Intention for 2012

The dictionary defines intention as:
purpose or attitude toward the effect of one’s actions or conduct.

I find that setting an intention for the year motivates and guides my decisions and actions.

A few years ago I began setting an intention for the year ahead. Last year I chose vitality. Although I didn’t quite experience the vitality I had imagined, I am in a far better place then where I was a year ago. My intention for 2012 is strength, strength of body, mind and spirit. I was inspired a few months ago by a tweet Strong is the new skinny! I am confident that striving to be stronger in all areas of my life will have a positive impact on myself and those around me.

How do I intend to do this?
Strong body:

• 31 in 31 – 31 runs in 31 days
• Weight training with Nike Training Club app
• Improve my diet by eating healthy foods,  avoiding common allergens,  consuming good quality protein such as Vega Whole Food Optimizer and cooking more
• Train for and run the RunWalk4Patrick half-marathon
• Practice Yoga Nidra 2-3 times a week.

Strong mind:

• Continue my daily meditation
• Read more
• Be more present and practice more gratitude
• Hire a life coach
• Challenge myself to keep learning and growing
• Refuse to settle for mediocrity

Strong spirit:

• Fear less and love more
• Take care of my relationships
• Clear out the victims and energy vampires from my environment
• Attend a retreat with Algonquin Medicine Man in Algonquin Park
• Chase and create special moments
• Trust in the process

As we enter 2012 take advantage the New Year’s magical energy of infinite possibilities. Set an intention and trust the process. Happy c0-creating!
