Chapter from Ultimate Travel - Luxury for Less (un-published)

VISUALIZATION: CREATING THE LIFE & TRIPS OF YOUR DREAMS

You may wonder what a chapter on visualization is doing in a book called Ultimate Travel.

This is beyond the scope and practical details of Loyalty Rewards, and yet it is the foundation

for creating and allowing yourself to experience the types of trips and journeys described in

this guidebook. In fact, visualizing is probably something you do already, perhaps

unknowingly in ways which may or may not support a positive experience.

Many travelers have been conditioned to believe travel is hard and exhausting. They begin

their journey with this attitude and this expectation, which unfortunately ensures this will

become their experience. It is imperative to be conscious with your intentions. If you notice

yourself thinking in ways which do not support a positive situation, you can decide to make a

different choice — a choice that is more aligned with Ultimate Travel. When you deliberately

choose to have an optimistic outlook from the moment you begin to conceive your trip, (and

gratefully acknowledge signs along the way that you are on the right path), you will be guided

to a magical journey you may never have considered possible. You have to dream about The

Ultimate Trip and believe you are worthy of it BEFORE IT CAN HAPPEN. So, let’s get

beyond that old vision of imagining yourself waiting in long lines, only to get stuck in the

middle seat in the back of the plane between two large people with a screaming child seated

behind you and let’s get to it!

No, you do not have to dream or visualize every detail — those will occur after you put

energy into the beginning phases of your trip. In fact, once you have decided where you want

to go, it is usually rather amazing how quickly it all comes together. Oftentimes you will have

just booked the flight and find yourself in a random conversation with someone who who just

got back from that place, or you see a post on Facebook that leads you down a rabbit hole of

fascinating things to do at your destination. Once you arrive, if you go with an open mind of

creating magic, it will occur! Hotel clerks, concierge lounge attendants and other travelers will

share insights beyond what is on the travel brochure rack or ads you see online. The most

fascinating experiences I have created did not involve entrance fees or advance tickets, but

out of-the-way places that had much more satisfying experiences to offer than typical tourist

sites.

The easiest way to visualize a positive outcome and your Ultimate Trip is to spend a few

minutes imagining what you desire, seeing a vision that makes you smile, and then scripting

this as if has already happened. Visualizing is solely about the “what” and has nothing to do

about the “how”.

The following is a technique of creating “Vision Pages,” which I have taught to my private

clients and in seminars for many years. Though the concept is not totally unique,

there is a twist—and it is very effective. Here is the simple formula I created for Vision Pages

showing examples of travel and other thing you might want to put into motion.

Vision Page Formula

___________________ today’s date

___________________ future date my vision will have occurred

“I am so (FEELING WORD) to (MY CREATION). This (CREATION) is (at least three

SPECIFIC DETAILS you desire to come true). The (OUTCOME) was so easy and effortless.

Page of

1 6Thank you, (God or something you feel comfortable saying), for all of this and something

even better!”

EXAMPLES:

FEELING WORD – use the emotion (it is very important to use present tense) you feel

when thinking about this experience:

• grateful • excited • happy

• jubilant • blessed • ecstatic

MY CREATION – absolutely anything you desire:

• be finally be taking my dream trip to Tahiti

• be traveling first class to _______

• be on my way to have fun at the beach

• have closed the big business deal I have been dreaming of for years

• to be meeting successful, potential business partners

• to have sold my home for such a great profit

• to be making a change in my personal growth

• to realize how powerful my thoughts really are

CREATION – concept of what this creation is or means to you in your life:

• adventure

• achievement

• accomplishment • romance

• memorable experience • opportunity

• progress

At least three SPECIFIC DETAILS – Illustrate what this experience is to support your

Creation— better than you could have imagined: (using the words “easily and

effortlessly” are always a good thing!

• enjoying the luxury of sitting in First Class

Page of

2 6• having fun driving my new convertible

• going to take my business to the next level

• is changing my life so easily and effortlessly

• made twice the profit I expected

• met the perfect business partners

• easily and effortlessly got the training I needed to create great online marketing

OUTCOME – Details that came together to allow all of this to happen in a wonderful

way:

• Perfect Beach Vacation with: pristine beaches, perfect weather, swimming with

dolphins in the wild

• Ski Trip with: perfect weather, great snow, open slopes, and warm lounges with fun

people

• Bosnian Tour with: the perfect guide, being the only ones at the pyramids, unforeseen

magical experiences that occurred

• Successful Seminar attended with: unique concepts to take your business to the next

level, great new potential business partners, and great formation of an ongoing

mastermind group of successful entrepreneurs

GRATITUDE with EXPECTATION – God, (or Universe, Jesus, Creator, Source,

Pachamama, Buddha - whatever feels best for you)

Sit and feel what it would be like if your vision was true— imagine the experiences that would

occur to allow this to happen in the most wonderful way. See the outcome, and do all of this

with a smile on your face and a smile in your heart and BELIEVE it is possible! It may seem

woo-woo, but if you were already having Ultimate Travel Experiences, you probably wouldn’t

be reading this book. So if the way you have been doing things has not been working for you,

be willing to try something new.

3 6For travel, see yourself arriving at the airport with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the

experience. Walking up to the Priority Check-in, the agent smiling as she takes your

overweight luggage, ignores the extra pounds on the scale, tags it with a special red tag that

assures it is one of the first to come down the ramp at Baggage Claim, confirms your seat in

one of the front rows and hands you your ticket with TSA Pre-Check on it so you can glide

through security. You are quickly behind the security gate, sitting in the private airport lounge

enjoying a delicious meal and beverage. When your flight is

called, you arrive at the gate to pre-board and are met by the flight attendant as she helps

you with your carry-on, takes your coat and offers you a beverage and bowl of warm nuts

before the flight takes off. Your first class ultimate journey has begun!

• FEEL the emotion you are writing about

• KNOW it is TRUE

• ACCEPT that it may not happen exactly as you script - but will only be better!

• Record the date you write it and the date you KNOW it will be manifested by.

• Do it, then let it go! You can occasionally refer to your vision pages ... but do not

WORRY or dwell on any of it... accept it as your "order" out into the universe and

KNOW and TRUST it is SO!

It is wonderful if you can add some photos to this Vision Page. If it is for a trip, find some

photos in a magazine or online of your destination which make you smile and visualize

yourself there. If you are creating a car in your near future, go to the dealer and test drive

what you desire, have a photo of yourself taking in the driver’s seat, and add that to your

Vision Page. When you script your Vision Page for your new car, use the feelings you had

when driving it!

Only put ONE concept on each page, so the SCRIPT and PHOTOS for your Tahiti vacation

would be the only concept on that page. The new car would be on another Vision Page. You

can do this on your computer or manually. Using your own handwriting is a great way to

manifest, so if you do this and add a photo or two, take a picture of the Vision Page so you

also have it in your computer or phone. This can be a great screensaver!

When you are creating these Vision Pages, if you have doubt that it will happen, stop and

ask yourself what is it that you can’t believe? Imagine yourself walking through the steps in a

positive, fun way... all of it easy and effortless! If you are full of doubt, this process will be

blocked from happening and unfortunately it probably will not happen as you might prefer.

Following are a few of my own scripts to use as guidelines. I have profitably sold houses,

business ventures, and even gotten through a tax audit with laughter and a positive outcome.

SCRIPT for North Dallas Home Sale & Mediterranean SeaDream Trip 2007

Written on April 2, 2007 Written as if June 1, 2007

I am so excited to have sold my home for more than I was asking. The whole process was

fun and awesome! It sold so quickly that I was able to go on the SeaDream yacht in the

Mediterranean and the extra money I made on the house paid for this extravagant trip. I was

even upgraded to fly first class!

Selling most of my furniture, packing and moving was all so easy and effortless. I am even

packing my new size 10 wardrobe for my vacation.

Thank you God for all of this and something even better!

— As it turns out, I left for Nice, France on June 2, 2007. You read about the life- changing

trip that occurred in the Introduction of this book— all of this and even better!

SCRIPT for the Midi-Pyrenees in 2014

Written on November 13, 2014 Written as if November 26, 2014

“I am so excited to be living in the French Midi-Pyrenees. The cottage is FABULOUS! I have

everything I could have dreamed about - even a blender to make smoothies and creamed

soups! The cottage is perfect— warm, easy to keep up, fun, perfect for friends to visit! I am

even learning to drive a stick shift....it is so easy— like riding a bike!

The estate owners are wonderful. We are already great friends! My time here is productive,

fun and evolutionary for my business and myself! This has been such a perfect way to live in

style and save money. Everything happened so easily and effortlessly.

Thank you, God for all of this or something even better!”

I wrote this script when I was on my way south from the north of France as I was being

considered for a house-sitting position in the Midi-Pyrenees. The opportunity was for five

months, and I was only planning to stay a month, yet the home owners needed someone for

a much longer time period. I decided to go meet the owners of the estate and check it out to

see if I would enjoy five months alone in this remote location. I had told friends I was hoping

to rent a cottage in the Pyrenees Mountain area, yet I realized that it was much more

expensive and complicated than I had originally expected. I was paying almost double for my

rental car with automatic transmission, as I had rarely driven a stick shift and was afraid to do

so in a foreign country.

Well, on November 16th I arrived at the estate, met the owners, and within just a few days

knew I would love to spend an extended amount of time in my dream cottage on 100 acres of

private land. The beautiful three bedroom medieval barn conversion had a

fully stocked kitchen, complete with blender, juicer and everything I needed to feel at home. I

loved shopping at the local farmer’s markets and met many wonderful people who helped me

Page of

5 6create a fabulous experience. I quickly learned how to drive a stick shift and traded in the

rental car I had for one at half the price. The estate owners became dear friends, inviting me

to spend Christmas day with their family and gifting me with a week at their beach home

when I left the countryside cottage in April. For the five months I lived in this part of France, I

paid nothing for my living expenses other than my food and the rental car, and I had a

wonderful experience beyond my wildest imagination. I was even able to do my energy

healing work on many of the owner’s friends, helping them heal health conditions and

creating a source of income as I traveled.

I realize how blessed my life has been, and recognize my parents put seeds into my mind at

an early age regarding luxury travel and feeling worthy of beautiful exotic places. My

childhood was far from perfect, yet the trips my family took together were magnificent and

gave me the belief system that I was comfortable with luxury or Ultimate Travel. If you did not

have this experience growing up, using positive visualization is a great way to create it. Try it

out and see if things don’t turn towards the creation of a life of living your dreams.

Author - Adele Good learned the hard way how many travel dollars she had wasted before

she finally figured out how to upgrade her travelstyle to have all the first class benefits on an

economy budget. In 2017, she used American Airline miles to fly Business Class from Dallas

to Cape Town for a total of $35!

Adele raised her sons in Dallas,Texas and in 2014, sold or gave away most of her

possessions after receiving a message from above to leave the US to travel full time. Her

adventures included exploring natural healing modalities and ancient sacred sites all over

Europe, South America, South Africa and Asia. She was ‘stuck’ in Peru during the cv

experience and saw a very different perspective of what was really happening. Adele calls

this time the ‘Great Global Pause’ and has spent time exploring sacred sites across the

states and enjoying her first granddaughter. She is also sharing her coaching program called

The JOY Codes.

Adele is a Coach, Speaker, Energy Healer and Certified Passion Text Facilitator who enJOYs

travel, photography, adventure and living life full-out.
