Daily Intention Setting: Wrap-up

February 1 We did it! We achieved 31 straight days of setting a daily intention for ourselves. I think that deserves a little pat on the back!!! Some sessions resonated more deeply with me than others, which is to be expected, but there were a few that I would love to listen to again andContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Wrap-up”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 31

January 31 “Today I will remember that steady steps build lasting change.” DAY 31!!! WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m excited about the fact that we’ve shown up every day for a month committed to our goal to work on personal growth. Jason McGrice says that when we have a goal, we’re consistent, and we have an intention,Continue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 31”

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. We’re human. It happens. What she wants us to do today,Continue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 30”

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. Hope is not about toxic positivity. It’s not pretending that everything’s ok. It’s the quiet courage to stay open – to trust thatContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 29”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 28

January 28 “Today I will stay open instead of assuming I know.” Interesting lesson today . . . David Gandelman defines humility not as minimizing yourself or acting as if you don’t know but “being open, curious, and not jumping to conclusions”. He warns us that, during today’s meditation, we might want to bring somethingContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 28”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 27

January 27 “Today I will listen to understand, not to answer.” I thought this lesson was pretty important, especially in this day and age when it seems that everyone is clamoring to make their mark or get noticed, etc. Everyone seems so ready and willing to talk, or talk over someone else – but whenContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 27”

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. Our lesson focuses on noticing when our brains begin to wander and then gently bringing them back to the present moment. Back toContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 25”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 22

January 22 “Today I will step back and let love lead the way.” I can tell by the sound of Marianne Williamson’s voice that she’s passionate about the topic of love and trusting in its power. She talks about how we tend to try to plan, script, and control life or we think about howContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 22”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 21

January 21 “Today I will do something kind with no expectation back.” Liza Colpa says that kindness is a simple concept – but it isn’t always easy. Life gets chaotic, the world seems harsh, and even our inner voices can be a little caustic. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and become impatient sometimes. So it’sContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 21”

Daily Intention Setting: Day 20

January 20 “Today I will listen to my inner yes and no.” I don’t know about you but setting boundaries has never been my forté. Like, ever. At least not in my personal life. Maybe with my children. Some. With my students, yes. But with administrators and colleagues, not so much. Any boundaries I’ve setContinue reading “Daily Intention Setting: Day 20”
