Setting clear intentions is one of the most powerful things you can do. Even more so when what you do on daily basis is designed to move you in the direction of those intentions.
I intend to cut the grass today.
I intend to spend more time off-screen this week.
I intend to eat more fruit this month.
We have all done it. Written or spoken intentions like those above. And then we ‘forget’ to cut the grass. And we were sent a brilliant podcast and were recommended a new series on Netflix. And fruit just got so expensive.
So what are powerful intentions then, I hear you ask?
Powerful intentions are set while in a state of awareness; based on your likes, values, strengths, and passions.
Powerful intentions are detached from strict outcomes, lack, or needs.
Powerful intentions are short and clear.
Let me share one of mine from my ‘Lifestyle’ category:
‘I travel joyfully, eat good food, enjoy the finer things in life, and spend time outdoors daily.’
This is clear, detached from strict outcomes, and easy to implement daily. It is also based on my love for travel, my love for food, and the fact I’m an outdoors person.
I did write ‘Lifestyle’ category. It is 1 of 8 categories I set intentions for. They are Business, Finance, Lifestyle, Social & Hobbies, Personal Development, Family & Relationships, Spirituality, and Fitness.
These categories are not rigid. Some clients have changed Fitness to Health. Or Business to Career.
Setting clear intentions is one of the most powerful things you can do. What are yours?

I find that clear intentions can be made when you know deep down that it’s what you need to do in order to make your life easier. Then it becomes an easy thing to follow up and actually do. Thanks Patrick for a great article!
