Have you sat down and done this yet?

If you haven't already sat down with pen and paper, and made a list of all the places on the beautiful big blue bubble that you want to visit, then what the hell are you waiting for?

Do it right now. Just pretend that you have all the money and time you'll ever need. Just write out every single place that comes into your mind. Relax and let your mind go nuts.

Write out in detail what types of things you want to do when you visit these palces. After all, you don't want to just visit Montego Bay, see the airport and then get right back on the airplane and head back home, do you? Of course not. So write out all the things that you want to be doing.

Really do your homework on the places that you want to visit and ultimately, experience.

To get even more specific, write out how long you want to spend in each place. Again, i'm sure you'd love to spend an entire week in the south of France instead of just seeing it on a post card, don't you?

Finally, when you've written out where you want to go and how long you want to spend there and what you want to be doing, then put a deadline next to each travel destination. When do you want to travel to Destination xxx? This year? Next July?

If at all possible, cut out pictures from magazines and post them up some place where you can see them, so that you give your subconscious mind a target to focus on, and also to build up your desire to experience that place. It's sorta like holding a piece of steak in front of a starving dog. Can you guess which one of you is the starving dog...

The Crucial Part of this process is to do your homework on your desired destinations. You have to give your subconscious mind a target, something to focus on. You see, your subconscious mind is always working in the background, silently. Some people refer to it as GENIE that gives you everything you want... or don't want.

We each have inside of us something that has been termed a "Creative Mechanism". In simple terms, the subconscious mind has a way of making things happen, either things that we do want, or things that we don't want.

For instance, if you keep telling yourself, "I'm not gonna screw up, I'm not gonna screw up...", chances are that you will screw up. Why? Because your focus was on not screwing up.

Now, if you switch your thinking to " i'll do fine, i'll do good, i'll be calm and cool.." then that what Creative Mechanism will make happen.

Here's the proper procedure for focusing on what you do want:

1) Notice the situation as it is (ie I have a headache)
2) State what you don't want (i don't want to have a headache)
3) State what you do want ( I want to feel fine and feel relaxed and I want to feel good)

If you take this little procedure and apply it to the process of traveling anywhere you want to go, then it starts to look like this.

1) I'm stuck in xxx every winter
2) I don't want to be stuck in xxx this winter
3) I want to be surfing in Hawaii/swimming with the dolphins this winter...


Try his process out with the things and situations in your life and let me know how good it works for you.


Sincerely,
