I am inviting you to live intentionally.
To live with intention is a fabulous way to live with purpose, joy, and meaning. Sound divine or still confused? Let me explain more.
Have you noticed your life at times may have seemed you’re on autopilot? For example, do you have your head down, rushing around feeling like your head is chopped off? Are you running around with your to-do list, only to feel like your list keeps growing and growing? With our hectic lives and all the ups and downs, we can feel overwhelmed, depleted, and with no sense of the meaning of life. Although we spend most of our time in the “daily grind,” we forget what we want in life. I used to focus on getting through the week rather than thinking about my life’s purpose. I used to wake up every morning before work and think, “I have to go to work.” Or “I should go to the gym.” Oh, here is the mac-daddy oh them all quotes, “Is this all there is to life?” Does that sound like you too? If so, then you will love this! To live with intention is to know your why. It’s to live with purpose. What is yours and why? For example, when I wake up now, I say to myself, “I am so curious what I will learn today?” And “I get to go to the gym to take care of my sacred body.” Now the mac-daddy quote is, “I am the creator of my life.” It puts you in the driver’s seat. You will now be the director, no longer the actor of your life. Sound divine?
Here Are Three Simple Yet Mighty Steps To Live With Intention
1. The Choice Is Up To You
We choose how we want to feel at any given moment. A person with a high quality of life feels everything, but they decide not to stay in a suffering state. The choice is all ours. If something awful happens, allow yourself to feel what you need to feel, then ask yourself, “What can I learn from this experience?” Then choose a higher vibrational feeling. Remember, we are in the driver’s seat, and life is happening for us, not to us. 2. Get Clear On What You Want
Clarity is power! We can live our whole life and not ask these simple questions, “What do I want?” “Who do I want to be?” “What do I want to achieve?” When we are clear on why the universe works in mysterious ways to open new doors and allow our dreams to come true. 3. Daily Gratitude
Gratitude is magic! When you are grateful, you are rich. Our brains are wired to think negatively, but negative thoughts are few and far between once you start a daily gratitude list. Your life will become brighter and more magical cause you are training your brain to look for beauty vs. what is wrong. I love to think life is magical cause I am living the vision I created, not living in the circumstances made for me. I want that for you too. It’s all a mindset shift. It can be as simple as this: change your words, change your perception, which then changes your energy, and life becomes magical. But it’s up to you to find the magic. Live with intention, and you will have an extraordinary life. Until next time laugh, love, and be uniquely you!
