7 Life Secrets!
Ever notice that some people seem to have life all figured out, while the rest of us are still struggling? I set out to find out what they know that the rest of us don’t. What I discovered was 7 Life Secrets that when implemented on a regular basis, allow you to live a more joyful and meaningful life. The great thing is that anyone can apply these tools to transform their life. . So what are these secrets….
Life Secret #1: Gratitude
Most of us go through life constantly comparing our self to others. Without realizing it, we subconsciously take a mental inventory of what we don’t have! This feeling of lack causes us to be stuck in the same cycle. By changing our thoughts to gratitude, for even the smallest things, we begin to raise our vibration.
The universe follows the simple rule called The Law Of Attraction. Whatever we think and feel we eventually attract. If we feel lonely, angry, poor, & frustrated.. the universe will present us with situations where we experience this over and over again. When we feel grateful and happy for the gifts we have in life…our health, loved ones, home & food..the universe responds with more experiences that lead to joy.
Life Secret #2: Live Each Moment
Life has a funny way of making us feel invincible. We live each day as if we have all the time in the world. The truth is, life is precious, and we don’t know when our time here will come to an end. It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day hustle and forget why we are here.
In today’s world, most of us spend a large portion of our time trying to make a living. When we have some down time, we immediately turn to technology. It’s become so addicting, that many people forget to enjoy quality time with those around them or step out into nature. By making a conscious effort to be present and enjoy each moment we can experience real joy.

Life Secret #3: Control Your Reactions
We all know that life is constantly changing and we can not control nor predict it! Sometimes events cause us to get so angry, only to find out later on that it prevented a bigger disaster. A slow driver on the road could deter us from a possible accident further ahead. A job interview that we didn’t go well, could really free us for the next one which is better. So how do we learn to view things from a bigger perspective instead of feeling frustrated?
One of the best methods to control our reactions and become calmer is through meditation. This simple practice of quieting our thoughts opens up a whole new way of thinking along with tools to deal with life’s problems. The great thing about it is that anyone can do it and with a little practice it becomes second nature.
Life Secret #4: Discover Your Talent
We each have a unique talent that we came here to explore. It could be as subtle as your warm personality that allows you to easily connect with others, to being a gifted athlete or artist. More often than not, we focus our attention on other things in life and never develop these gifts.
Discovering your purpose requires trying new and different things until you find the right one. We all carry this fear of failure that prevents us from taking chances, but when we take a leap of faith and pursue our passions, life takes on a whole new meaning. This feeling is one of life’s greatest gifts and is one of the main reasons we are all here.

Life Secret #5: Choose Your Words
Words have more power than you think! Just think of the last time someone complimented you and how you felt, versus the time an angry driver yelled at you on the road. Whether they are positive or negative, they have a profound affect on our feelings.
Many of us don’t realize that how we talk to our self can often cause the most damage. Our subconscious mind absorbs all the words and thoughts we have throughout the day. When we say things like “I’m fat, I”ll never make it, or These things always happen to me” it only reinforces the reality we see. One way of changing the words we use is through Affirmations. Reading them out loud is a great tool to reinforce positive words that can lead to the change we desire. Likewise, speaking kindly to others allows us to bring the best out of people.
Life Secret #6: Stay Humble
Being humble is truly one of the most noble characteristics a person can have. It allows us to connect with other people on an deep level, regardless of our success or achievements. As human beings, this connection is one of the best ways we experience joy.
We all have moments in life when we feel insecure and moments when we feel confident. Yet in the course of a lifetime, we all get to experience both of these feelings. By staying humble, we are putting aside our ego and embracing others as equal.

Life Secret #7: Be Kind To Your Body
When we are born, we are connected to our body for this journey through life. Often times we take it for granted, forgetting this super machine needs the right maintenance and fuel to keep running.
The fuel is the food we eat. We all like to indulge and enjoy all the good things in life, but like anything else, balance is key. Water is one of those essentials that our body craves in order to sustain itself. Choosing healthy foods and staying active can really help us feel energetic and vibrant.
Rest is the maintenance our bodies need in order to recharge. Going to bed a little earlier or taking a nap throughout the day can really improve our energy and performance. It is no wonder that many countries allow businesses to operate around schedule that allows them to take a break mid day and return to work afterwards. If sleep is something that you are struggling with, try this sleep meditation …it works wonders.
