Happy Monday!! One important theme within yoga is *intention*... What intention you have when you practice movement. What intention you have when you speak to yourself and others. What intention you have when you set your mind toward any goal or accomplishment. Intention is not the same as a *goal* - we are not trying to achieve some specific, measurable outcome within a specific time. I like to think of intentions as a desired feeling. I want to feel productive, accomplished, at peace, at ease, energized, satisfied, fulfilled...etc... When we know how we want to feel, we can design our habits and our tasks toward outcomes that help us feel that way. Note: We mustn't assign the feeling we desire to the specific outcome we think we want to achieve. The feeling should be attained by the actions of trying, not based on the specific outcome. We can be proud of our actions – the habits and systems we set up for ourselves, or the tasks that we accomplish – without achieving a SPECIFIC outcome. The outcome may differ. We should not be ATTACHED to the outcome itself, but the PROCESS of tying. So with that in mind... What is your INTENTION for this week? What desired feelings do you hope to achieve? How are you going to set up your habits, your tasks, your system of actions? It can be very difficult to answer this on the spot. So I invite you to take some time at the beginning of the week to get quiet and still and ask yourself... what feeling would make me feel proud of my accomplishments this week? Share below if you'd like some sort of accountability and to revisit this at the end of the week!
