Intention is everything
I awoke this morning with such a clear sense around the question mark that begins each day for me. What of today? What will present itself? What will I prioritise? What is the energy of the day as I look at the sky?
I believe that we’ve been conditioned to seek answers outside. Especially as women… the tendency in our mental construct is around “how can I be of service? What’s expected of me today? What needs can I fulfil out there?”
Perhaps it’s specific to my own life experience, but my sense is that many of us carry this subconscious mechanism as a driving force. When the most powerful first question is “what are my intentions for this day?”
I see how this question in itself can be intimidating. Often we don’t know what we wish to achieve. Sometimes the concept of purpose can feel overwhelming. Fortunately the question is a lot softer than “what value are you bringing to existence today?”. We’ve been trained through culture, through school and industrial revolutionary tactics to equate our innate value to that which we bring to the table as a financial or tangible return to our community.
I believe that it’s time for us to come back to basics. What feeling do I wish to embody today? What do I wish to feel while I’m moving through the day and what do I wish to feel when the day comes to a close?
Is it calm? Is it a sense of satisfaction? Is it a sense of inner peace? Is it inner balance?
There is no right answer. What are you aiming for? What do you feel you can reach for today? If calm is the answer - inner tranquility - then that’s exactly what you intend.
If you’re feeling like you have the life-force within to create, make, build, construct and you wish to feel achievement, progress, satisfaction then go for it. Set that intention. Imagine the feeling and the smile on your face upon feeling g that feeling. The details of how you get there and why are unimportant. Reach for the feeling and that intention will guide your behaviour. You’ll leave closer towards the actions and thoughts that get you there than anything that steers you away.
Why was I so incredibly productive today? Why did I achieve so much more than I had in previous days? Ask yourself these questions as you lean into your sense of achievement and see what magic unfolds for you.
Set your intention and your subconscious will have a roadmap with which it will gently inform your choices and your inspired ideas. Ask for guidance from where ever you reach for guidance: Life, the Multiverse, Mother/Father God, Spirit, Gaya… what ever your resonance is, ask for support in bringing your intention to fruition and all will align.
