Vitamin I - Intention

Vitamin I- Intention

I remember the days feeling as if life was running me over and I had no control! I was overcome with what I thought were huge tasks and projects and I had no idea where to even begin.   I became convinced that the best I could do was survive and just get through.  That was before discovered the transforming strategy of Intention. Harnessing my thoughts.  

         

Intention means to do something with purpose.  When I began to start each day with Intention or purpose,  I found I was far more productive and efficient.  The quality of my days began to increase and the more I practiced Intention the more time I had to accomplish more.  

         

Intention can be used in every area of our lives.  It can be used to improve relationships, to focus on projects at home, to accomplish tasks with work and most importantly, to nourish ourselves.  Truthfully, it can promote increase in every area we apply it.  

         

Begin each day with some Intentions you would like to accomplish.  Note them in your workbook or your journal.  Sometimes I jot  these down the evening before.  

         

Let me share a trick with you.  When you look at your first Intention take a minute and break it down into small actionable steps.  

For example: My Intention is to clean out my refrigerator.

The first actionable step is to find a bucket and washcloth.

Then fill the bucket with soapy water

The next could be to clear off one shelf.

Remove the shelf  

Throw away any spoiled items. Wipe down the remaining items

Wipe the shelf

Return it to the refrigerator and return items.  

Go to the next shelf.

Each time I accomplish one step and acknowledge it,  I trigger the endorphins in my brain and the Relaxation Response in my body. It is a WIN! My mind believes I am capable and that starts the ball rolling.  The simple example above gave me seven opportunities to feel success and recognize my wins.  

This example took less that 5 minutes. 

Practice small actionable steps to set yourself up for successful days, weeks, months and years.   It all starts with Intention.

Intention is vital when it comes to self care and self nourishment.  Intention begins with the beginning.  

Today, I invite you to continue in the forward movement and write down some Intentions that you would like to accomplish today.  You can make a list of small actionable steps  or create the list in your imagination.  Whichever you choose,  cross each step off, give yourself a W-3 WIN,  and continue on to the next.  

It feels so good to let ourselves recognize each and every win.
