Set Your Intention Each Day
Each day upon awakening, ask yourself. “What is my intention for the day?” This is really just another way of asking
yourself “What do I want for myself and what am I willing to allow into my
life?” Examples of daily intentions are “Today I intend to write at least 500 words” or “ My intention today is to extend kindness to every
person that I encounter.” Most people give very little thought to their daily
desires. Chaotic, overscheduled lives often cause us to live in an unconscious
way. As a result, we wind up creating
lives that cause dissatisfaction and inner turmoil by default. Intention is a
powerful tool that will help you manifest your heart’s desire and accomplish your writing goals, one day at a time. You may find that once you begin setting an intention each day, you
feel the need to make drastic life changes related to your job, relationship
status or family life. Or perhaps the only things will change is the way you
view life and your new found sense of joy. Declaring a daily intention will help
you clarify your values and determine what will truly bring you happiness. In
addition, your awareness will shift and you will attract the people,
experiences and things that you want into your life.

Excellent advice. We do get caught up in the rush-rush pace of life and end up with chaos and becoming paralyzed with "all I have to do."
Great suggestion Aileen. I usually sent an intention for my yoga practice but setting one for a day makes great sense. Mine for today is to mantain a sense of calm through whatever happens (and lots will happen!).
Great suggestion Aileen.
Aileen, great advice. Stress is a killer and it's so important to reduce it. Setting your day's 'to do,' gives guidance and this little act helps reduce stress.
Shall do this, starting tomorrow.
