When does your adventure start?  Are you ready for vacation?  I have a secret- it's not about where you go. It starts, my friends, between your own two ears. Adventure is a mindset.  The Power of Perspective   Check Your Approach Pay attention to your expectations, your perspective, and your attitude. If you are tense and frustrated and not communicating well, it doesn't really matter where you are - it's going to be a stressful vacation.  Check out this guided meditation to help you get in the right mindset.Check Your Approach 2. Simplify Pull out the big dream.  Look at your family vision and think about your bucket list items as well as the feelings behind the trip you're imagining.  Look at the big vacations, and explore the tiny "staycations."   Get your mind right - your great experience is between your own two ears.   Determine what feeling you want to create to clarify why  Once you have this mindset in place, determine what you want to accomplish and work backwards from there.  Reduce it down to what one thing you can do today to make this happen.  Dumb it down to something you can do immediately to pick away at it. 2.
