Intend It and It Shall Be

Intention is everything is what I tell myself repeatedly on some days when I tend to forget more than once.  We are the busy society and we seem to be so proud of it that when we are asked how we are doing we often say: "I've been very busy".  I rarely take that response seriously and what I have observed is that people who keep themselves busy do this to avoid their feelings.  Instead of living with intention they are ruled by schedules starting with their 9-5 jobs.  Living with intention is living with purpose and it is about feeling the feelings and letting go of the fear that keeps us in avoidance.

What is intention you might ask?: 
Intention is when we decide that we are going to live a joyful, loving, self-compassionate life.  Intention means that we set the mood we will live in day by day.  Intention is empowering and it is when we send the message to our brain that we chose to be in a place of love.

So what is the first step?: 
The first step to living a life of intention is to set your intention each day by sitting in silence for about 10 minutes and allowing your intuition to work with you to co-create the intention or intentions for the day.  Think of it as a guide for your day.
Here are two examples: My intention is to communicate with everyone around me in a compassionate manner.  My intention is to see the good in myself and others.
When you set an intention you are living with purpose and you are setting yourself up for success, prosperity and joy.

What do I do when the outer noises and negativity shows up?: 
The very first thing to do when you allow a situation or person to trigger you is to start to stop, become quite and have a mantra like: "I chose to feel good", "I know that this is not my story", or "I am whole and nothing can impede my own peace of mind".  How you talk to yourself is crucial if you want to remain in a state of positive intention.  A mantra and a little nudging by you to you will get you back on track.

So the next time you get up in the morning set that intention right away.  Take the time to sit comfortably in a soft chair and decide what your intention is for the day.  If someone or something triggers you have a self-message or mantra to bring you back to your original state of intention.  Stopping for a few seconds and taking some deep breaths will also help immensely.  Remember that by setting your intention you are living a purpose driven life, not just wandering about aimlessly or keeping yourself busy so that you don't think.  The more you live intentionally the happier you will be.

Activity: 
Write five intentions that you feel would be aligned with what you want more of in your life.  Live like those intentions are the most important thing each day.  Make your actions align with your loving intentions.  See how that feels for a couple of weeks.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
