What are you willing to do to change your life?

What do you do in your everyday life to create the life that you want to create? What are you willing to try to make a difference in the way you show up and live your life? What daily activites are you willing to create, what habit, what new way of living with you create that will change the direction, shift your energy, and transform your life. Setting your intention is a great place to start.  

Day 18: Winter, write down an intention for the day. Read it several times throughout the day. Journal about the experience.

What is the importance of intentions? What possible good can come from writing out what you want, it is only going to be more of the same.

When I was first introduced to intentions years ago the above thought would most likely have aligned with my state of thinking. I was however really ready for a change in my life and was willing to try something new. I realized that my life was filled with challenge after challenge and I knew that in order for that to change that something within me had to change as well. I had found the new thought community and I was hearing a great deal about changing your thinking changes your life. I realized that most of my life I had allowed whatever to come into my life and then dwell on the fact that my life was less than stellar.

I was employed by a fortune 500 company with one of the largest territories in the country and yet my personal life was self defeating, lonely, and focused on what "you" thought of me. It had been suggested to me that I read a book by Hick titled "The Amazing Power of Deliberant Intent". I began reading and found myself really pushing back at the beginning going this is really nonsense and what good could this possibly do. I am a person of my word so I persevered and finished the book. While in the process I begin to use some of the techniques that I found in the book. Before I would go into a meeting I would write out what my intention was. I would read it several times before going into the meeting. I was amazing that every time I took the time to do this that is exactly how the meeting would unfold. If I felt it going in another direction, I would open my book and read it again. If need be I would ask to step out of the room for a moment and focus my energy and come back with a renewed intention.

Over the next decade, I took this lesson to heart and allowed it to fill my life with what I wanted, and what I intended rather than what had been filling it before. I begin to realize that I had power in my life and that I could help in this co-creative process of life. I begin to ask my clients, friends, family what their intention was. I use this technique in my day to day life today. Setting an intention is the space with which I align with my highest self and the greater good of the whole. Today I know that setting intention have evolved for me and that I use it in all aspects of my life.

I love you,
