A big kid in an adults body!

I have always found myself to be an excitable person. Meaning it doesn’t take much to get me excited.

I am a very passionate, inspired and motivated lady hence I seem to manifest things to be excited about at least a couple of times per day.

I am not a child either. I am a 36 year old business woman and mum of a toddler! Although I love to see the world through my toddler’s eyes, everything is brand new and exciting.

You have to admit as we get older sometimes our lives become monotonous. Groundhog day is the best way to describe it.

I am a huge believer in The Law of Attraction. As I project excitement in my life it manifests into more things to be excited about!

Cappuccino. Need I say more? My daily cappuccino whether it be a sit down affair at a local, air conditioned cafe or a McDonald’s drive through one I can guarantee one thing. It makes me excited!

Morning swim at the lagoon. Ahh the serenity, plus some cardio exercise followed by a meditation float on my back enjoying the morning sky. The cardio gets my body producing endorphins and you guessed it, excitement.

Now it’s not just daily rituals that set my excitement emotion off. Usually the things that produce the most excitement are the ones that manifest with an air of serendipity.

Serendipity meaning the things that happen to fall perfectly into place that makes me feel wow the universe loves me!

A friend saying they are going away for two weeks and I am welcome to use their pool!

Having an article I am passionate about being published!

My daughter doing her first poo on the potty!

Making my favourite roast veggie pies for my family!

Exciting. Exciting. Exciting.

So I didn’t write this article to show off. Although I have to admit I am pretty excited writing this.

I wrote this to ask you to put this philosophy to the test. Do three things in one day that make you excited. This will be different for everyone. Then see if you can feel the roll on effect and have some random things happen to you to make you excited!

Let’s get back to living our lives with the wonder of seeing the world through our children’s eyes.

We would love to hear if you tried this and if it worked for you, share your comments below!

Yep, in my mind I’m a big kid in a grown up body. Doesn’t take long for my body to remind I’m not a kid anymore though :/ Hasn’t stopped me trying

I get excited a lot. I am a big kid at heart, and while others my age (31) do the whole ‘meh’ thing at things I find exciting, I never let them make me feel less than I am!

No one needs boring people to spoil their fun.. lol

What a great idea. As I feel very bored and unmotivated at the moment looking at things through new eyes is such a good idea. Three things a day to get excited about… I CAN DO THAT

I have never considered this before, however, doing three things in one day that makes me excited sounds like fun

I’ve never stopped having the youthful edge to life. At times people see it as being young, but it isn’t. It’s about not growing up just because I age. At 33 I am certainly able to have fun with my kids in ways that we all enjoy!

Hi ladies, thank you for all your comments. Its really nice to write from the heart and have others enjoy reading. Hehe actually it makes me excited! How is your excitement manifesting going? I was so excited to be getting my hair done today I forgot about having no patience for sitting in the salon for three hours! I would love to hear some excitement stories!

As a busy adult it’s so easy to forget to be a kid & feel the excitement kids feel about small things. What a great idea.

I really like the idea behind this, with two little ones I am often soo busy I forget to stop, enjoy and get excited about life. I love the idea of bringing it into daily routine and as of today I’m gonna give it s go. Thanks a lot

I am a bit like you Liz. My sister one said I get excited over the smallest of things. I think that’s a good thing! (-:

It’s a great article, but my question is how do you find something that makes you excited! I know of big things, e.g holidays, but daily, that’s more of a challenge.
