5 Attractions to Visit in Wellington, New Zealand

1. Wellington Zoo

The Wellington Zoo is different from most other zoos. Starting in 1906 with just one lion, the zoo is now a proud home to about 500 animals. The zoo's talking point is the unique experiences it offers to visitors. Get up close and personal with the zoo's red panda, giraffe, lion and cheetah. Or, if you're with a group of friends, why not opt for a zoo sleepover? This intriguing option allows you to spend the night overlooking the zoo's Monkey Island, and comes complete with meals. Whether you're there during the night or day, a visit to Zoo is a definite must.

2. Wellington Cable Car

Wellington's Cable Car is a tourist favourite. It is a unique and affordable way to take in Wellington's sights and sounds. Treat yourself to a scenic ride on these cars, which starts from the busy city, in Lambton Quay, through Kelburn Park and Upland Road. Here, you can find the observatory, planetarium and the Cable Car Museum. The view from the cable car is spectacular and offers you countless photo-taking opportunities.

3. Embassy Theatre

This theatre is one of Wellington's most famous icons and was host to the world premiere of The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. Built in 1924, the Embassy Theatre's design will transport you to the glamour and charm of the roaring 20s. With its marbled faade, wrought iron handrails and stylish foyers, it will take your breath away. The Embassy Theatre is still a functioning cinema, and combines old-fashioned charm with sophisticated technologies such as a giant cinema screen, state-of-the-art sound system and comfortable seating. More than just an icon, the Embassy Theatre is truly for those who want to watch their movies in unrivalled style.

The Magic of Words

It's impossible to over-emphasize the power of language. "I can't do that" is often followed by the inability to do something. "I never win anything" almost never results in a grand prize drawing with your name on it. "Why does this always happen to me?" usually brings more of the same.

As Florence Scoval Shinn once wrote, "Your word is your wand."

And yet, how many of us think we want something, only to hear the exact opposite fall out of our mouth? How many of us keep puking our past into our future? Far too many, I say.

If you are truly ready to make changes in your life, you've got to "get" that it all starts in language. It's time to become ultra-conscious about every single word that comes out of your mouth, if you want to create results that are different from whatever you've been getting.

Consider that every time you open your mouth, you're creating something. Are you creating what you really want? Or more of what you don't want?

For starters, don't talk about anything you're NOT going to do.

This encompasses a lot more than you may think. For example, don't say, "I'm starving" when what you really mean is "I'm hungry." I am amazed at the number of overweight people who keep saying over and over "I'm starving."

You must remember that your subconscious mind does not understand sarcasm, cannot take a joke, and only understands literal words.

So what happens when your subconscious hears "I'm starving" come out of your mouth? It clings to every fat cell, because it thinks you must be starving - your body shuts down and goes into starvation mode. You'll never ever lose weight if you keep saying "I'm starving" no matter how much you exercise, because you're telling your body to hold on to everything it's got.

"It's killing me" is another phrase worth eliminating. Interestingly enough, whoever started that saying is probably already dead. So if you don't want to follow them, stop saying it. I admit, this was a hard one for me to stop, being a child of the late 70s and 80s, when the expression was quite popular. Were you really "dying" to go to that concert? That's when you attract things like lethal car wrecks or freak accidents, when you're constantly saying you're "dying" to do this or that. I once read a story about a man who repeatedly said he'd give his right arm to make his sick daughter well. He was in a freak accident where he literally lost his arm. He got a big insurance settlement, which paid the cost of his daughter's required treatments.

What you speak about, you bring about. Period.

So what are you talking about all the time? Do you even know?

The interesting thing is that we don't really HEAR at least 50% of what comes out of our own mouths. And when someone else repeats it back to us, we are likely to say "I never said that."

If you truly want to know what you say, record your part of a few telephone conversations, and transcribe them during playback. I guarantee, you'll be shocked to hear what you actually said.

Once you become aware of what you are consciously creating through your every day language, the next step is to begin speaking about only what you want in your life.

If you're creating something every time you open your mouth, why not create what you REALLY want?
