2020: Make it your year of intention

Having a day of intentions might look different for everyone. What’s been helpful for me is taking time for myself every morning, sometimes 5 minutes if that’s all I have. During that time, I check in with my breath and notice if it’s shallow or fast without trying to change it. I just meet myself where I’m at and realize that most of the time I’ve been on autopilot.  

Next, I think about what I want to bring into my day. Maybe it’s joy, focus, being present, rest, being of service, etc… it’s all a little different every day. 

Maybe your intention is walking to work instead of riding your bike, cutting your shower down to use just a little bit less water, smiling at one stranger a day, or choosing not to use single-use plastic. Whatever you choose, commit to it, check-in with yourself and maybe change it up after a while. Our small daily actions can make a big difference in this world. Imagine if all of us woke up and checked in with ourselves first thing in the morning. What kind of world would that be?
