Spring is in the air..a time to rejuventate and 'smell the roses.' Align yourself
with the 'real' you, the joyful you. The best way to do this is to continually and deliberately accept and be grateful for all that you are and have. Every day take an inventory of all the wonderful parts of your life: your family, your friends, your job, your health... Sift through what appears bleek at times and find that positive piece to focus on. Don't ever forget that you are a powerful creator and what you give your attention to is what will come to you. A negative focus is simply resistance to getting all you deserve;that you can overcome. So come alive this spring and all year long.
Start with our latest new tool added to our treasure box: Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Meditation... another way to keep you on track daily living The Secret. See our special introductory combo value above offered by MSM Sales.

Secret To a Long Healthy Life: Don't Worry
Happy 100th birthday
By Jennifer Elves, Taber Times, Canada
Wednesday, 28 May 2008
Shinyuki Kunimoto is generally a man of small words but when his grandchildren seek words of wisdom from him, he is never short of words.When Kunimoto, who celebrated his 100th birthday in Taber on the weekend, was asked by his granddaughter Kimberly what he would tell his grandchildren so they would have good lives like him, he said, "don't worry about anything."Kimberly says he has always had an easy-going nature.His ability to look at the bright side and not let anything get him down also came out when his grandson Brenden asked him at his birthday celebration in Taber on Saturday, what it felt like to be 100. Kunimoto told his grandson he doesn't feel any different than he did at 90."He said just not thinking about dying helps a lot because if you think about it you're just going to get depressed, so (he said) just to think positively and take one day at a time," says Kimberly.When asked what the secret is to living a long-healthy life, he says he always slept well, walked every day and had passions such as reading, gardening and fishing."He sleeps well, he always has. I always think, 'gee, I wish I could sleep like him.' He goes to bed around 8:30 p.m. and sleeps right through until the morning," says his wife Hisaye.His daughter Eileen adds he has also always been a healthy eater, partly because he wanted to be healthy and because he enjoys foods like vegetables, rice and fish. Kunimoto gardened all the way up until last year and when he was younger, his family members could find him out in the garden every day. When he reflects on his hobbies and looks over at a trophy in his living room he received for fishing, his eyes light up and he makes a point of reminding his wife, daughter and granddaughter how he was named the senior men's champion at the annual fishing derby in 1990 at 82 years old. He also used to have a baseball-cap collection, which he says was "just for fun."Today, he spends a lot of time relaxing and watching T.V. He says having good things to eat, watching T.V. and doing various things keeps him happy and satisfied.Kunimoto, who is originally from Japan, moved to Vancouver at 21, as the economy in Japan was not good. When in Canada, he sent some money back home to help his parents out. He spent most of his working days as a carpenter. He also worked on the oil rigs and did some construction in his earlier days. He built the house him and his wife have been living in for roughly 46 years, and helped to build W.R. Myers high school. From Vancouver, he moved to Princeton B.C., and stayed there for a few years before moving to Picture Butte, which is where he got married through an arranged marriage to Hisaye.The couple has been married for 62 years and has six children, two of whom live in Taber. Eileen and Bruce reside in Taber, their children Jodene and Ross live in Calgary, Dennis lives in Edmonton and Bob resides in Ottawa. He was 38 when they had their first child."He had us late in his life and yet he raised us with patience, kindness, compassion and with integrity," said Eileen, adding he always worked hard and played later.

Live in the Present...NOW
Living life consciously or deliberately does take effort. Your thoughts are the key. Keeping your mind aware of them is harder than it seems because we are so used to living life unconsciously. We get caught up in work, worrying, thinking about the past, what we have to do in the future so that we lose sight of the NOW. We need to be our own 3rd eye- watching, watching , watching!
Aware of the beauty of what's happening now...smelling the roses. It is worth the effort so we can feel that happiness that only comes from this state of mind.

The Choice is Yours
Listed in our book are over 42 recipes and exercises you can choose from to get going and living the secret everyday. This has been done purposely. The choice is yours. As the creator of your own life...you must be the designer of how you are about to create your reality. I like the idea of being able to structure my life in a conscious and deliberate way.
Only you can choose things that will keep you on track- choose the ones you are attracted to. And be simple- only select a few. You'll find that you will be doing more and more as the days go by. You will get tired of some and replace them with others. The activity we get the most emails about is the vision board. People enjoy doing this activity and it is such a good reminder. We'll focus on this in the next blog.

Staying On Track
The most difficult part of living the secret everyday for me is staying on track. I don't know about you but it is so easy to 'lose your way' and revert to old ways...that is to living unconsciously and by default.We all have such busy lives with to-do lists so long that they don't let us come up for air. We get into our 24/7 mode and literally neglect ourselves. This is one of the reasons I actually wrote this book. I didn't want what I learned from The Secret to be a pleasant memory not followed 3 months later.
I find that the best way to 'stay on track' is to daily remind myself that I want that joyful life and to live it deliberately.I make it as simple as possible.I use different recipes but never too many that will be too much to remember. Currently I have selected just 4 exercises from the book I do daily including reciting the mantra; using post-its to remind me to be grateful, meditating and creatively visualizing and writing in my journal ( which is part of the book).

Recipe 21: My Gratitude Post Its
After you make a list of all the things you are grateful for, take a series of strips of paper or post- its and write on each one something that you are grateful for from your list. Post them around your home where they will be constant reminders of all the wonderful things in your life. Read them out loud as you come across each one. Include them on your bathroom mirror,you refrigerator, your wardrobe mirror. on the dashboard of your car, on your computer and anywhere else you will see them. Change them every so often if you are tiring of them.

Accepting Where You Are To Move On
A few more words on the importance of gratitude. Gratitude is all about accepting where you are in order move on to the joyful and abundant life. When you are genuinely grateful for what you have and where you are in life now, you allow that feeling of well-being to stream through you. You are going with the 'flow ' towards all that you want. Conversely,complaining about not having what you want puts you in a resistive state and manifests what you do not want.
Most importantly: it doesn't matter where you are; all that matters is that you accept where you are and feel good about it. Life is about being happy now and the Law of Attraction will do the rest.

The Best Starting Point
Gratitude is such an important way to Live The Secret Everyday. Whether its being appreciative, being grateful or thankful...consciously and deliberately thinking this way will only attract more and more and more positive thoughts, people and experiences into your life. You will feel better and better as it becomes habitual. At first you have to work at it, probably because this is not the normal way you act.
Try it...it forces you to live in the NOW and connect to yourself.
As soon as you get up in the morning,think about what you are grateful for and verbalize it out loud or in your mind.Then as you go about your day consciously look for things and people around you that please you in some way and again and again verbalize them to yourself in your mind or outloud.
Part of a day might look like this:Thinking - Waking up~ I am grateful, I slept well; I really feel rested. I got a good night's sleep. I am thankful for my health. Wow, yeah it's going to be a beautiful day.I am grateful for the sun shining.I am thankful for my cute house. I am thankful for this great closet filled with so many beautiful clothes. I am grateful I look really good in this outfit. The highway is so open today- I'm grateful there is no traffic. I love my little car- she has been good to me. I am thankful for my job...it is such an interesting one. I'm grateful that I get to work each day with kids that I can help. It is very rewarding.I am so thankful that Carol works for me.She is so efficient and has such a warmth about her....
You won't believe how more and more thoughts of appreciation come to you as you do this exercise: it is the Law of Attraction.

Vacation Your Mind
It's been a while since my last post since I decided to take my own advice and vacation from my world of responsibility. Its wonderful to take that trip to Hawaii if you can afford it for 2 weeks... where you only focus on having a wonderful time and vacationing. Alternatively,you can do it at home. Clearing your mind of everyday worries and to-do lists is a fabulous exercise to do daily. Take a few minutes each day and decide to give your mind a vacation. In our book we give step-by-step exercises to relax, meditate or creatively visualize for this very purpose of clearing your mind and aligning yourself with your Source. Try it.

The Power of Affirmations and the Law of Attraction
" The human mind is constantly attracting vibrations
that harmonize with that which dominates the mind.
Any thought, idea, plan or purpose which one holds
in one's mind attracts a host of its 'relatives' to
its own force and becomes the dominating, motivating
master of the individual in whose mind it has been housed."
-- Napoleon Hill
