The Secret Playbook!
You have probably heard about the new movie and book that is taking the world by storm...The Secret tells how
you can have it all...health, wealth, happiness...anything your mind can imagine and want can be yours if you follow The
Secret! Although the advice is simple, putting it into practice isn't so simple...but it IS fun! Here's a tip that will
help you in your quest to follow The Secret and make your life all you dreamed it could be! Create your own catalog
of wishes...a playbook actually!
All you need is a 3-section notebook. A sketchpad would be wonderful too...just divide it into 3 sections. The first
section is your 'Gratitude Section.' The Secret states that before you are ready to accept all the universe has to
offer you, you must first be thankful for what you already have! The gratitude section is where you write daily the things
in your life you are thankful for. Everything from your family and health down to the most minute things...having enough
change in your pocket for coffee this morning, finding a parking spot close to the building when it was raining, etc. There are
no right or wrong answers. Anything you are thankful for should be written down in this section.
Just make sure you are truly grateful for what your are writing down. Then review this daily and really focus on one or two
of the items in the section. Feel what it is about them that makes you happy and thankful. Now that you are
in a thankful frame-of-mind, you're ready to move onto the second section.
Section Two is what I call "Lifes Luxuries" and it's my own spin on 'The Secret.' Here you write down anything that brings
you joy; The sound of robins singing; The smell of freshly-baked bread; playing with your two-year old; floral-scented rooms;
instant mood lighting and music at the click of a button...you get the idea. These things will occur to you over time and
your job is to write them down as they do. Now here's the fun part! Everyday you are to implement something from that list
into your life. It's like giving yourself flowers on a daily basis. Do something nice that you love...just for you! This
will bring little bits of joy into your life on a consistent basis. You are actively creating a joyful, peaceful and happy
place in your life and that is the emotional state you need to work from to make The Secret work for you! This brings
us to the third, final, and most fun section...the desires!
The third section of your notebook is your playbook. It's where you go back to Kindergarten and play and dream and
have fun with the universe. What do you want? What do you really want in life? Dream big! Then put down your desires in
this section. Cut out pictures and paste them down, write, draw, or do anything that symbolizes your dreams, but put your desires (all of them) down in this
section and keep adding to it! Then look at them daily and really feel how it will feel when you receive them...because if
you follow The Secret you will!
