Daily Intention Setting: Day 30
January 30 “Today I will stand in who I am, without shrinking.” Today Jacks talks about how we all sometimes compare ourselves to others, we hold back in order to keep the peace or make things easier on other people, or we overanalyze things.

Daily Intention Setting: Day 29
January 29 “Today I will believe that good things can still happen.” I really like Sah D’Simone’s description of hope: “. . . a hope that is spacious, creative, and deeply alive.

Daily Intention Setting: Day 25
January 25 “Today I will notice when my thoughts run ahead of reality.” The topic of the day is regulation – and I freely admit that I was really excited about it.

Daily Intention Setting: Day 24
January 24 “Today I will pause before I act and let calm lead the way.” I love exercises with breathing! I have something to focus on during the meditation!
