We know that over 80% of New Year’s resolutions are broken within the first three days! This year, instead of resolutions, let’s set INTENTIONS! More than 40% of our daily actions are not derived from conscious decisions, but instead from our habits, whether good or bad. Our habits dictate how we live, how we perform, and what we can achieve in our lives. Swapping our undesirable habits with more desirable habits is a proven way to improve your overall wellbeing. Maybe you desire to have a better morning routine, maybe you want to move your body more, maybe you want to sleep better or be more organized, or maybe you want to shift how you show up in all of the relationships of your life. This month, we are talking about the power of setting intentions.
When we started Body In Balance, we were taught to make SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-based) goals. I would wake up early every morning and go over my goals at nausea to make sure they were in the forefront of my consciousness. Whether the goals were met or not, I always sensed a forcefulness about this approach. Instead of feeling like things could flow with ease or unfold in positive and gratifying ways, it felt like I was using large amounts of energy and willpower to force my mind’s agenda into fruition.
So much has changed over the last 15 years. The science behind creating the life you want has blossomed. How do you set intentions that actually move you towards your life purpose? How do you set intentions that take you towards the next step of the evolution of your life? Instead of using your logical mind to create a set of goals, we can feel into what we want our life to be. I have written out a process that you too can use to create shifts towards the life you desire. Maybe January is the right time for you to start this process:
Consider repeating this process daily for 30-90 days until you can recall the feelings/emotions that are generated by this process. With this process, we are saying, here is who you are now, and here is who you want to become. Let’s start putting intentional energy into who you want to become.
There is a gap between who you are and who you want to be. We didn’t ask, “what do you need to do to fill that gap?” Instead, we asked, “who do you need to become to fill that gap?” What is the energy you need to cultivate? I truly believe that is the most important intention you could set for your day. When I use this process regularly, I am amazed by the ideas, inspiration, creativity, peace and gratitude that fill my days.
Pro Tip: Use this process as you get on the chiropractic table for your NSA adjustment. By working with the nervous system and keeping the energy of who you want to become present in your consciousness, we can facilitate moving you towards this future version of yourself.
