“Setting your intention is like drawing an arrow from the quiver of your heart.” Bruce Block
The first time I ever really remember hearing about setting intentions was in a yoga practice. Actually, it was a gong session. From there I paid more attention to find that each of my yoga instructors in some way, shape or form were asking me at some point to set an intention for my practice. More prominently you can think of this as setting goals – which resonates with just about anyone. We spend our entire lives setting intentions or goals. Small goals, big goals, lifetime goals. Day in and day out we constantly transform our fears and doubts into hopes and possibilities. At some point we always derive a purpose or plan to have in mind and to direct our whole world to.
But I’m here to tell you it doesn’t just have to be some huge life changing intention. You should be setting an intention every day. From what you’ve got to get done for the day to simply waking with love and kindness.
Today I challenge you to set an intention that will help you go from just living the day in and day out to fully participating in your life. It can be something as easy as “Today, I will greet every person I see with love and kindness.” or “Today, I will believe in myself.” to something a bit more intricate and time consuming like; “Today, I will dive in and finally begin cleaning out and organizing my closet.”
