Set Your Daily Intention to Win the Day
The Path Towards Success: Setting Your Intention
On your journey with I.Liv, you will get to set your intentions for each day. These intentions will guide you toward the things you want and steer you away from the distractions of daily life. Setting an intention each day will become an essential practice in your routine. After all, we cannot transform our life overnight – that will be a natural outcome of our daily practices. Day by day you will build a fulfilling and balanced life, by your design.
The Bottom Line – Defining our Daily Intention puts our future in our own hands!
Setting intentions is about defining our direction – daily, and then day-by-day we shape our life overall. It is like charting a course that we want to take to our destination of choice, pitstops and wrong turns included.
Intentions are also about:
- Addressing the demands of today, while dedicating energy to building our future-self.
- Building our environment, habits and mindset to best support our journey.
- Defining guiding principles to help us make the right choices under different circumstances.
- Finding ways to enjoy the ride.
Intentions are not about:
- short-term micro-tasks
- to-do lists
- replication of our calendar.
Setting our intention does not guarantee success each day, but it does put us in the driver seat. If we don’t take control, chances are that will still go for a ride anyways, but with little to no say in the journey or the destination.
What is Intention?
By definition, an intention is something one aims (or intends) to do, a determination to act in a certain way, our resolve. In Latin, it means ‘to stretch out’ and ‘to turn your attention to something’. Intention focuses attention to make things happen!
Why is Intention Important?
Setting intentions is powerful when done properly. The practice of setting Daily Intentions can change one’s life, but it requires us to take a moment to proactively define what we want to get out of each day and then actively pursue it.
Puts power in our own hands. As per Michelle Obama, every day is full of new possibilities and we have the power to choose, BUT if we don’t take the time to determine what we want to accomplish, we are giving away our say, our power to shape our day – then day by day, we give away our power to shape our own life.
Provides measuring stick for our successes. By not taking the time to set the intention of our day we give away the opportunity to feel good about our daily accomplishment. To-do lists are endless. How can we feel that we won the day, if we don’t even define what that means?
