Not a Fan of Resolutions? Try This!

✨ What if instead of a resolution, this year you set an intention? ✨

Because even though there is value in setting specific goals and resolutions, there is also value in zooming out to bring clarity on what matters to you most. 

That’s the power of intentions. 

🌸 Setting an intention is more about connecting with your sense of purpose. Intentions direct your mind to make choices that align with your values.

For example, you might set an intention to focus on authentic connection. Or an intention to focus on self-compassion. Then when presented with an opportunity, you can ask yourself whether it aligns with those intentions. 

Here are some questions to help you set your intentions:

🔹 What about your life brings you the most joy?

🔹 What do you want to cultivate more of in your life?

🔹 What words or phrases capture the essence of your answers above?

Once you set an intention, you can meditate on those words or set reminders in places you see every day (like a sticky note on your bedside stand). 

Then let it go and return to those words whenever you face new opportunities, challenges, or decisions. 

What do you think?
