Balancing Intention

“Now that you’ve reached your goal, what are you going to do?” “I’m going to enjoy it for one week, and then decide on another goal.” Ω Goal setting, or “planting beacons” is not so much about the accomplishment, but rather, about giving direction when it is needed. Sometimes, it’s okay to be “directionless.”   However, […]

Plenty of Time

“Are you happy with how this year ended up?” “I don’t really know.  I haven’t given it much thought.” “If you don’t know, how are you going to make sure next year ends up well?” Ω The years have a tendency to quickly tick by, as we grow older in this physical lifetime.  Our years […]

Intend to be Intentional

“What’s the date today.” “The same date it was an hour ago when you last asked.” “I know, I just can’t remember.” Ω Do you ever find yourself asking the same question over and over again?   Maybe you look at your phone to see what time it is and then a minute or two later […]

Stress Storms

“Why are you so stressed?” “I don’t know.  I guess I feel like I have more to do than time to do it.” “What happens if you let go of the need to have to get everything done?” “If I don’t get everything done,  I’ll be in big trouble.  These things have to be done.” […]

Intentional Eating

“Would  you like some more mashed potatoes?” “No thank you.  I’ve had plenty.” Ω When we bring intention into our lives, it eventually spills over into all aspects of our life.  For example, we learn to bring intention to the current “moment,”  whether that moment is a minute, an hour, a day, week, year, decade […]

Now is Everything

“When are you going to start?” “Well, you know what they say.  There is no time like the present.” “How will you know what you need to do?” “I will do an overall high level plan, and then start with the next step.” Ω Now is all that you have.  When we live in the […]

How to Get Things Done

“I just can’t seem to get anything done.” “I had that problem, too.  Then one day I had this idea.  Now, I set my intention of what it is I would like to accomplish. ” “Does it work?” “For me it does.  The key is to remember to set your intention every day or week.” […]
