With the New Year upon us, it is the time that many of us look to embrace Resolutions.
Resolutions are a firm stand for or against or quality of determination - to be resolute.
While the resolutions many of us make are aspirational, sometimes we get stuck on being “firm” instead of being determined. That hard wall can be a be inhibiting when making bold changes.
intentions on the other hand are the aim of or the plan. It is the making of a plan for the things we mean to do or way we aim to act and be. Intention is a commitment to carrying out actions. It requires forethought. Intentions can be just as powerful as resolutions, but they feel softer and more forgiving.
So, why not embody the best of these two ideas? Let’s intend to be determined. Let’s intend to look at our future goals and set up a road map to success so that our present is not so overwhelming. Let’s commit ourselves to being better and remember that being better requires forgiveness of ourselves. Let’s intend to be more flexible, not just in body, but in our mind and heart as well. Let’s intend to be resolute in this.
