Have New Year’s resolutions ever stressed you out?
If so, you are not alone!
So many of us worry we won’t be able to follow through with them or that we won’t set “the right ones.”
Here’s the deal. Typically, we set resolutions based on things we’d like to change in the future.
But why do we have to wait? Why can’t we start now?
Intentions are all about who we want to be in the present moment.
Think about it this way. What matters today may not necessarily matter in a year from now or even six months from now.
We live in a world that is constantly changing, and change can often impact our goals and values.
Now you might be thinking to yourself, “Okay, I’d love to start setting some intentions, but have no idea where to start.”
We’ve got you covered. Keep on reading to learn more.
Start First Thing In The Morning
Of course, there will always be little things that pop up last minute, but it’s always a good idea to go into every day with some sort of a plan.
Starting out each day with a plan can help you prioritize tasks and know when it’s a good idea to say no.
Check-in With Yourself Throughout The Day
Have you ever had one of those days that flew by in the blink of an eye?
Even though those days can be fun, they can throw us off course.
Every couple of hours throughout the day take a few minutes to think about how you’re feeling.
Are you feeling rushed, excited, happy, nervous?
Whatever you may be feeling in that present moment, notice it!
Share Your Intentions With a Friend
It’s interesting. Simply sharing our intentions with friends can help them feel more real.
It can also make us feel more accountable to get things done.
It never hurts to have someone on your side cheering you on!
