s it me or does it seem like time is speeding up? I don’t know about you, but I feel like the summer is just flying by and I’m scrambling to get everything accomplished. Does this sound like your life? The alarm clock goes off, you hit the snooze button several times leaving just enough time to grab a quick shower and breakfast – well, that’s optional. You rush to the office, work hard all day, rush to get the kids from one sport to the next and come home exhausted. Dinner is what- ever is quick and easy and you get ready to start the cycle all over again tomorrow. Are you wondering how long you can keep it up? Do you have a dream for your life to be different but can’t imagine how it’s possible? It is possible and it starts with setting an intention every day even for the simple things you need to accomplish in your
life. When you set an intention you make it clear to yourself and others exactly what you plan to do. With intention, the Universe will bring what you want into alignment with your life. I can recall times when I had a specific intention and times when I didn’t have any intentions or I wasn’t clear on my intentions (like now!) and my life was visibly different during each. I remember having a clear intention for finishing my dissertation and the steps I needed to take each day to get there. My life flowed so easily and even though there were a few bumps along the way, every day moved me closer until I accomplished my goal. On the other hand, during the times in my life when I wasn’t setting intentions, it seemed I just drifted from one thing to the next and had a really hard time ac- complishing much of anything. Try starting each day by setting an intention for the day. You can even set intentions for different aspects of your life –
one for your work, one for your relationship with your family, one for your body. You may want to set an intention to go to bed thirty minutes earlier so that you can wake up a little earlier to meditate or just enjoy some quiet time. How about setting an intention to be mindful before each meal to make healthier choices and only eat when you are hungry? It may help to place a sign somewhere in your home that reminds you to set an intention each day. It can also be helpful to choose the times of day that will prompt you to set your intention. Setting an intention is the first step in moving you closer to having a more fulfilled life, maybe even your dream life. Try it for 30 days
and see what amazing things can happen. If nothing else, you will at least break the cycle of feeling stressed out and running from one thing to the next. By setting your intention each day, you will have more control over what you choose to do on a daily basis even in a jam packed day. And at the end of the day you can relax knowing that tomorrow you will set a new intention to have another amazing day.
In health and happiness,
