TRYING Is INTENTIONAL LIVING
INTENTIONAL LIVING may sound lofty, complicated OR simply confusing. BUT YES, it is a way of life that you can build with some reflection and even those small shifts. NOT to beat my chest BUT if there is one thing I can take immense pride in about myself and that is ensuring that every time I wake up, I have a crystal clear PURPOSE for that day and that short-term PURPOSE compounds to be my lifelong PURPOSE, with everything else being a manifestation of persistently TRYING INTENTIONAL LIVING๐๐๐
YES, INTENTIONAL LIVING has its life changing impact via its life changing practice. You may have stumbled across INTENTIONAL LIVING either in a conversation OR in one of the plastered ads. YES, it seems like INTENTIONAL LIVING s everywhere these days. BUT WHAT does it really mean to be INTENTIONAL? WHAT does it look like to do things with intention? And perhaps, is INTENTIONAL LIVING feasible for us all???
YES dude, anyone of us can lead an INTENTIONAL and PURPOSE-filled life and the key to identify WHAT that personally means for you, and make small BUT still significant shifts and conscious choices to build it. In the fewest words, INTENTIONAL LIVING means building your life around your core beliefs and values๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
You might pester me. In the fewest, practical words, WHAT'S INTENTIONAL LIVING? To piggy-back an expression by psychologists, INTENTIONAL LIVING means NOT acting on impulse OR merely existing. Rather, it's about having a FULL CONTROL of your everyday life. LIKE taking a long walk with your spouse because movement and quality time are your priorities. LIKE ensuring your activities make it into your schedule to prioritize self-care๐๐๐
Our takeaway: So, WHAT makes INTENTIONAL LIVING that important? Studies show numerous mental health benefits LIKE lowering one's stress. It's WHEN you stop weighing the PROs and CONs of every decision as it causes undue anxiety. Instead, you tend to be guided by your 'North Star' as it serves as your compass, purposely made out of your core beliefs and values. Word of caution. INTENTIONAL LIVING is NOT always comfortable and calming. At times, it can be challenging and even awkward, especially in the beginning. BUT remember many worthwhile things in life can be tough sometimes. BUT the key is to keep going, remind yourself that your LIFE with INTENTION will go a long way WHEN aligned with your principles. Dude, keep TRYING INTENTIONAL LIVING❗❗❗
