How To Discover Hidden Talents Within You And Begin Appyling Them In Your Life Now
Have you decided it may be time to start creating some new
excitement in your life? If you are now retired, soon to be
retired, or just now reaching those "golden years" do you
feel your life has become a little dull? Uneventful? Maybe
even a little discouraging? After all, when you reach this period in your life, your
routine may have changed, your energy may have dwindled and even your drive may have simply slowed down a bit. So if you are not happy with this situation what do you do about it? Well here's something to think about that could just change the whole picture. Over the years all of us have developed certain talents.
Probably more of them than you might believe. You may have dramatically excelled in some of those at a higher degree than the average would have. Maybe today you no longer use those talents anymore because they were either career related or you just lost your excitement about them. You may have even forgotten about them now and they could have even become hidden for years. Well so what! What's this got to do with creating some
excitement in your life today? Plenty. Because you might not realize how much joy you could create in your life restoring these talents. You may not realize what you could do with these talents to help yourself and/or others enjoy life even more. See if you can dig out some these talents now and apply some of those in your life today. OK so what if you are interested in doing this. What do you need to do to bring these to the surface once again? Here's one way; "Brainstorm." Select a time and place where you can spent some quiet time by yourself and relax. Now think back to your childhood days, your early school years, your high school and/or college days, your military service, your first job. Think all the way up to your adult years. Then try to remember what things you were good at doing? What got you excited? What turned you on? What were the activities you enjoyed doing the most with family and friends? Were you a promoter, a good communicator, a good listener, a terrific athlete, a dancer, a singer, a musician? What did you excel in at best? Think, think and think some more. Then apply them in your life now and watch your enthusiasm skyrocket. In my book "Absolutely Senior" I talk about how some of my earlier talents resurfaced and how I was able to apply them in my life to bring me more joy than I ever realized. What a thrill it has been. What great benefits it has provided me and others in my life. You might not realize this but by doing this simple exercise it could not only help you enjoy life more but also be the best medicine you could take to keep your mind off your illnesses, your problems and/or challenges or anything you may be facing that's unpleasant
in your life. This could be just one step closer to learning "How To Have
The Best Time In Your Life For The Rest Of Your Life". Go for it! Want to learn some more about my ideas?

Five Basic Steps to Benefit from Your Creativity
The ability to exercise your creativity is even more important for you than you probably think. Why? First, your creativity tremendously contributes to your self-actualization, which is essential for you to feel satisfied with your life and be happy. Second, it is exceedingly important for being successful in building relationships and earning money.
The Creativity Creed
I believe that creativity is a natural order of life itself
and it provides my life with the purest of energies.
True Power Series Part I. Visualization: Image Production and Verbal Thought
(5 minutes a day)
There is no limit to what you can visualize. The most effective visualization
usually happens when emotion is connected with a strong image as, for example,
when you really want something specific that you think will make you happy. But,
visualization can be used to change core beliefs, to combat what you may
consider a negative belief, without trying to oppose that belief. Say you would
like to have greater abundance, but you believe there's something inherently
wrong with money. You want to make a change. To make that change, you can
visualize all the positive effects affluence can have in you life. You can
attach positive visuals, emotions, even sounds to the idea of money and begin to
make new associations. This will begin the process of drawing affluence to you
because your beliefs have been repelling it.
To do the visualization exercise, you must agree to suspend your disbelief for
only five minutes a day. Agree to give yourself completely to this fantasy for
that time without distractions, objections, fears, or doubts. You had no problem
pretending you were Batman in third grade. The same sort of abandon is needed
here. Bask in the fantasy for this short period of time and, when it's through,
you can indulge in all of your doubts again though over time you will learn not
to do so.
Visualization Exercise
The only time you can ever accomplish anything is in the present. The present is
where everything happens, and there's tremendous power here. Look around the
room. Take notice of where you are and how you feel in the moment.
Now, close your eyes and imagine that the thing you want is already in
existence. Feel what it feels like to have accomplished what you want. Color the
experience with as much feeling and emotion as you can muster up. Experience as
if it had already happened, as if it was in the present. See it in your mind
with as much detail as possible. If you're not good with visuals, then do the
same thing through verbal thoughts, talking to yourself about what you want,
repeating the idea in your mind, feeling and experiencing the sensation of the
idea. Stay in the present while you're doing this. It's happening NOW. What you
think of as your normal everyday life no longer exists. This new idea is what
you're experiencing.
When you're done, drop the idea completely. Don't worry about accomplishing it,
but do look for new ideas, impulses, gut feelings, and new energy that will
begin to guide you to what you want.
Notice when you have thoughts during the day that contradict what you want, and
realize they're just thoughts, non-active ones, because you're now building new
beliefs. In other words, learn to write-off thoughts you don't want without
combating them. You notice them and let them go.
It may be some time before your new beliefs or ideas "take." Even if you get
quick results, keep doing the exercise. You want to make sure your new belief is
more powerful than competing ones. It's important to do the exercise only once a
day for the proscribed amount of time. More is not better because to do more is
to focus on the new belief out of fear instead of trust, thereby defeating your
work. Mindlessly doing the exercise and letting it go is always most effective.
Give yourself a month before you check your progress, and continue to do the
exercise as long as necessary.
If this exercise isn't your cup of tea, then look for upcoming articles on
self-hypnosis, affirmations, diagramming, treasure-mapping, and much more. Or,
think creatively of your own ways to visualize or affirm new realities for
yourself.
