January 19 “Today I will remember my worth is inherent.” I’ve listened to this session several times already this morning, not just to take notes so that I can write this post, but because it’s something that I needed to hear. This message is so incredibly important and I think it’s something every single oneContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 19”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 18
January 18 “Today I will trust myself instead of doubting every move.” I decided to change the intention of the day a bit. Rather than “Today I will back myself instead of doubting every move” I simply changed ‘back’ to ‘trust’. It felt better to me. In any case, today’s session centered around confidence. MattContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 18”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 17
January 17 “Today I will reach out instead of waiting to be reached.” Another short session with a sweet message: be the one to reach out first and make a connection. Faith Hunter reminds us that we naturally crave connection and, more importantly, that we don’t have to live life alone. Sometimes it’s easy toContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 17”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 16
January 16 “Today I will do the small brave thing that’s been waiting.” Though I’ve never seen any of his work, my favorite quote is by John Wayne: “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” That’s today’s focus. Courage. Not grand acts of heroism but smaller, more subtle gestures that have givenContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 16”

January 15 “Today I will stop fighting what is and soften into it.” Wow! I love the lesson today!! What a wonderful perspective to have!

Daily Intention Setting: Day 12
January 12 “Today I will rest in the fact that I’ve done enough.” Please pardon the tardiness of today’s post. It’s been quite a busy day and I’ve had enough. In fact, I almost skipped writing this because I’m really tired and, quite honestly, I’d rather just go to bed. But this is important toContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 12”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 11
January 11 “Today I will meet myself and others with compassion.” Short, sweet, and simple. Be compassionate – to everyone. Kristin Neff reminds us that it’s easy to be kind when everything in your world is rosy. It’s when things are a mess that we have to remind ourselves to have patience and compassion towardContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 11”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 10
January 10 “Today I will trust my calm more than my fear.” I’m going to admit that this intention didn’t quite sit well with me so I modified it a bit. Today I will trust my calm. It feels better. Jack Kornfield’s voice and speech cadence remind me of Mr. Rogers. That kind, calm grandfatherContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 10”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 7
January 7 “Today I will look for something that makes my heart smile.” Yesterday we expressed gratitude for something in our lives. Today we look for the joy in the world. As Darius Bashar tells us, “It’s everywhere!” Joy happens to be his favorite topic. He refers to joy as a paradox, a “cosmic riddleContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 7”
Daily Intention Setting: Day 2
January 2. Day 2: It’s getting late in the day. I got home not that long ago. I ate dinner and now I’m in my pajamas. I’m tired. But there’s something a tiny bit different today. I’ve set down a stone or two – and I feel lighter. I’m not carrying the weight like IContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 2”
