While travelling today i felt this amazing feeling of 'new-ness'.

Something I have never felt before, and surely something you would begin to feel when you observe, watch and be still (i must say i am still getting used to this).

I felt like i was born again today. And i observed my surroundings and the objects, people and the nature in its totality!

Often, when we get used to doing a certain job, chore for a long long time, we almost perfect it and go into a mode of unconciousness, so much so we can do it with our eyes closed. When you are in this mode, (through my own experiences as well) your mind starts to wander to other thoughts, emotions or more important events. And also because of this, we lose the sense of satisfaction or happiness when we do the habitual chore, and we begin to find it a bore.

I believe in this entirely - Pretend. Today when you do something that you do routinely, pretend you do not know anything about it. Pretend you are learning it for the first time and the key is, SMILE when you do it.

Try this out - but remember to strip yourself of all the scepticism although this is natural when you start out, it is the mind's way of telling you to avoid trying to make yourself happy (i will explain this in later entries.)

Try it out and Trust.

Good Luck!
