Setting Intentions

Here are at the end of May, just about six months into 2019. Did you choose New Year’s resolutions, set intentions, make goals, or maybe made a vision board this year? I bet you did. How are those goals going? Do you feel like you are accomplishing them? No, me either!! But we chose these dreams, goals and intentions for a reason! We set them to propel ourselves forward right?

Setting intentions helps us focus on those big and small ideas that motivate us. A lot of times they are the things that scare the hell out of us! It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day BS and let those visions go. I don’t want you to! I want you to go find that list, look at that vision/dream board and remember what you were feeling when you jotted it all down!

 

It’s super important to focus on what your heart, body and soul need in order to fulfil your purpose. Life is a mystery we need to unwrap, and we cannot unwrap it if we are not making forward progress right?! We set intentions to tell our mind the path we want to walk on, the place we envision ourselves! Let’s reclaim those goals!!

 

How do we set an intention?

Grab a notebook or at the very least a blank sheet of paper.

 

What are the pieces of your life that are most important?

What gives you the most joy and satisfaction?

What makes your soul sing?

What are you passionate about?

What gives you purpose?

What do you feel like you are missing?

What do you need more of in your life?

What is going correctly, and what isn’t?

Where can I make positive, uplifting changes?

What does it feel like to create, and execute this dream?

What does it smell like to fulfil my intention?

What does my life look like when I accomplish what it is I want?

Who is around me to cheer me on and support me?

Who can I ask for help when I am feeling stuck?

How can I get myself to my goal quicker?

 

After you answer those questions, jot some notes as to what your answers were. Sit and think about what it is your really want out of life or at least in the next 6-12 months. Now, I want you to think of one actions step that can get you closer to achieving this dream. Is it writing down all the goals? Is it telling a friend to help you remain accountable? Does it require some research or maybe a few phone calls? Do something to prove to yourself you have the commitment to make this happen!

 

At the beginning of each year, I pick “One Little Word” that helps me remember what it is I wanted to accomplish this year. For me, it is Flourish! Flourish is what I want to do in my personal relationships. Flourish is what I want to do in my writing, and in my oils and spiritual business. Pick a word that stands out to you. Something that pulls you, gives you chills, or otherwise moves you!! Try to put this word into action with the steps above! By doing these steps you have let the universe and your brain know what it is you want to accomplish, and they will help you and guide you in your dreams. But *** this is important *** you have to remain vigilant in going for this dream, and you cannot just sit back and totally wait for it to be given to you. Take ownership here.

 

That is not to say you should not trust the process, trust the universe to help guide you and to orchestrate just the right set of circumstance for you to shine. You need to be aware of the signs, signals, and opportunities when they present themselves to you!!

 

Alright, you have done a lot of work around your intention. Congratulations! I want you to write this all down into on finely crafted intention, using positive and uplifting words. I am achieving my dream of xxx. When I accomplish this task, I will feel xxx. Hang up this intention in your bathroom and bedroom, so you can read it several times a day until you feel like it has made a permanent mark in your brain and life. Setting intention, reading it multiple times a day helps to put a little pressure on us to achieve this intention. You can make this happen, you just need to trust the process, the universe and believe in yourself to do so. Grab a drop of Valor, Envision, or Believe to help you set this intention!
