You hear it all the time: be careful what you wish for because it may just come true. Well, I feel the same way about those powerful little wishes called intentions.
I have to say that setting intentions has been very effective for me this past year, so much so that when the cool peeps at Intent.com asked me to contribute a guest post to their 30-days of Yoga Intents, I couldn’t say no.
It was pretty difficult for me to come up with just one yoga intention to write about, so I opted to create a top ten list of my personal favorites. When you direct your mind and heart in a new direction, it can be very powerful, so take a leap on over to Intent.com and maybe you’ll find an intention that speaks to your heart or find the inspiration for your very own intention!
Would love to hear which intention speaks to you, or what intention is your favorite.
my intention this week is “speak less, meditate more” because I honestly think i talk SO MUCH and often times its just to hear myself speak. and what doesnt improve silence shouldnt be said at all you know?? Plus i really need to up my meditation routine – 10min a day is just not enough!
To look upon all beings with compassion..
To find a way to laugh at myself when I start complaining…
To drop the story line..
To listen more and speak less…
I like to set two separate intentions: one related to my yoga class and the other outside.
1) My intention for class is to improve balance and posture
2) My intention for my life is to stop thinking and be worry free
