Holiday Intentions

Intentions are starting with the end in mind. They are outcome focused.
An intention is a consciously chosen goal or purpose that directs your thoughts, actions, and energy toward a specific outcome. It is a focused and mindful statement of what you aim to achieve or embody, guiding your behavior and decisions to align with the desired result. Setting intentions can be a powerful tool for personal growth, mindfulness, and creating positive changes in every aspect of your life.

There are a lot of ways to state intentions. We state them as
Present Tense- We are talking about something that we would like to happen in the future and saying it as if it has already happened.
Positive – Focus on what we would like to happen. Not on what we don’t want to happen.
Gratitude – We are grateful for receiving before we receive it. Think of Ran Swanson “Please and Thank you.”

Poor Example:
My intention is to not be broke.
Future based, negative focus, zero emotion

Good Example:
I am grateful for financial abundance.

A better intention would be even more specific.
I am grateful for $5k I have received.

One more thing about intentions. We focus on the “What” we desire. Not the “How”. You can only pick one. And if you pick ‘How’ the “What” is never quite right.

Here are some Intentions to help you with the Holdiays:
