The Power of Intention Setting - Dreams to Action

MK and I enjoy setting intentions because they are fun to create and energetically bond. An intention is a powerful and positive thought we focus on during our trip that encourages our personal growth and our connection. Intentions can change if a higher power has a different idea for us, so flexibility is important.

So, how do I set an intention?

You are free to choose what to focus on consciously. Here are a few loose guidelines to follow:

Reflection: What do you genuinely want or need? This could be a feeling, a change in behavior, or a way of interacting with the world.

Clarity: An intention should be clear and concise. It's not a detailed action plan but rather a simple statement.

Positivity: Intentions are phrased positively, focusing on what you want to bring into your life rather than what you want to avoid.

Present Tense: Express your intention in the present tense as if it were already here. This helps create a mindset that aligns with the desired outcome.

Commitment: It's not just a one-time thought but something to revisit and reflect on regularly.

Integration: Integrating your intention into your day by meditating on it, using it as a mantra, or simply reminding yourself of the intention.

Flexibility: While intentions provide direction, they also require flexibility. It is important to be open to how the journey unfolds.

Setting intentions is different from setting goals. Goals are specific, measurable, and often focused on external achievements, while intentions are more about an internal state and how you want to be in the world.

Here are some Intention Examples to get you started. The joy comes from creating a specific intention that resonates with your journey:
