Intention: A Guiding Light

Do you ever sense that you are running around aimless in the dark? Like you are rushing blindfolded with your hands outstretched, hoping that you don't clash into anything that will break or at a minimum leave a blemish? Life can certainly get stressful at times. Amidst our numerous tasks and commitments, we can lose sight of ourselves. Feeling scattered, we go on auto pilot and before we know it weeks, months or years have gone by along with our sense of purpose and passion.
Most of us are comfortable with setting goals and priorities to complete a to-do list. And while I support this habit, I present you with a similar challenge that will bring clarity to your life. How would your life change if every day you allied with your values and increased your attention to your thoughts and feelings? Your challenge this month is to foster living with intention.
There are many intentions that you can define each day. The kind of intention I am encouraging you to ponder is defined by your inner value system. Taking time to consider your values will give them presence in your life. They will assist you through decision making, feeling your feelings and connecting with others.
Today, jump out of the fog and set a value driven intention. Not only will you feel an improved sense of self, you will also become more present. Knowing who we are in every experience of our days is critical to feel empowered.
Reality Check
You aspire intentionally when you:
* Become clear about your values and pledge to practice them each day.
* Allow your values versus other's opinions to effect your decisions.
* Take a moment each day to ascertain HOW you can bring your values to you day.
* Check in with your intention before responding to your feelings or other's requests.
* Reflect on your day's intention and ascertain how it guided you.
Fearless Integration
1. Take a moment and reflect upon your values. Examples of values include patience, rejuvenation, risk, listening, commitment or allowing.
2. Declare an intention to practice one of your values. For example, "Today, I will practice joy."
3. Identify ways you can meet your intention. For example, take a break, acknowledge myself, respond no to other's requests, celebrate myself, do one task at a time."
4. Remind yourself of your intention throughout your day and before reacting to an emotion or making a decision.
