I find I have more than one intention at a time. My main one is to have and experience better health - yet the action steps needed I find challenging because of the pain which creates lower energy and overwhelm in my body. I am practicing self care but sometimes I'm not sure if what I am doing for self care is helping. I feel something is missing and can't put my finger on it. I feel I give up because it feels to difficult. This causes me to focus on what I don't have and maybe never will have - good health. I would love any suggestions you may have for me.

Even if we are conscious of the *shoulds* we still end up making those kind of intentions. Feels great to let them go! Blessings, Keena This makes life just so much simpler, doesn’t it?!

That makes me feel a lot more at peace about some of the crazy intentions I've written down. Usually it is the influence of others that leads to the nonsensical mess of intentions we try to manifest. I will surely try asking "WHY" prior to intending and discarding =) THX Andrea for reiterating that it’s ok to make half-assed intentions and then throw ‘em away!!

So I sat down and tried to convince myself WHY I should stir up the energy of desire in order to help manifest the intention (sounds rediculous, doesn't it?). I ended up laughing in the end as I realized I just couldn't convince/talk myself into buying into it as good as the idea was. So I tossed it out. You're right about it needing to be a genuine desire as we just can't fool ourselves if it's not genuinely wanted.

A few of my half-hearted intentions have been hanging around so long that they no longer pack that oomph I'm looking for. You're right; it's time to clean us and bring the vigor of a deep why into my desires. Thanks for the poke! Excellent invitation.

Hmmmmm...now, I wonder, what do I REALLY want to do with my time now that I am not half-heartedly filling time?

Just today I decided to let go of my weight loss goal and to just eat what I intuitively feel like eating. I've always felt that I should lose weight, but when I'm being honest, I don't have a truly powerful why for it, and no burning desire either. It was just distracting me from working on those things that I REALLY want. Thanks! :) What a fun synchronicity!
