Intentions are the new resolutions
Resolutions are so 2008!
Well no, not really, but I feel like people see resolutions as a chance to convince themselves that things will be different, but that’s counterproductive. The simple truth is that nothing is wrong. There is nothing broken in your life, there are no problems, everything is perfect, it’s all a matter of perspective and mindset.
Everything is really two subjects: The thing, and the lack of the thing. So if you set the intention of loosing weight, you are attemping the impossible since what you are really saying is that you want to be healthier or to look better, but you are focusing on the lack. “I don’t like the way I look, so I want to look this other way that might make me feel better”. Why not state this another way, “I want to be healthier in body, mind and spirit then I was the year before, each day I want to feel and be healthier than the day before and loosing weight will be a very welcomed side effect.”
The easiest way to achieve your goals and meet your resolutions is to focus on what you want, not what you do not want. It’s a simple shift, but it makes all the difference. Make the intention to see what you want to see, make the intention to do what you want to do. Approach everything from a place of wanting not of lacking and you will find that you effortlessly attain and reach all of your goals.
Life is supposed to easy, so why do we try and make it so hard?
