Setting Clear Intentions

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with all of the things you have to focus on in life?

Moving from your business or work to spending time with family and friends but still thinking about work?

It can feel like balancing on a ball while juggling sometimes.

As High-Performers, we do a lot.

And we want to excel in what we do, which can lead to overwhelm at times.

So what do we do?

Remember that High Performers are highly intentional with their actions.

They set a clear intention before they do something.

Here's a practice for you:

When making a transition...

(i.e. going from work to family, family to work, gym to friends, etc.)

PAUSE.

Take a deep breath in through the nose,

Out through the mouth.

Set your intention by saying...

"I'm about to go do (x). Who do I want to be while I do this?"

PRO TIP: Always come from your best self.

Ask yourself...

"What would the best version of myself do right now?"

"How would they show up?"

John Burrough said,

"The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention."

Meaning...

Take action on your intentions.

BE that person.

When you set an intention, you are setting a commitment to act in a certain way.

It takes planning and clarity.

And when you set your intention...

Fall in love with that intention.

When we fall in love with an intention it means that we energize it; we pay attention to it.

This creates a magnetic pull in the Universe, which draws back life unto it, according to the amount of energy in your intention.

Where energy goes, energy flows.

By making these micro-intentions throughout your day, you will find yourself being more present, alert, focused, and determined to show up at your best more consistently.
