The Secret to Health, Wealth, Relationships and Happiness
The secret on Netflix is an amazing boost of positivity and focus. I would recommend watching this - see trailer below.
The secret is the law of attraction. Everything coming into your life is to attracted to you by whatever you are thinking about.
THOUGHTS
Your life is a physical manifestation of thoughts in your head
You become whatever you think about - thoughts become things and thoughts have a frequency so think about what you want with all your focus.
If you think of what you don't want - you will attract it so it is important to think of only the things you want. Don’t focus on what you don't want, For example, don't say " I don't want to be late" or complain about how bad it is as both these will create what you don't want.
You are the masterpiece of your own life and you do it with your thoughts
FEELINGS
Feelings are a feedback mechanism of your body.
Many people just try and think good thoughts but nothing manifests in their lives. This is because they are not using their feelings.
The more that you feel good, the more you will attract the things that make you feel good so you should feel healthy, feel prosperous and feel love.
But how can you feel good if you are having a bad day or not feeling good. It's easy , just do one of the following.
3 STEP PROCESS
So how do you follow the secret. It is a simple 3 step process.
So start to change your thoughts, expectations and feelings.
Begin with making a daily list of things you are grateful for. You will then attract more of what you want.
Whatever you visualise, you materialize. Start dwelling on the end result that you want. For example close your eyes and focus on the back of your hands, see the hairs, feel the skin. Now imagine your hands are on the steering wheel of your favorite car , hear the engine, feel the speed . Imagine feeling happy, joyous and exhilarated.
Make sure you are persistent. Many people try and give up just before they reach success. As soon as you say "it doesn't work " then the universe will say "your wish is my command" so be persistent.
Don't worry about how it will happen - the universe knows the shortest quickest way.
So decide what you want , believe you can have it, deserve it and it is possible for you. Close your eyes, visualise having what you want and feel feelings of happiness and gratitude. Then release it into the universe and believe the universe will manifest it for you.
WEALTH
Declare what you want from the catalogue of the universe.
Make sure you think about what you want , not what you don't want. If you are thinking about getting out of debt, you are still thinking of being in debt and that is what you will get .
Focus on Abundance, not scarcity.
Visualise cheques coming in the mail. Visualise that money comes frequently and easily to you.
HAPPINESS
Go for inner things, inner joy then the outer things appear.
Think about things that make you feel happy and focus on these.
RELATIONSHIPS
Do you treat yourself the way you want to be treated? Make sure you treat yourself with love as you need to respect yourself before you can be in a relationship with someone else.
Love yourself ! This is not conceit but just love your amazing body and your wonderful self.
If you find yourself arguing in a relationship, get a piece of paper and write everything you appreciate about them,. Write a list daily.
HEALTH
Dis-ease means your body is not at ease. Diseases and all stress are feedback from your body that you are not balanced.
Many people have healed themselves by continuously saying "thank you for my healing" and putting themselves in a joyous state (e.g. by watching comedies and avoiding stress).
Albert Schweitzer said all healing is self healing. Your immune system heals your body.
Disease cant live in body in a healthy emotional state.
Anything we focus on we create, if we are angry - we are focusing on the anger which brings more anger.
Jung said "What you resist, persists ". Don’t be anti, be pro. Focus on what you want , not what you don’t want . .Mother Theresa understood this. She said she would never attend an anti war demo. but she would gladly come to a peace movement.
ENERGY
Energy flows where attention goes. We are all energy. Einstein's famous equation E=mc(squared) shows that energy and matter are interchangeable.
You are an energy field operating in the larger energy field of the universe. Everything is connected. You are an infinite field of unfolding psssibilites.
What are you going to do nw= when you focus on what your want the things you don’t want fall away. You are the author , the pen is your hand and the outcome is whatever you choose
Whenever you say I cant do that or she wont let me or he wont let me then every single I'm not is a creation. We are unlimited beings - we have no ceiling so don't limit yourself.
Your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is what you say it is.
You have a future of unbounded potential, unbounded possibilities. You deserve to be happy,. You were born to add something of value to this world so be best you can be .
Every single thing that you’ve been though ,that you’ve come through has prepared you for this moment. You are the creator of your destiny. Imagine what you can do from this day forth with what you now know,. Will you seize the moment? No one else can sing your song, or dance your dance or write your story. It begins now. I believe you are great. There is something magnificent about you. No matter how old or young you think you are. You now have the power that will take over your life, direct and sustain you. That is what I know for sure.
When the voice and vision inside is more profound and louder then opinions outside you’ve mastered your life
Life should be abundant--believe it , see it, act from it and it will show up for you
What you think and feel and belief and thank about , you bring about. That is the secret.
The secret is the law of attraction. Everything coming into your life is to attracted to you by whatever you are thinking about.

- Listen to music,
- Sing something that uplifts you,
- Think of something beautiful ( like a baby you love) - dwell on it and use all your senses)
- Feel love for something/someone (e.g your pet)
HISTORY
The secret is not knew and has been known for thousands of years.
In the bible in Matthew 7, 7 it states : Ask, and it shall be given you
The Buddha said "All that we are is the result of what we have thought"
In the famous story of Alladin, the genie always says "Your wish is my command". In modern versions the genie grants 3 wishes but if you trace the story back you find originally it was unlimited wishes. Think about the significance of that for a moment.
Whether you believe in God, or the universe or a higher power you just need to ask and believe and act in a way as if it was true and the manifestations of your wishes will appear.

3 STEP PROCESS
So how do you follow the secret. It is a simple 3 step process.
- Ask:
- Ask for what you really want. State it in the present tense, e.g I am so happy and grateful that ....... (say what you want in the present tense as if it already is happening).
- Believe it's already yours
- You don't need to know how. The universe will rearrange itself to make it happen
- It is like a car driving in the dark. You cannot see the whole route, you can only see 50 meters ahead but you can keep going.
- If you start doubting, replace it with unwavering faith. You can do this by continually saying what you want. Your subconscious will eventually accept it as true.
- .Begin to receive
- Feel good. It is a feeling universe so need thoughts and feelings to manifest in your life
- Go test drive your dream car, view your dream house. Start getting good feelings and associating them to the things you want.
- When you feel joyous, this is an intuitive nudge from the universe so act on it.
- Whether you think it is a big or small wish, it makes no difference to the universe so wish big.
So start to change your thoughts, expectations and feelings.

The secret to becoming more charismatic in just 2 minutes a day for 21 days - (Slatcher & Pennebaker, 2006)
Would you like to become more charismatic and a better leader in 21 days by doing a 2 minute exercise a day? Here is a great talk by Shawn Achor on how to do that. Fascinating, inspiring and empowering.
This is the one that is least adopted especially at the senior leadership level. It's the most powerful intervention we have on record right now for raising other people's perception of your positive charisma that is compared to any leadership training that we've seen so far. The reason is that this is so successful is what we have you do is over the past 24 hours you think about one meaningful experience you've had, just one and it could be very small, a conversation you had with a client, with a child, seeing a sunset, watching snowfall in London, maybe it was a book you were reading, whatever, for 2 minutes that is it, into a blank word document you just write down every detail you can remember about the experience and done. You don't talk about your whole day. Just for 2 minutes just write down every detail you can remember. The reason you are doing that is that you are actually getting your brain to relive that experience because if I hold my hand in front of my face, area 17 of my visual cortex lights up and says hand. Close my eyes and think about my hand in front of my face and area 17 of my visual cortex lights up and says hand. My brain can't tell the difference between visualisation and actual experience. So when you do this you've just doubled the most meaningful experience of your past 24 hours. You do this for 21 days in a row and your brain connects the cognitive dots for you, creating a trajectory of meaning running throughout your life. So now those emails that you have, those meetings, the commute you have actually wrap around the trajectory of meaning, which raises your authenticity. Authenticity is just ajudged by how meaning connects to the actual activities you are doing within your life. When authenticity rises, if we take videos of you guys speaking, and show it to naive raters, 21 days after doing a journaling exercise like this. Even though those raters don't know you or know that you are doing the journaling exercise, they judge you as having significantly higher levels of positivity and charisma as a leader. It is remarkable.
