Setting Intentions
Ah… 2009 A year of hope, a year of change. The days prior to the first day of our calendar year had me feeling excited and eager for all that was to come. Part of the reason I am so excited is that I have been working on my INTENTION setting. The energy, the structure, the actions needed to fulfill and maintain any desire I choose. I have read a lot of books, meditated, prayed and most importantly put into action several ideas and goals that I have had. All with positive outcomes. Whether that means I achieved the exact outcome I desired, or was given the opportunity of clarity to see why I didn’t achieve that particular outcome. What I have discovered is that the key to setting intentions is believing first and taking action on that BELIEF. Living your life as if your desire has already come to pass. There are those that believe once they are able to see, and those that believes in order to see. I am one of the later.
New Years resolutions. How many times have we declared our resolutions (a firm decision to do or not to do something) only to abandon them within the first couple of weeks. They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What I know is that intentions without action will not get results. So many times we read information about setting goals/intentions and think it is as easy as making daily affirmations and it will come to pass. That is only partly true. Affirmations are important to the extent that they convince the mind that something is truth. We are basically brainwashing ourselves for better. Just like we brainwash ourselves of negative. We are in essence changing our minds. The mind is a powerful tool that we have forgotten how to use.
In addition to affirmations or positive thinking or whatever you want to call it, ACTION is necessary. No one ever got rich or lost weight or (fill in the blank) by sitting around thinking about something. When a clear intention is set, believed and action steps are implemented, the rest can be let go. There is no struggle, no stress, no worry. Aligning ourselves with positive vibrations or thoughts and activities that make us feel good assure that our intentions will come true.
I have several intentions that I am looking forward to coming to pass in this upcoming year. I am excited because I am taking action that will see these intentions become reality.
CLEAR INTENTION + BELIEF + ACTION = DESIRED RESULTS
What is your intention(s) for this upcoming year?
What actions will be necessary for you to achieve this desire?
How does it feel knowing that you can have or be or do anything you truly desire? (This is a whole other topic… sometimes what we say we want isn’t really what we want, based on the results we are getting in our lives.)
See you in 2010! 2009 was a great year!
Peace, love & laughter
