How to Stop Taking Things for Granted and Feel Blessed

“I count my blessings every day, quite honestly, because I take nothing for granted.” ~Mario Andretti

You know that feeling.

When you feel bad about yourself for not being grateful enough. Maybe not often, but surely sometimes.

You are busy working hard, trying to make things work. Busy at life.

But then you see a nine-year-old painting a picture holding a brush with his toes. He has no hands.

And it hits you: You’re so busy trying to make your life better, you forget that it is already beautiful. You feel guilty for not being happy enough.

How I Found My Hidden Blessing in Life

When I left for college it was the first time I went away from home to a different city. My parents were concerned about how I would adjust to life in New Delhi. But I was excited. I wanted to do this.

As my college life began, I faced a problem: I was bad at managing my expenses. I had no idea how to spend money reasonably. Until then, my parents took care of everything.

The unspoken message had been, “You focus on your studies, and we’ll take care of your needs.”

Middle class families don’t lack in money, but the expenses are always modest. So when I ran out on my monthly share in ten days, I was horrified. Exploring the city with new friends, eating delicious meals in restaurants, buying a pair of Nike trousers all contributed to my downfall. Expecting a scolding, I told them what had happened.

But there was no scolding, just a reassuring “I’ll put more money in account today.”

A few weeks later, the same thing happened. I was sure this time they would get angry. But they didn’t. They simply poured in more money.

And that is when I realized: My parents truly loved me, but I had been taking it for granted.

They had always been there for me. Taking care of me. Loving me.

I wasn’t a spoiled child, and I knew they cared about me. But now I felt blessed. Their presence was a gift I cherished. The fact that they loved me unconditionally brought my ignorance to light.

Why Do We Take Things for Granted?

Our minds run around unchecked all the time, either waiting for a better future or regretting the past.

We’re always waiting for the perfect vacation, next promotion, more money, more whatever. We think, “Someday when X happens, I’ll be happy.”

Or we regret the past, like the end of a relationship, a lost job, or financial setbacks. We think, “If only X hadn’t happened, my life wouldn’t be a mess.”

But whether in the future or past, there is one place our minds are not.

The present.

And this is where our blessings reside.

How to Stop Taking Things for Granted and Feel Blessed

When I catch a cold, I realize how nice it feels to be healthy. When there are thunderstorms on the day I plan to go out, I realize the joy of a cheery, sunny day with a cool breeze blowing across my face.

Because our minds are so used to running around uncontrollably, we don’t realize that our focus isn’t where we are. It is almost always somewhere else.

But hidden blessings are available right now, if you can take a step back and notice where you are.

Seriously, do this.

Look at yourself reading this post. Notice the environment around you. I’ll give you a moment.

….

This is your real life. Here are the blessings hidden from your incessant mind.

Ask yourself: What good things have brought me where I am today?

You can start with the fact that you can read. You’re smart enough to follow blogs like Tiny Buddha. What about your wonderful friends? Your pet? Your health?

What else?

Just like time, blessings are relative.

Growing up, I went to a school with lots of children who came from rich families. It would have been easy to focus on what other students had that I lacked, such as new lunch boxes and fancy bags.

However, I was nothing close to sad or miserable. In fact, I had fun at school. Why did I have fun, despite having less than others? I recognized how I was fortunate.

My parents grew up in villages and received modest educations. And yet, they were smart enough to understand the importance of a good education, and made sure that my sister and I studied in the best English school of the city.

Now, that is a blessing.

I didn’t feel unlucky. I feel my parents did their part wonderfully.

It’s time I do mine.

Hidden in life challenges are some wonderful blessings. The difference lies in how you look at them.

You can list all the things you don’t have and feel sad about it.

Or you could put those very same things as your goals, chase them with passion, and build tremendous character.

Time to Thank, Time to Love

Yes, there will always be things you want to accomplish. There are goals yet to be realized. The future surely does promise better things.

But you know what?

The present, too, is a portal to hidden gifts.

Underneath your routine life is a hidden treasure trove of countless blessings. Each of those blessings has helped you reach where you are today. They played a crucial role in molding your life into the masterpiece it is right now.

So go right now.

Tell your mother you love her.

Pat you pet.

Thank your friends for showing up.

Celebrate life. Right here. Right now.

Go live.

9 Unique Ways to Start Having More Fun

“If you are not having fun you are doing something wrong.” ~Groucho Marx

I was at my eye doctor’s office many years ago and he asked me what I do for fun. He said he asks this of everyone to see how they use their eyes.

We got into a heavy conversation about how I feel many people no longer have fun. It seems like once people get into adulthood, we forget how or don’t even know what we think is fun.

Oftentimes, people get up, go to a job they hate, come home, make dinner, and watch TV before going to bed, just do it all over again the next day. And don’t get me started on how people waste their entire weekends on chores and catching up on errands.

The human race is bored!

My doctor shared a story with me about a time when he asked one of his clients what she did for fun, and she burst into tears. She admitted to him that she doesn’t have fun anymore. She is a wife, mom, and working woman, and she forgot what fun looks like.

She told him that before she got married she used to paint, but that she hasn’t in years. She used to spend hours, losing track of time, painting beautiful portraits. She said that painting was a huge part of who she was, and she lost that.

A few weeks later my eye doctor received a package came in the mail. It was a beautiful hand-painted card that this client had painted for him. She thanked him profusely for waking her up to her passion of painting. She took it up again and it was bringing her peace, joy, and fun!

Unfortunately, too many of us are just like this woman. We get caught up with the kids, house, job, chores, parents, dog—life—and we forget to have fun.

I make it a point to have some fun every weekend. It can be as simple as walking the dog with friends, working out, or doing something new I have never done before. I go back to work renewed when I have fun during my weekend. I am a better spouse, worker, and person.

Below are nine ways to add fun into your life:

1. Daydream.

Daydreaming gets a bad rap, but in fact, daydreaming is your mind’s way of sending your soul a message. If you daydream in a positive manner, you’ll be amazed at how creative your mind can be and the secrets it will tell you.

Take a few minutes a day to sit and be quiet and just let your mind wander. Daydream about the kind of life you’d like to have. Anything is possible in dreams, so let loose and don’t hold yourself back.

Pay attention and don’t think anything is foolish. You might want to write what you come up with on a piece of paper.

As the saying goes, “if you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders.”

2. Design your “perfect” twin.

Oftentimes we can’t imagine ourselves stepping out of our comfort zone and doing something new and different. We get so locked into what we know that we can’t let go of who we think we are.

Many years ago I gave a workshop and had the participants create their perfect “twin.” I asked them to make up another self that they wished to be. This exercise freed people; it gave them permission to be anyone they desired because it took the focus off of them.

This should be fun and freeing, so let loose and make your twin be anything you want! What qualities would you give your twin? What would they do for fun and work? Who would their friends be?

3. Write your own obituary.

Okay, this may seem rather morbid, but this can have an eye-opening effect. Imagine you are at your own funeral with all of your friends, colleagues, and family gathered around. What would you want them to say about you?

“Her house was always clean.”

“He was a workaholic.”

Or would you rather hear things like “She was so much fun, up for anything or “He didn’t take life too seriously and was always having a good time no matter what he was doing”?

Write what you think they would say currently, and then write another obituary saying what you’d like them to say. What do you need to change?

4. Create a vision board.

Still can’t figure out what’s fun for you? Try making a vision board.

Take a poster board and grab some old magazines, scissors, and glue. Flip through the magazines and cut out pictures and phrases that make you feel excited or hold meaning for you.

Once you have them cut out, paste them to the poster board. Do you see a theme? What is the board telling you?

5. Get rid of limiting beliefs.

What we tell ourselves becomes our reality. If we think we can’t do something, then we can’t or won’t even try.

For example, let’s say someone suggests skiing as something you might find fun. If you tell yourself that you’ll never be able to balance on skis, you probably won’t even try skiing.

Stop reinforcing these limiting beliefs and start telling yourself you can do it.

6. Give yourself permission.

So many people don’t give themselves permission to have fun because they think it will detract from their responsibilities.

Life is meant to be fun. What kid doesn’t love to see their mom or dad having fun, especially if it’s with them?

Yes, we all have things that we are responsible for—kids, parents, house, job—but we need to remember to add in fun and give ourselves permission to have it. You’ll be a better person for it.

7. Observe others.

Sometimes I like to watch other people who seem to be having fun. I can be too serious at times, and when I feel like I can’t loosen up, I watch other folks who can.

I had a gym teacher who was so much fun. Everyone loved her and she looked so comfortable in her skin and like she was having fun all the time.

What did I notice? She laughed at herself all the time, she found the positive in everything, and she genuinely appreciated the good things in her life.

Without her even knowing, she taught me how to have fun just by being herself.

8. Count your blessings.

People who count their blessings rather than complain about their troubles just naturally have more fun.

Think about the people you know who are always moaning and groaning about their life. How much fun do you think they have? Would they even know fun if it bit them in the nose?

Start a gratitude journal and see how much more fun life becomes without much effort.

9. Stop being a perfectionist.

I knew a woman many years ago that loved to knit, but wouldn’t show anyone her pieces because she thought they weren’t good enough. In fact, she gave up knitting years before because she thought she wasn’t good at it.

Who cares if you aren’t the best golfer or guitar player? If you are having fun and you enjoy it, isn’t that the most important thing? You may or may not improve with time and practice, but that isn’t what matters.

—

You don’t have to feel that something is missing from your life or accept that your life is dull. It simply takes a little bit of hunting and soul searching and you can bring some joy and fun back into your life.

Try these nine tips and see how much fun you and your family can enjoy.

Remembering Wayne Dyer

I first met Wayne Dyer in 1994 when he was speaking at a church in San Diego. My son Charles and I attended his half-day workshop, and participated in the exercises that he led the audience through. After the workshop, I interviewed Wayne for a national magazine on which I was a staff writer. He was kind, gracious, and very generous with his time.  I remember driving home from that workshop feeling elated from the inspiration which Wayne imparted.

Two years later, I was scheduled to speak at the Whole Life Expo in San Jose, California. I was a new and unknown speaker and I had the daunting timeslot of being scheduled to speak at the same time as Wayne Dyer was giving a keynote address in another room at the same convention (the expo had simultaneous speakers). 

My workshop room had fewer than 20 participants, as everyone was in Wayne's room for his speech. I completely understood and accepted this situation. However, I was very grateful when Wayne walked into my room before our workshops started. He got on stage and announced to my audience, "You are very smart to be here to listen to Doreen tonight, you made a wise choice!" Then he gave me a supportive hug and walked to give his keynote speech.

The audience and I were all starstruck and grateful for Wayne's blessing that night.

Over the next decades, I had the honor and privilege of speaking at events with Wayne in Australia, Canada, Europe, the UK,  and throughout the U.S.  Whenever I'd see him, Wayne would make the time to stop and chat. There was never any sense of him being in a hurry to go somewhere more important. He was always fully present.

When I moved to Maui, I saw Wayne more frequently in everyday casual settings.  Wayne was always positive and his eyes twinkled with the light of someone who loves life.

Thank you Wayne for being a wonderful role model of living life in-the-moment, and for exuding positive energy. Thank you for all of the support you gave to me over the years.

It's still difficult to believe that you won't be physically in my life, in our lives, any more. You were so iconic and such a fixture in my life these past 20 years. We will all miss your physical presence, and my prayers are with your loved ones.  I take solace in knowing that your soul is now free to rest, explore, learn, and teach. God bless you, Wayne!

Love, Doreen

HOW JULY’S BLUE MOON WILL AFFECT YOUR INTUITION, LOVE & EMOTIONS

You might still be buzzing from the light of the June 21st Solstice. The Solstice is initiated as our Sun moves into 0 degrees Cancer – a time of pure potential and spiritual protection. The Solstice is a magical transitional time, when the veils between the heaven and earth and lifted, giving you a glimpse into the light of your soul, and the soul of nature.

No matter where you live in the world, this is a time to celebrate your LIGHT – above and below, within and around you. Your inner light will be shining more brightly now, connecting you more deeply to your FEELINGS, and illuminating your INTUITION. You’re going to be connecting deeper to your inner light all month, as it illuminates your path.

WHILE THE SUN SHINES BRIGHTLY, THE MOON’S ENERGY IS IN FULL FORCE

You’ll feel the moon’s influence more strongly this month. We’re in the Sun Sign of Cancer until July 22nd. The psychic, sensitive sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon, pulling you deeper into the depths of your emotions.

JULY BEGINS WITH A CELESTIAL KISS

We start July with a big bodacious full moon, and a conjunction between Venus (our planet of love) and Jupiter (our planet of expansion). This means your power of love will be expanded! You’ll be more inclined for romance, joy and beauty. You’ll be basking in this loving energy all month.

BLESSINGS OF THE BLUE MOON

July is blessed with not only one, but TWO FULL MOONS. This event is not common, which is why this occurrence is called a BLUE MOON. Yup, the blue moon has nothing to do with the color – it’s what you call the second full moon in a calendar month. It’s pretty special :)

We’re having a beautiful full moon on July 1st and 31st – the first and last day of the month. This is the heaven’s blessing us all month with this powerful celestial force. With the moon strongly tugging at your emotions – you’ll be more in touch with your passions and purpose than ever!

Full moon’s are always a time of heightened emotions and intuition. Have you ever noticed you’re more emotional during a full moon? In astrology, the moon governs your emotions and inner life, including your intuition. The natural element associates with emotions is water. If you’ve ever seen how the moon affects our tides, you’ll understand you can’t ignore the moon’s powerful pull on your feelings.

LOVE IS ALLL AROUND YOU

Love is in the air all month with our number vibrations lighting up your heart chakra. In numerology, July 2015 is a 15/6 Universal Month (7 + 2+0+1+5 = 6). 6 is the number of love, beauty and harmony. Everything in your being will be energizing you toward having more love in your life. This will have a beautiful affect on your relationships, romance, career, and family.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

Because your emotions will be amplified all month, it’s important that you pay attention to them. You’re feelings are your intuitive guide. If you feel drawn to a person or activity – take the steps you need to deepen your connection. If you’re feeling uncomfortable about a person or circumstance, have the courage to release any energy that doesn’t benefit your well-being. When you honor your feelings, that will be reflected by the world around you. Just like the moon reflects the sun’s glorious light.

Have a beautiful month, and remember to look up at the sky!

12 Daily Habits: The Art of Creating a Brand-New You

A few years ago, I wasn’t the person I wanted to be…

I was prioritizing the wrong things, focused on accomplishments and not growing as a person. I began my own path of personal development that would help me become the person I was capable of being.

And what have I received in the last couple of years?

More fulfilling work and closer relationships, but more than anything else, a better relationship with myself. I’m becoming internally the person I want to be so that I can create positive change in my life and achieve my dreams.

This has taken quite a bit of work.

I’ve taken on daily personal development habits that have helped me become an entirely new person.  These daily habits have been game-changers for me.

Not only have I experienced profound inner growth and peace, I’ve started seeing dramatic improvements in all areas of my life.

These habits will do the same for you.

Here are 12 daily habits that will help you become the person you want to be.

1. The Art of Silence

For much of our days, we focus on the external. When we’re not speaking to someone or working on something, we are stuck perpetually on our smart (dumb) phones, checking in with other people, browsing Facebook and loving our neighbor’s Instagram updates.

To focus on yourself, you have to put all this aside for at least a few minutes a day.

To create daily quiet time, commit to practicing silence for a few minutes. If you can’t keep quiet and refrain from doing anything for a few minutes, try other practices, like meditation or prayer.

You can also take a walk – even better, a walk in nature to help you disengage from the outside world. Whatever you do, don’t take your cell phone with you. You’ll live without your iPhone!

2. The Art of Exercise

Exercise can be a life-changing personal development habit.

I remember Scott Dinsmore writing about the powerful habit of being fit a couple of years back. He mentioned that staying fit was the habit of Richard Branson and so many other top performers in the world, from the President of the United States (Barack Obama) to the world’s top bloggers (Chris Guillebau and Leo Babauta). 

If exercise was having such an impact on all of them, there must be something to it. As Scott pointed out, “The people who do well have pointed out that the more they respect their body, the more it will do for them.”

The secret to daily exercise is to pick something you enjoy doing, something that you will create time for and that you can start in small increments.

It doesn’t have to be something like training for a marathon or becoming a yoga instructor. Do whatever you can, even if only for a few minutes a day. Walk, swim, jump rope, go for a jog – anything that brings physical movement to your life.

3. The Art Of Seeing The Future

Alright, you don’t have to become a psychic.

You can practice living in the future by assuming that what you want is already here.

Yes, visualization.

When you set goals or have dreams, you must intend to achieve them and actively work on them. However, it’s also helpful if you can see your future in your mind.

Not just see it, but feel as though it has already happened. If your goal is to be a world-famous chef, start picturing yourself as a world-famous chef. Visit fancy kitchens, hob-knob with local chefs and spend hours in the kitchen honing your skills. Imagine yourself on television, stir-frying in world-famous hotels and giving autographs during your cook-book signings.

It’s not at all extreme to sit down in a bookstore and sign some books to give to your fans. (Of course, first purchase the books and try to be discreet so security doesn’t kick you out.)

See it in your mind. Feel it. Act it out. Make your dream a present reality.

4. The Art Of Affirmations

Underneath your mind is your subconscious mind, which you can’t see, touch or talk to.

It stays there, silently making its own decisions, developing its own beliefs and living its own life in a tropical paradise known as the inner self.

Your subconscious friend has a mind of her own. While you may think you’re in charge, you’re really not. She’s in charge.

And how do you influence this inner subconscious person who resides within?

Affirmations.

No matter what anyone says and how silly it may seem, affirmations work.

When you repeat these inner self-help mantras, you are conditioning your subconscious mind. While your subconscious wants you to believe you’re a hopeless person without confidence and that you deserve a life of poverty, you can counter those inner thoughts with affirmations.

Here is an example of 35 affirmations you can use on the daily. One habit I’ve found effective is to write a couple of affirmations in places where you spend a good portion of your day. Doing this, you’ll receive continual reminders to repeat these affirmations.

5. The Art Of Blessings (Counting Them)

When you think about how good things are in your life, you can’t help but feel more positive, more inspired and more motivated.

But what if you think nothing is going well and you’re in complete despair?

Here’s the trick and it’s one you must try out in your life – counting your blessings.

I try to write 10 things I’m grateful for each day. Sometimes this list goes on toward the upward count of 30 to 40 things that I’m grateful for.

Incorporate a gratitude practice and see how your life changes. It just takes a couple minutes a day to consciously note everything that is going well for you and all the people who are being good to you.

And here’s another secret – the more you appreciate the good things that come your way, the more good things will come your way.

6. The Art Of Giving

Last year, on a daily basis, I tried to do something for someone that would improve his or her life.

It can be the smallest thing in the world that has the biggest impact – a compliment, a smile, leaving the door open or almost any little thing that brightens someone’s day.

If you’re in the service profession, take it one step further by going out of your way to help your customers a bit more. Take a little more interest in them. Show a little more compassion toward their problems or concerns.

By practicing the art of giving every day, you develop the habit of caring about others.

Other ways to give include volunteerism, service days, donations of money or time and more. Become a giving machine.

7. The Art Of Insight

You don’t need a therapist couch to learn more about yourself and gain additional insight into your life.

Sure, you can work with a life coach or talk with a friend to help you get mental and emotional clarity.

Or you can do it on your own. How?

Write.

And no, you don’t have to write for the masses in a blog.

Instead of publicly blogging, you can journal your thoughts, problems and life dilemmas. Ask yourself the questions you’re confused about and watch the answers magically appear in your writing.

You have the answers to your life.

8. The Art Of Growing Your Mind

Engage in a practice every day that grows your mind and your knowledge base.

Get inspired by reading, listening to audio-books, watching Ted talks or taking in other inspirational content.

By listening and watching motivational content, you can’t help but improve.

Don’t become a serial inspiration junkie, though. Don’t just soak in content and live your life the way you were living it previously.

What is the one thing you can take away from the book you read or the video you watched? Write it down and apply it to your life.

9. The Art Of Presence

It’s hard in today’s world to focus on the task at hand, but turn every situation into a game in which you’re focused only on the task in front of you.

It’s especially distracting to work online while checking Facebook and Instagram every two minutes.

One way I’ve found to stay focused is to have a piece of paper next to me. Every time I feel like I want to stop focusing on the task at hand, I write down a hash mark. I keep track of the number I’m creating. Being aware of how often I get distracted helps me stay focused on what’s in front of me.

Commit to focusing on one task at a time and especially on the task in front of you. You can’t do more when you multitask. You do more when you’re fully present with what you’re working on right now. 

10. The Art Of Priorities

You can do this every day or the night before for less than five minutes a day.

Just five minutes of planning can drastically alter your life and your day.

In the earlier part of the day, determine what your day will look like. Do a little planning.

Note all your “must-do” activities and your “should-do” tasks. Determine which are important and which can wait.

Plan and prioritize your day for a few minutes every day and watch your life and career transform.

11. The Art Of Dining

Whoever said there was an art to dining?

You just stuff down as much junk food as you can or food that makes you feel good without a second thought.

Hogwash.

The way to design the most productive and effective you is to be mindful of your food.

You can change your health, emotional well-being and mental well-being by changing your diet.

And the most efficient diet for your well-being is a plant-based diet that includes fruits and vegetables.
Also, reduce sweets, snacks and sugar. Cut down on fat, GMO food and processed food.

Consider eating less fried food and cutting down on high-calorie desserts. Less sugar-filled, high-calorie drinks and more water.

Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

12. The Art Of Down Time

Instead of planning every single minute of the day, schedule time off.

You don’t have to be busy and occupied every hour.

You need time to refocus, get re-energized, rest and relax. You need time for affirmations, visualization, relaxation and exercise.

Use your down time to complete the activities mentioned in this post.

Don’t wait until you have time to relax before you take time off. Downtime won’t just appear; you have to schedule it.

Develop healthy living and eating habits that put you in a state in which you’re ready to create a new life for yourself.

It’s the small consistent steps to improve your health and well-being that will help you achieve success.

Your greatest life begins with the small actions you take today.

Are you ready to create a masterpiece life? Which of these personal development habits are you going to implement in your life today?

7 Easy Ways To Teach Kids The LOA

Have you ever wondered where you would be in life right now if you knew about the Law of Attraction when you were younger? 

And can you imagine how the ‘children of today’s’ lives would be different if they started consciously creating their ideal futures now, instead of when they were older?

It’d be AMAZING, right?

If you have kids under your care, and you’d like them to have happy and fulfilling lives, then why not introduce them to the LOA while they’re young?

Kids are much more receptive to learning the LOA effectively as their minds haven’t been contaminated with the emotional baggage and limiting beliefs that adults have picked up throughout their lives.

If you have children around you right now and would like to introduce the LOA into their life, here are 7 easy tips to get you started:

Tip 1 - Teach them the power of affirmations. A good way to introduce children to the LOA is by explaining the power of words to them and how they can affect their mood. 

Ask them to describe how they feel when they say a positive affirmation like ‘I am always happy’ out loud, and how they feel when they use negative ones like ‘I can’t’. Help them to understand the power of each.

Tip 2 - Encourage giving. Whenever you encourage kids to share their toys or donate them to someone less fortunate, you’re also teaching them how to let go and detach themselves from things. 

The cycle of giving and receiving will also ignite a flow of abundance in their lives.

Tip 3 - Ask them to name their blessings. We know how important it is to be grateful for what we have and the important role that gratitude plays when we’re looking to attract something into our lives. 

Teaching kids to appreciate all of the good things they have in their lives is also a good way to open the floodgates to abundance.

Every night before they go to bed, ask them to name 10 things that they’re grateful for in their life. They might even surprise you by naming more than 10. 

Tip 4 - Encourage them to cultivate inner peace. Introducing them to meditation or yoga is a great way to help them understand their emotions so they can learn to relax and manage any potential stress. 

Tip 5 - Grow their imagination. Show them how to focus on their dreams by creating fun vision boards together. This is a great way for them to set goals and it teaches them that by focusing on what they want, they can attract it into their lives. 

Tip 6 - Encourage positive thinking with positive words. When you must say no or discipline your kid, rather than using words like: ‘don’t do this’ or ‘don’t be late’ or ‘don’t forget’…use words like: ‘remember to do your homework’, or ‘remember to get here on time’. 

Tip 7 - Help them adopt the LOA as a way of life. Leading by example and adopting the LOA as a way of living can be much more effective than trying to explain concepts that may be difficult to understand. Remember to keep it simple by living with an abundance mindset.
