One of the key elements of making any meaningful changes or shifts that you want to create happens is to set intentions. These are basically meditating on what you would like to create in life, and becoming mindful of your feelings about everything. Not just about your current circumstances, or about what you would like to create, but also about what you want to let go of, and what you want to bring into your life.
By doing so, you start on a path where you see a clearer path towards being at peace, feeling happier, having more opportunities to give to and do for others. It’s not going to happen overnight, but it’s a terrific way to get a head in the right place so that you’re more likely to make an effort for change that’s going to make a difference in your life today, in the future, and in the years to come.
To create these empowering intentions, you need to step away from the daily frantic effort it takes to do your daily routines, and take time to really connect with yourself in a sincere way. You do this by choosing the time that feels right for you, rather than “being in a hurry” or in a mode of “just making it through the day.” Set an intention that will give you eating and sleep and bodily needs, and if it’s truly important, make sure you Scheduled an appointment with your doctor.
It could be that you want to shift a negative lifestyle pattern, like smoking or overeating, or you might want to engage in grander changes like how you can treat yourself or how you feel towards yourself, or how your creativity is channeled into a life purpose. Whatever it is, your doctor should be able to recommend actions to help you begin a new journey towards creating and living your dreams and desires. The options will be unique for each of us, and should be designed around your own circumstances.
Another way to create empowering intentions for 2013 is to connect with your passions and sense of purpose. By making sure our passions and passions are in line with our activities and goals, we will find an alignment that will support the changes we would like to make. This will also hold us accountable as we strive to move forward in 2013. Everyone has individuals in their life that absolutely get your goat, so it’s key to work out a deeper connection with the person or people in your life that use and inspire you.
This person can be someone in business, family, or your personal life, “beating on” your shoulder from time to time to remind you just to log on to your passions and dreams and live the life you’ve always wanted. These individuals are people who will be easily available for a bit of compassion and growth. In the end, these are the people who have been there for you, been your cheerleader, and are someone you should always love regardless of the huge pain and hesitation to actually express themselves. Practice anticipating this person, and embracing their spirit, so you will feel a part of them. If they are truly a part of who you are, then you will begin to feel a strong sense of their belonging, and as time gains on, you will find it easier to connect with and move with the other components of this individual all-in-one.
Once we start practicing these five easy steps to creating empowering intentions, it becomes easy to identify and connect with our passions and desires. And once you do, you are free to reach for the stars, and reach out for your dreams – knowing that your life – your plans – your future – is getting easier and easier every day. And as you continue advancing through 2013 you will gain strength and a sense of pride, and a clear sense of knowing how creative you are, and how inspired you are.
Try it, and see what a difference such intention setting can have on your life, your day, and the direction you go in moving forward with courage and knowledge, with a clear sense of vision for what’s possible for you in the future. It’s worth it!
