As I often say, what we want – wants us too! What is it you’d like to invite into your life? Be specific. When you’re setting your intentions, get clear on exactly what it is you want. Change is possible – we just can’t be attached to it. Integrate new habits one at a time and be patient with yourself. Ask yourself, “How can I be kind and gentle with myself as I show up for myself today?” Once that intention is in place, go at it little by little. It’s inevitable that we’ll have days when we fall off the wagon and when we do, it’s important to practice kindness and gentleness towards yourself. Intentions can only be achieved if you work at them little by little, every day, over time, and with continued effort. When practice is done for a long time and with sincere devotion, then the practice becomes a firmly rooted, stable and solid foundation. Change can only happen if it’s attempted with regular practice in combination with non-attachment to the results. Have we set our goals for ourselves because we really and truly want them? Or because everybody else is doing it? We have to get really clear on that and set intentions that align with our most authentic desires. I know that by aligning my actions with this intention, I will be more diligent in attracting headstand into my practice.Īnother aspect where we tend to go wrong is in the area of clarity. Intention Example: My intentio n is to cultivate my headstand by trying it each time I practice. Resolution Example: I am resolved to do a headstand in the next two months. A resolution often has a specific result and is time-oriented. An intention grows with attention, patience, and wise effort. An intention is very different from a resolution in that an intention is something we cultivate over time. I encourage you to set intentions, versus resolutions.
