30 Days to More Joy and Satisfaction

I love new beginnings and significant dates.  Today marks the 1st day of the last month of the last year of this decade.  That feels like a great time to reflect on my life and what is next for me.  

  

·      This month I will practice more deliberate intention in all that I do

·      I will get ready to be ready for the wonderful future I know is coming

·      I will focus more on my heart’s desire and less on outside events

·      When I feel a negative emotion, I will remind myself that it is important to acknowledge and then shift my focus to a better feeling thought

·      I will appreciate the contrast that helps me to know what I do want and be grateful for the evidence of my dreams manifesting

·      I will focus my thoughts and attention on all that is in harmony with me

·      I will feel more joy and appreciation for all of the goodness that is in my life right now 

Intention

I have always considered myself to be a very mindful person but recently I have learned how much more I can do. From "Ask and it is Given" there is a process called Segment Intending. Essentially this is to break down your day in very small pieces and set a positive intention for each of those segments.

Before I began this I was amazed how much time I let slip by throughout my day. Whether it was cooking dinner or getting ready for bed I was doing several things at once and not taking the time to set any deliberate intention about it.

Now I am experiencing an awareness and appreciation of even the smallest moments as I move through my day. Knowing that I have consciously decided how I want to spend my time is very satisfying.
