How many people end up making the same old New Year resolutions every year hoping that this time they will be turn out differently?<\/p>\n
Research shows that four out of five people give up and abandon ship by February. Too many unrealistic goals set you up for discouragement and failure before you\u2019re even out of the gate.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a closer look at behind the scenes. Resolutions that don\u2019t work are basically goals without intentions that end up being meaningless and unfulfilling.<\/p>\n
How would you feel about going on a plane with no pilot? The same thing happens when you don\u2019t set your intentions. You miss out on the driving force and principle that can guide your actions and help you achieve your goals. Incorporating the power of intentions puts you in the driver seat of your life. By joining both forces together, you can harness the power of being more mindful as you welcome the opportunity to start fresh each day with a clean slate. Intentions keep you grounded in the present moment and remind you to keep your focus on your dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The key to setting conscious intentions is knowing that in every moment you have a choice about where you want to put your energy and your focus. What you focus on now is what will grow. Expect miracles as you activate the law of manifestation and attract that which you desire in life. Always remember that \u201cenergy flows where intention goes\u201d.<\/p>\n In the yogic philosophy, the word Sankalpa is a Sanskrit word for \u201csan\u201dmeaning a connection with the highest truth and \u201ckalpa\u201d for a solemn vow thus making a commitment with ourselves to support our highest truth, affirming a resolve for our heart\u2019s true desire.<\/p>\n As you become clearer about how you want to live your life, the path also becomes clearer. Point your goals in your heart\u2019s direction and you\u2019ll get there faster. Tap into a life filled with gratitude, hope, determination, grace, peace, joy and presence.<\/p>\n Intentions are inward driven and focus on the present moment.\u00a0<\/span> Intentions are based on our feelings and heart\u2019s desire (state of being). Intentions are about the direction we are heading & enjoying the journey. Intentions create long term growth and transformations. Intentions is about who you are and why you want to do it. Intentions help you keep your aim and motivation as you learn how to turn obstacles into stepping stones.
