I could not let January go by without sharing how to create spiritual energy by setting intentions.
“Energy flows where attention goes” is one of my favorite quotes to describe setting intentions for the year. Now, notice that I did not say creating goals or resolutions! But instead, I suggest creating spiritual energy by setting intentions to move you forward in the New Year. Let me explain!
The New Year has begun, and you are excited about moving ahead with plans, habits, and resolutions. Setting goals and making resolutions is a time-held tradition for most people. Most of us have goals we wish to reach in 2024, whether physical, intellectual, or spiritual.
But why, if you are so excited about moving ahead with your dreams and plans, do most resolutions and goals fail by mid-February?
- They’re unspecific, worded too negatively, or not relevant enough
- They’re unrealistic, so many people don’t follow through
- They’re based on wishful thinking and willpower, not systems
Next thing you know, you start feeling overwhelmed and discouraged and abandon your aspirations!
The failure is not you — the problem is in the system behind the tradition itself.
Instead of making resolutions or goals, how about setting intentions?
Intentions are a mental state representing a commitment involving mental activities such as planning and forethought. Unlike goals or resolutions that happen in the future, intentions focus on the present, which raises your emotional energy to create a perfect life for you.
Over the years of studying personal development gurus, coaches, and spiritual leaders, I have developed a systematic approach to setting intentions that are successful.
Within each of us is the inner wisdom to develop realistic intentions. With the process, we can ….
- Access this inner wisdom to reveal the direction to go
- Define our real needs based on our strengths and desires
- Set some attainable written intentions and goals to follow throughout the year
- Create a concise, workable system
While working full-time in sales and marketing, I held workshops in January to guide my clients using this same method of setting intentions. Most who attended my workshop found more results from creating energy to meet their intentions for the year than with previous methods.
So, how do you develop realistic intentions for yourself? I have developed a hands-on workbook that will guide you through the process. (With just a few simple tweaks, this is the same guide that I used for my wholesale coaching clients.)
Although I created this particular workbook, I base it on proven results from gurus who have also developed their own successful systems.
