100 Ways to Develop Your Mind
Shared from http://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog
1. Do the Thing You Fear the Most.
If there’s one thing that will change your thoughts quicker than anything else, it’s facing your fears.
2. Stand up For Yourself 
A lot of people have difficulty in standing up for themselves. The first time you do it can be veryempowering and your thoughts about yourself will change forever.
3. Stop Talking
It’s great to be silent for just a little while. Our thoughts turn inward and we begin to appreciateourselves just a little more.
4. Strengthen Your Strengths
Sometimes we focus too much on trying to strengthen our weaknesses when we should beconcentrating on strengthening our strengths.
5. Take A Walk Around an Art Gallery
 You might not appreciate art or participate in it but it’s great to see the thoughts of others oncanvas. It can give us a tiny glimpse of what goes on in other people’s minds.
6. Blindfold Yourself for a Day
Walk in the shoes of a blind person for 1 full day, it will forever change the way you think about life.
7. Stand on a Chair for 5 Minutes Per Day
Building self discipline is a great way to take control of your mind and your thoughts. If you just getup and stand on a sturdy chair your mind will be wondering what the hells going on and try andforce you to get off the chair. Disciplining your mind is a great way to start changing your life.Self Discipline
8. Dance When There’s Nobody There
It’s a strange sensation to dance on your own, although when I have done this I look like a doghaving a seizure, nonetheless it’s a great way to let go of your inhibitions.
9. Give Money to Someone Unexpectedly
Whether it be on the internet, or in the street, just give a larger than normal donation to someone. This again is liberating and your thoughts about money will change for a few moments (that’s all ittakes to start the process of changing your life.)
10. Strengthen Your Thoughts About Yourself 
Reinforce your thoughts about your good points. If you are good at talking to people, tell yourself this often. If you are good at maths, tell yourself often. This has the benefit of reinforcing andstrengthening your self image.
 
11. Take A Risk 
Life would be boring without ever having taken a risk in your life. Do something that you didn’t wantto do because you thought you wouldn’t be any good at it. This totally smashes the boundaries of your comfort zone and your life could change forever.
12. Talk To A Stranger
Again this is breaking our comfort zones, but just saying hi to stranger in the street or good morningcan have an enormous impact on your day and the person you said hi to.
13. Walk Around The House Naked
I can almost feel the shock at this. I don’t mean when you’ve got guests in, I mean when everybodyis out. Lock the door and totally liberate yourself and your thinking of what’s right and what’s wrong.I wouldn’t advise doing it all the time, but from time to time, it’s a great feeling.
14. Read A Book By An Author You Most Avoid
Reading books by authors we avoid gives us a chance to take control of our minds and lets us seeanother side to our thinking. We’ve got to ask why we avoid them in the first place, is it somethingwithin us that we are avoiding?
15. Write An Article About Yourself 
Imagine a newspaper has asked you to write an article of 1000 words or less about yourself and yourlife and they want to know what motivates you in life, now write the article. This helps put your lifeinto some perspective and gets you thinking about your childhood and growing up.
16. Stop Contact With Your Down People
If you have people in your life who constantly drag you down, or are negative all the time, dropthem. Honestly drop them from your life, you are not serving them and they are not serving you andthey are dragging your thoughts down.
17. Believe In Yourself 
A lot of people believe their life has been pre-destined and there’s nothing we can do to change it –absolute rubbish. YOU are the only person who controls the universe, yes I did mean universe. Youruniverse is different from mine so you control your own universe, think about that and start actingupon it.
18. Meditate Every Day
Another powerful thing that has the power to change your life and your thinking for good. Retreatinginto your mind for a few minutes every day will do you a power of good.Read How To Meditate
19. Ask For A Discount
When you buy anything from a shop that is over $100, ask for a discount. Tell the salesman you’dlike a 10% discount on the item. Most people are so afraid of doing this but it’s a great way toempower yourself and let go of another inhibition, what’s the worst that can happen?
 
20. Risk Embarrassment
Imagine if you had seen the person of your dreams on a bus, or at the store and you didn’t doanything about it how much would you kick yourself. If this happens to you, do something about it,don’t keep it hidden. Just say to them you thought you would come over and say how attractive theylooked and felt you had to tell them. You never know what will happen and how much your life couldbe changed. Obviously don’t turn into a weirdo and do it with every good looking person on thestreet.
21. Work Toward, What You Think, Is An Impossible Goal
If you work toward a goal without expectation you don’t care about the outcome as much. When youdon’t care about the outcome, you don’t have as much expectation.
22. Practice Gratitude
We all know what we don’t have in our lives because we spend a lot of time wishing we had them,but are we really thankful for what we have? Spend time every single day being thankful for thegood things we do have in our lives.
23. Do Something Nice And Don’t Tell Anyone About It
We tell others about our acts of kindness to let them know how nice we are and to seek approval. If you keep your act of kindness to yourself without ever telling anyone the feeling of positive energylasts much longer.
24. Share Your Skills
Everybody has a skill of some kind. When you share it you not only have the power to help others,but you enhance your own skill by owning it.
25. Don’t Talk Just Listen
Enhance your listening skills by not talking when someone is speaking to you. Resist the urge tospeak your views when someone is talking to you, just listen to them and ask them more openended questions at the appropriate times. This has two benefits: a) You can really listen if you arenot formulating the stories in your own head when someone is talking b) you will make the otherperson feel great as you are actively listening to them.
26. Write Your Future Life Story
Start from the age you are just now and start writing your future life story as you’d like it to be. Beas outrageous as you want and just write about your ideal life and how you interact with it. Words onpaper are powerful and can help shape your goals.
27. Give Someone A Gift For No Reason
We always assume someone buys us a gift for a reason whether it be a birthday, christmas orspecial occasion. Buy someone a gift just because you know they would like it.
28. Pass On Your Good Books
If you’ve read a book and it changed your thinking or life in some way, pass it on to someone elsewho might benefit.;
29. Spend More Time With Your Kids
