Intention Setting- What is it and why should we do it?

Intention setting and goal setting are very similar, but I like intention setting because it feels simpler. We set goals and intentions so that we have a path to the life that we want to live. Without it, we blindly walk through life, and we can miss out on things that are actually really important to us.

Think of the feeling that you want 2023 to have. Take a minute to imagine it. Where and who do you want to become next year? What kind of person do you want to be, what do you want to have accomplished, what people do you want in your life, and how do you want to interact with them? Then try to narrow that feeling down to one word. That is your intention. 

For example, I want to feel connected with myself, my loved ones, and the world around me, so my word is connection.

Check the list below for inspiration! Once you have your word, we are going to write it on a half sheet of paper and decorate it. I will put it on my board so that we can look back at our intentions throughout the semester.

Now, it's not enough to just want something. You have to work towards it. On the back of your paper, write three action steps that you can take to reach your intention. They can be as big or as small as you want!
