What if you could learn the secret tool that Einstein used to develop a good portion of his theories? What if it was the same tool that helped a famous engineer design many of the products he patented? What if I told you this same secret was used by successful authors, business people, and other successful people of all areas? Would you want to know it? What if I told you this secret would cost you less than a $1? Well here is the great secret. It will help you access the mountain of untapped knowledge trapped in your subconscious mind. It is…a pen and a pocket-size notebook. Now before you find yourself feeling disappointed. Let me explain. Have you ever caught yourself having a flash of brilliance where you come up with a solution you have been working on for months? I’ll let you in on a little secret, it didn’t just happen at that moment. Your subconscious had been working in the background on it for days, weeks, months or who knows how long. Same goes for flashes of inspiration. How many times has this happened to you? How many times have you struggled to remember what it was ten minutes later? something to the effect of “I had the perfect gift for my aunt, but now I can’t remember what it was” Now not all your ideas will seem so great later on, but the majority just might. Not only will it relieve some frustration and help you be more productive, it also helps train your subconscious how to communicate with your conscious thus bringing about more knowledge for you to work with. So before you dismiss this as old-fashioned, or not useful just remember we wouldn’t have E=mc2 without it. If you still worry about looking funny with a pen and paper with you, they also make great new apps for tablets and smart phones that are just like notebooks. You will be amazed and excited at all the great ideas you capture!

GRATITUDE IN YOUR WALLET
Every so often an idea comes across me that has me super excited. This happens to be one of those ideas. A friend of mine who follows this blog shared with me a trick he uses to bring about feelings of gratitude for his financial situation. He also gave me permission to share it here with you and in my upcoming book. Money, let’s face it that has to be one of the most stressful issues for a lot of us. Especially if you end up with too much month at the end of the money as I so often do. This young man was in the same kind of situation and it got so bad every time he went into his wallet to pay for something he got a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. He didn’t even feel like eating. Which, he noted helped him spend a little less, but not the way he really wanted to. He decided he had enough of feeling that way and developed a process that I felt was ingenious and can’t wait to try. On a business size card of paper he wrote the word ‘GRATITUDE’ in very colorful letters. He had it laminated at a local office supply store. Then he placed it in his wallet. Simple enough right? Well every time he opened his wallet now he saw the gratitude card which he had placed up front. He then paused, and felt grateful he was able to make the purchase. “It was hard at first” he told me. Even though he tried to be grateful for the moments purchase his mind kept reminding him of all the other purchases he needed to make that he couldn’t. This happens because our brains have operated in the same manner for years. After a while, this man was able to focus on only the present situation and his ability to be thankful for what he was paying for. With a little tweaking I believe I have come up with a way to take this young man’s amazing idea and make it quicker, easier and more powerful. In addition to the word gratitude on the card I suggest adding a special thought/prayer/mantra that evokes feelings of gratitude for you. It could be a bible verse about being thankful, a quote from a famous person or just some words you have come up with on your own. An example would be “I am so grateful for the abundance flowing through me now that allows me to make this purchase as well as the abundance flowing to me in the future so I can make more purchases”
This helps in two ways. One, it takes the thinking out of the process so you do not have to worry about coming up with just the right words and can just focus on being grateful. Two, the words already assist you in feeling grateful and can help eliminate the struggles our friend had early on. If you noticed I also added a line about being grateful for future abundance. This helps by focusing your subconscious mind on opportunities for future abundance that it knows must come. In the worst case this idea will leave you with a better feeling about your financial situation. In the case of our friend he now has a better control over his financial situation and even has started a savings account, which yes, he also feels grateful when he deposits into it. So who knows, it may even help you turn your financial situation around. Either way, I am printing out my card today!
