Setting your intention and moving forward



We are all looking to move forward in life.  I recently listened in on a conference call about getting unstuck, and read through a book that many of you know called, The Vision Board Book.  Both of these medias state we can achieve whatever we envision.  Staying focused is key.  How do we stay focused in times that are challenging to so many of us.  Here is what I know. 

You set an intention with attention.  You pay attention to that thought or idea with intense focus using methods like meditation, journal writing, vision boards, affirmations,or surrounding yourself with like minded people.  You look for opportunities and when they arise, take action.  Make a decision with confident and determination.  Move forward with clarity, confidence, connections and continued support. 

Meditations can vary from sitting with your breath, to moving meditations like yoga or walking in nature to visualizations. 

Journal writing can be dream writing, diary-like, morning pages, gratitude writing, and the list goes on and on.

Vision boards are all about, yes..., getting pictures from magazines, self drawings or clip art to represent you thoughts, idea, goals and dreams.

Affirmations are positive words that you repeat to yourself,  believing that it is true.  Affirmations change your thoughts, your behavior and perspective on life.

and finally  surrounding yourself with positive energy leads to a better place.

So set that intention with complete and focused attention!
