, and when I see the events align in a way that leads me to believe that I need to take a small easy action I jump at the opportunity because the universe loves speed.

I USED to believe that life was tough.   I replaced that belief and now life is easy.

I USED to believe that “money was hard to come by”, and now money comes in steady and when I need more something suddenly happens to give me the more of what I need.

I USED to feel guilty when I went out spending money, but now I get home and usually find that I earned more than normal that day and like magic the “extra” money I spent is already replaced.

I USED to be unhealthy, and now (You Wont Believe This – Click Here For Details) my health is better than anytime in life, even though I am the oldest I have ever been.  (Of course, so are you at this very moment.)

I highly recommend you change your beliefs if they are working against you.  You can do this with the power of SUBLIMINAL VIDEOS, or SUBLIMINAL AUDIOS, or Daily Affirmations, but if you need someone to walk guide you every step of the way,  you will want to check out the SECRET COURSE.

Best wishes to you in all your future successes.

With all the negative news about the economy, and people losing their jobs, there is a lot of fear out there right now, which is why I choose to look at my life from a slightly different angle…

I will use myself as an example here, but odds are you can apply 90% of what I am about to say to yourself as well.

I am richer than all the Kings in centuries past.   King Solomon never had a heated house like I do.  With all his wealth and power he never had wall to wall carpet, like I do.

The mighty Merlin, if he indeed existed, would be amazed at the magic box I have in my front room.  With this box I can see events from around the world.  Yes, I sit in total comfort on my soft couch while I watch my magical box that let’s me see a million actors and brings me news from every corner of the globe.

Great Rome in all its glory was proud to have public baths which were heated, while I take hot baths or showers in my own home everyday.  In fact, water both hot and cold are piped right into my house, in several locations even, and with a flip of a switch I can have hot or cold water in an instant, day or night.

The richest men in history’s past would collect books from around the world and build private libraries with all their wealth…. yet they would blush at how small their collection of information is when compared to what I can access on the internet.

Any question I want answered is just a few keystrokes away on the internet.  For a few dollars I can have a new book immediately sent to me from anywhere around the world.

For a few cents I can have messengers deliver a paper message of mine to the furthest reaches of my country, or for free I could send an email message to the furthest reaches of the entire planet.

I am immune to Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertusis, Hepatitis A and B, Measles, Mumps and Rubella, Polio, Meningitis and more…  because I was given a few shots as a child.  In fact, everyone I know is immune to most of these, and these diseases have been nearly wiped out from my nation.

My children are strong and healthy, and none of my three children nor my wife died in child birth, as was so common before modern medicine.

I can travel further than any king in a fraction of the time.  Thousands of men have paved all the roads ahead of me, making long distance travel fast, smooth and easy.  I can travel many times the speed of a horse while remaining in luxury, no bouncing up and down and I am completely protected from the elements.

Yes, I am so rich that I can board a plane and fly from one city to another at speeds no man in centuries past would dare to dream.

I am so rich that I have no shortage of food, in fact the problem I have is quite the opposite.  I have such an abundance of rich and tasty food flown in from around the world, but I must be careful to not to eat so much that I explode.

But even if I do eat so much that I become a rounder version of myself, I can still have people make me clothes that fit…  yes, I am truly rich.

Even the bed I sleep in would have made the richest men in history proud, it is soft and firm at the same time, and I sleep like a baby in it, on cotton sheets with a thread count higher than was ever possible in histories past.

I can pick up a phone and call anyone nearly anywhere in the world, and I can keep this magical phone in my pocket and use invisible waves in the air to make these magical calls whenever I desire.

The air in my home is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  I have a device to take dust out of the air and make it crisp and clean.  I can cook in my house without the need for fire, and I have a hood with vent that removes any smoke to the outside if smoke should occur.

When I sleep at night I have devices which monitor the air for smoke, and in case of a fire they will wake me up and warn me.  Of course if fire should occur, men will come rushing to my aid, day or night, and use giant hoses to put the fire out.

Yes, I am truly rich….

Not just because I am happy and in love with my wife.  Not just because my children love me as much as I love them or because they look up to me.

No…  I am physically rich….    Rich beyond the great Caesar himself ever was…

I even do what most rich people in the past have done, I forget how rich that I am and take my wealth for granite.  I forget how magical my life is and sometimes think about how I could have more…..

Not today… not right now….   Right now I am thankful for my vast wealth.

So was I wrong?   Are you richer than you imagined too?

Procrastination can rob you of wealth, health and happiness.  Procrastination is the difference between barely getting by and living like a king.  Procrastination puts the man or woman of your dreams into the arms of another.  Procrastination  steals your youth and throws it away.

I don’t mean to sound overly dramatic, but procrastination is your worst enemy.

The following are my top 10 tips to conquering procrastination and living the life you want.

1. Make A Commitment!

Say it out loud: “2009 is the year I’ll stop putting things off and start building my dream life!”

Great – you’ve made a commitment to yourself!  Now hold yourself to it, because you deserve to have the life you desire.

2. Define What You Want!

It may sound strange, but most people do not know what they want out of life.  You probably have a vague idea of the kind of life you would like to live, but how about the specifics?

If you want to be thin, what exact weight do you want?
You want to be rich, but how much money is rich to you?
Do you want to start a business or work from home?
You want to healthy, but how do you define healthy?
Maybe you are unhappy because you want to get your wife/husband or girl/boy friend back.

Whatever it is that you want, write it down and make a list.

When you go to the grocery store you probably make a list of all the things you need right?  This is the same thing, only it is much more important than a grocery list….  this is a list of what you want in your immediate future.

When we procrastinate it’s often because what we are planning to do is not really aligned with what we truly want.   Once you have this list, you will know EXACTLY what it is that you want.

3. Make Health and High Energy A Priority!

Without good health you are less likely to have the energy needed to make positive changes in your life.

So ensure that you eat right to feel great,  sleep well, exercise and meditate.

Incidentally, it is thought that regular meditation will actually delay the worst effects of the aging process.

4. Set Small Goals & Accomplish Them

Setting small goals for yourself will keep you heading in the right direction and will enable you to avoid procrastination.  Small goals that you accomplish put YOU in control of your life.

No need to make this complicated, just keep simple and attainable targets that you can accomplish each week.

It is best to write them down one simple step at a time.  For example, if you want to remodel your bathroom, you don’t have to do everything all in one week.  Instead, take the entire job and break it down into weekly tasks and then no matter how many tasks it takes, it will always be one step closer to being done at the end of each week.

Apply this to your life as well.  I you want to lose 20lbs, you don’t need to do it all at once.  Simply make it a goal to lose 1 pound per week.  It keeps you on task and avoids procrastinating “starting a diet”.  1 LB per week should be easy enough.  Don’t focus on the big picture of 20lbs… that seems like a lot.  Don’t think. OMG I have to do this for 20 weeks.  Instead, just focus on the week you are having and the 1 pound goal.

I know that since I am talking about weight loss that people will want to know what I recommend for weight loss.  All I can tell you is that I used the law of attraction to lose my weight, but I hear VERY good things about this new weight loss program.

If you decide to use Turbulence Training, please be sure to let all of us know how well it works for you.

5. Visualize Your Life Without Procrastination.

See and feel the benefits in your life if you didn’t procrastinate. What could you do and achieve?

Make mental pictures and/or movies of the life that you want.  See what you want as if you already have it.

Begin to act as if you’re not a procrastinator.  We all categorize ourselves as many different things.  We call ourselves fat, skinny, loud, quite, outgoing, shy, tall, short, active, inactive, etc.  What you call yourself is what you become.

For example, I use to be sickly.  I was always run down and caught every cold going around and even a couple of them that no one else did.  I categorized myself as sickly.  Both consciously and subconsciously.   Today, I am exceedingly healthy, and that all began by categorizing myself as healthy.  Yes, I visualized and I used affirmations back when I was sick a lot, and created a new me that is what I called myself then.

Does that make sense?  It means that you say, act and feel as if you already have what you want even though you do not see it at the time.

It’s one of the things I reveal in great detail in My Secret Course.

6. Banish The Negative Gremlin.

The negative Gremlin is that little voice in your head that makes excuses for you.   It says things like “I don’t have time for this” or “I can’t do that”.  The negative Gremlin is a saboteur from within.  If you listen to it, you will never exercise, never eat healthy, never be rich, never find love, never have all the things you want because the Gremlin wants you to fail.

The best way to beat the negative Gremlin is to use affirmations and/or subliminal videos, because the negative Gremlin lives inside your subconscious mind.  After awhile the negative Gremlin becomes a positive Gremlin, who expects you to achieve everything you set out to.  It will become a little voice in your head that tells you that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
7. Avoid Over Commitment

People often fall into this trap around this time of year.  They say “YES” to everything and try to take on a thousand different goals all at the same time.  Of course acting like this only dooms yourself to failure because you only have so much energy and so much time in the day.  When you over commit yourself you find yourself upset at the end of each day at all the things you didn’t accomplish.

This will lead to procrastination and eventually you will drop everything and begin listening to that negative Gremlin we spoke about earlier.

Identify what is most important to you and only focus on those areas which will make the biggest difference to your life. It will enhance your focus and motivation.  Your energy will be less divided and your success rate will be much higher!

8. Track Your Progress

It feels good to see how much you get done.  Keeping a list of all the things that you have accomplished can be very motivating.

Often it is easier to see all the things that we have yet to do than it is for us to see all the things that we have already done.  T

This one tip alone can make the difference between feeling good about yourself or feeling like a failure.

9. Reward Yourself

Once you start to complete tasks, reward yourself by giving yourself something that you want.

Take fun activities such as watching a movie and give it to yourself as a treat for accomplishing a goal.  This way the movie is not stopping you from getting something done and is instead an incentive to hurry up and accomplish it.
10. Just Do it!

Always Act Now!  No excuses. Don’t wait until you’re “in the mood”. The

mood may never come!

Seize each day and take control of your life. Start with what is easiest, so that you experience immediate success, which will give you the fuel and motivation to take on larger projects.

Do any of the above and you’ll be well on your way to Kicking the Procrastination Habit. And if you’re procrastinating over doing any of the above, then remember that life is the biggest deadline of all!

Life is what happens while you wait around for something to happen.

No more waiting.  Make it happen now.

Wishing you the best in 2009,

- John Derrick

“Which is in control, the conscious mind or the subconscious mind?”

It is a good question, with an answer that will most likely surprise you.
Your conscious mind is that part of your mind that you are aware of.  It is what you use to decide things.  You made a conscious decision to read this article.  Because it was a conscious decision you are aware of it.

Your subconscious mind is the part of you that you are not aware of. It is always working and it acts as the lens from which you view the world.

So which one is in control?

The quick and short answer is both. But there is a catch.

THE BAD NEWS:

The bad news is that your subconscious mind, the one you are not even consciously aware of, is having a huge impact on every aspect of your life.  It determines how you view the world.  It is constantly working….  which means that it is constantly attracting and shaping your world according to the rules of the law of attraction. The subconscious mind is attracting to you every minute of the day even though you remain unaware of it’s desires.

THE GOOD NEWS:

The good news is that your conscious mind (the thoughts you are aware of) is what has programmed your subconscious mind.  How it did this was through repetition.

For Example: When you drove a car for the first time it took a lot of concentration and focus.  You had to use your conscious mind to make every adjustment to the steering wheel and remember to look in all directions and to watch for cars and people.

After years of driving, your subconscious mind became programmed (through repetition) and can now handle a lot of the driving for you.  In fact, many people don’t even remember driving for miles at a time.  I remember back when I worked at a job (ick) that required me to drive to work everyday…..  Most days I drove on auto pilot the entire drive.  It was my subconscious mind that did the driving for me.  (Side Note: I am soooo thankful I get to work from home!)

If something unusual were to happen, the subconscious mind would suddenly hand control back to the conscious mind , because it has no idea how to react to something new. So if a child suddenly ran into the road, you would suddenly find yourself consciously aware of driving and your conscious mind would have to react quickly.

That is what your conscious mind does best…  it reacts to it’s environment.

What does this have to do with the Law of Attraction?

Consider how you were brought up.  All the things your parents and teachers told you repetitively are now living a life of their own in your subconscious mind.  Your views on money, health, love, fairness, religion, morals and just about everything were shaped early on in your life.

Remember, your subconscious mind is programmed through repetition, so if you heard “money doesn’t grow on trees” or “life is hard” over and over again, guess what your subconscious mind holds to be true?

Your subconscious mind does not judge.  It does not make decisions of any kind.  It simply knows to be true what it was taught over and over again.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Simple.  Think about what you want, and repeat it over and over again.  This is how you teach (or program) your subconscious mind.

Using a subliminal video (like the free one here) puts you on the fast track to re-programming your subconscious mind.  It works by showing you pleasant images, with pleasant sounds and by flashing words onto the screen that are faster than your conscious mind can read.  This allows you to bypass your conscious mind and directly program your subconscious mind.

WHY?

Your conscious mind questions things.  It debates things.  It doubts the truth of statements.  This all inhibits the programming of your subconscious mind.

For example: Pretend the words “You Are Healthy” popped up on the screen.  If the words went by so fast that you were not consciously aware of them, it will be picked up by your subconscious mind alone.  Now seeing that once will do nothing, but if you saw  “You Are Healthy” thousands of times, it would start to have an effect.  Millions of times and your subconscious mind would accept that as a fact.

BUT….  If the words “You Are Healthy” appeared long enough for you to read them consciously, your would probably think of reasons as to why that statement is not true.  You may think, “Well, my right knee has been giving me some trouble…. Oh, and I have asthma and my blood pressure isn’t so good…. My weight may be a little high… other than that I guess I am pretty healthy”.

Of course that would defeat the purpose entirely, because you just gave your subconscious mind a list of reasons as to why you are NOT healthy instead of why you ARE healthy.

What I Recommend

Try the free subliminal video here.  This is a great starting place to training your subconscious mind.

I hope that 2009 is the best year of your life!

I try not to get caught up in making silly new years resolutions that I never intend to keep.  It only leads to disappointment  15 days later.   (smile)

Looking back on my life and I can see several years where I just let life take me wherever it wanted to and somehow I was always surprised about the results.  I always ended up frustrated, broke and miserable.

There is nothing I can do about the lost time of my past, but from today forward I can choose to make each day the best day possible.

So what actions do you plan to take to make this the best year ever?

One of the best ways to make 2009 the best year ever is to take a look at all areas of your life and choose one that you wish to improve and then take some for of appropriate action.

Here are some of the best tools available to improve various areas of your life:

Reprogram your subconscious mind to think positively and attract money?  – This is your free tool.

Need to boost your self-esteem?  Want to overcome a fear or phobia?  -  Then use this tool.

Want to master the law of attraction?  Attract money, health, love, or whatever you desire?  This is your tool.

Need to reduce stress?  Relax?  Meditate deeper than ever before?  This is your tool.

Need to lose weight and keep it off?  Best tool I’ve ever found

Want to discover the secret behind “The Secret”?  – You’ll love this

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you take life by the horns and don’t let it pass you by.

Another thing I am doing this year is making sure I spend more time with my wife and kids!  No one ever wishes they had spent more time at the office when they are getting ready to leave this world, but many people do regret not spending more time with their family.

Thank you all for being with me in 2008.  I look forward to growing with you all in 2009.

May 2009 be your best year ever,

- John Derrick

PS – I have to admit that as I wrote this I had the Sponge Bob Squarepants song “Best Day Ever” stuck in my head.  Thank you Declan.  (my 6 yerar old)

Life was more exciting and full of promise.  I believed I would change the world, and even though I have embarked on a career that has helped many people, when I was a child possibilities were limitless.

One of the amazing things about being a child is getting to do things for the first time.  The world was new and exciting.  Every experience had a first time and nothing compares to the excitement of doing something for the first time.

Remember your first kiss?

Even though I love my wife very much, a simple peck on the lips these days is common place and in fact is expected whenever we part each others company or when she comes home after being out all day.

Remember the first time you drove a car?

My nerves were screaming as I drove my parents car down the highway at night.  Sure, it was a straight stretch of road and today I drive without even noticing it, but the first time was a very different kind of experience.

Those first times make you feel alive.

The first time you vacation somewhere everything it new.  The first time I went to Las Vegas was far more exciting than the third time.  My first trip to Victoria, British Columbia was wonderful and more exciting and fun than any time I have visited since.

How long has it been since you felt alive?

Now that I am in my thirties I have to admit that most of what I do I have done many times before.  It may be comforting, but it doesn’t feel as exciting and vibrant as doing something for the first time.

It doesn’t take any money to do something new.  In fact, you can take something that you do regularly and change it up so that you are doing it in a way that is new and exciting.

Even something as mundane as taking a shower.  Sure, the first time you took a shower by yourself it was probably pretty exciting.  You were not sure how to get the water exactly right and didn’t know how long it would last.  There were new sights and smells and even the feel of the water falling onto your body was a new experience.

Tonight I decided to do something new.  It was on a whim.  Something that I had never done before.  I took a shower in the dark.

If you are anything like my wife, you probably think I am a bit off my rocker, but I assure you that taking a shower in the dark, at least for me, was an exciting new experience.

It was completely dark, so just moving in the bathroom was a new experience.  I noticed that I kept the water extra hot, probably because the blackness around me felt so cold.  Every noise in the house stood out.  Reaching for the shampoo was no problem, but I had to use my sense of smell to find the right bottle among the many bottles that belong to my wife.  Rinsing soap I could not see was an interesting experience.

In essence, I took an otherwise mundane experience and made it into something completely new.

Another option is to take a cold shower, where you only turn on the cold water.  WOW…  that is completely different from what I am used to also.  I guarantee you will feel awake after one of those…  if you can stand it for the length of a full shower.

I just rearranged the furniture in my house and now every room has that new exciting feeling.  My front room is so different that every day when I walk out into it I am surprised.  Sure, the effect will only last for a week or two at tops….  that’s because I will soon be used to it this way.

The other day I bought a new piece of software for editing videos.  The first hour I thought to myself “wow, this is nothing like I’ve ever used before”.  Now, a just a couple days later it has already lost it’s excitement and is just another tool that I enjoy using.

How many gadgets have you bought and were excited to use it for the first time?  New cell phones are a great example of this.  It’s exciting to open the box and play with the new phone discovering all the features, but a month or two later it’s just a phone.

Here are some ideas of ways you can feel young again,

1. Go to a new restaurant

Try to pick somewhere with a new kind of food that you have never tried. Mexican, Greek, Indian, Russian, Middle Eastern, Tai, Chinese, Mongolian, Cajun, Sushi, or something you have never tried before.

2. Try a new sport you’ve never tried.

3. Try using your non-dominant hand for a day.
It’s amazing how strange it feels to do something with my left hand.  Even something as simple as signing my own name.

4. Take part in an activity new to you…
Try your hand at bingo or a play a game of pool or use a batting cage.  The world is full of activities that most of us have not tried.  You don’t have to be good at it in order to enjoy doing something new.

5. Get involved with a charity or community service.
Volunteering is a great way to interact with others and give back to the community at the same time. And sharing your time is not just good for your mental health. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, found that as older adults participated in Experience Corps, they showed both mental and physical improvements, including increased strength and endurance. By choosing activities that are personally rewarding, you may discover similar benefits.

6. Be a tourist in your own town!
You’ll be surprised how much there is to do right where you live!  Contact your local chamber of commerce or look your city or area up in Google.com  and you’ll be amazed at what you find to do and sights to see you probably never seen in your own area.

7.  Join a Local Group.
You can check out the website:  http://www.meetup.com/ and see what is going on where you live.  There are thousands of groups of people getting together for everything you can imagine and more.

8. Explore a new area.
It doesn’t have to be anywhere in specific, you could drive to a city that you have never been to before and spend the day exploring all the neat sights, sounds and local shops.  If you prefer the outdoors, when not hike a new trail or visit a lake or camp grounds you’ve never been to.

9. Explore New Romance, or Re-Kindle An Existing Romance.
It doesn’t matter how long you have been together with your spouse, you can rekindle that spark and find brand new excitement.  Share a candlelit dinner, create a thoughtful gift or take your partner out dancing.  Suprise him or her with something brand new and you may just find yourself pleasantly surprised with a new romantic excitement…  just like in the “good ole days”.

If your single, try dating someone unique or unusual and explore outside your normal comfort zone.

Of course, if you really want to spice things up in the bedroom….  you may want to explore 500 Love Making Secrets. It’s even Oprah approved!  Okay… nuff said on that.

10.  One of the best ways to feel young, and keep your mind young…  is to challenge your mind with something brand new.
Learning a new language is one of the surest ways to keep your mind young.  Rocket Spanish, is supposed to be the fastest way to begin speaking Spanish.  No only does it keep your mind young, but it opens the door to a whole new world of conversation and eaves dropping.  You’d be amazed at what Spanish speaking people will say to each other in front of you because they presume you can’t understand what they are saying.  That alone makes for great fun.
