Don’t just hope for the best – set intentions!

What do you have coming up this weekend, this upcoming week, or even this next month?  Whatever you’ve scheduled for yourself – social gatherings, a date, doctor’s appointments, a massage, a workshop, a vacation – all are opportunities to receive exactly what you need.

Most of us don’t take advantage of these opportunities.  We set up a massage, for example, because we are stressed and sore.  And then we simply go to the appointment and hope for the best.  What if, instead, we set a clear intention?  “I set my intention that this massage will create a sense of well-being and relaxation that will benefit me for the next two weeks.  I will feel rejuvenated and nurtured, so that I can serve others from the overflow of all that I have.”  Does it matter whether you have a particularly good massage?  No.  You have set an intention, which you are now affirming by taking action – going to your massage!   You will receive what you intended from your session.

Imagine the amazing benefits you can receive from all that you do for yourself!  If you go to a workshop on abundance mindset, for example, you could set the intention that “by the end of this workshop, I will have created a mindset that allows me to easily and joyfully create $xxx amount of income by the end of this year.”  This is a far more empowered stance than “Well, I’ll just go to this workshop and hopefully it will help.”

Even in your social life, you can set intentions to receive love and nurture from your friends, or perhaps receive inspiration or solutions for a particular issue you are currently dealing with.

You know what you need in your life – why not set intentions to receive it?  Try it out.  You will find that this practice greatly elevates your level of consciousness, because it forces you to examine why you are engaging in your chosen activites.  You will step further into the role of conscious Creator of your physical experience – all through this simple practice.

Blessings,
Andrea
