Setting My Intention

Revisiting my post from last week, I think I have stumbled upon my intention for 2018.

Live openly. Live consciously. Live simply.

I know it is much longer than one word, but for me, I think it needs to be. I am looking to deepen a mind, body and spiritual connection within myself and with those around me.

And so here is what these three things mean to me.

Live openly.

Be grateful

Silence my inner critic

Release thoughts/actions that don’t serve me or anyone else

Act with kindness toward others and myself

Try new ideas, foods, experiences

Let go of fear

Lead with my heart

Say I love you

Live consciously.

Move when my body needs to move

See beyond my tunnel vision to take in the FULL picture

Stop when I am full

Rest if I am tired

Breathe before yelling

Live simply.

Spend time with people I love

Donate clothes/items I don’t absolutely love

Try a capsule wardrobe

Turn off my phone/computer

Declutter surfaces

Surround myself with items that lift me up

Give minimalism a go
