Living an intentional life in 2021

I’m not really into ‘new year new you’ sentiments.

I am a naturally reflective person and so while I do take time each year to reflect on where I want to take myself next year, my daily commitments to self-reflection mean that by the end of the year, there aren’t any surprises and I’m not left with a whole heap of self/development work that I’ve been avoiding. I haven’t been avoiding myself, and it pays off.

Through intentional and mindful living, I take time every day to think about how aligned I am, how in tune I am and how authentic my life is.

By shifting the lens and steering my self in the right direction just a little bit each day, I don’t have to make major over-corrections.

I always know that I don’t need to try to be someone else: That isn’t what makes me happy.

I just need to stay focused on my personal vocation that utilise my natural gifts as much as possible.

My life goal is always to have my inner world and desires match my outer world as much as possible.

I want to be as aligned as possible with what my spirit is here to do and how I spend my time to reflect that.

Peace and contentment show me how close or far I am from inner and outer world congruence.

I want to do less so that I can be more.

I want to sink deeper into the knowing that who I am is enough and I have everything I need inside of me to create my purposeful life.

I do this by being the person I needed when I was younger to myself, moment to moment. By creating safety within myself, I am able to extend that safe space out to the world, my clients and my loved ones.

I want to show that by being my own light, I may give others permission to turn their own light on.

I trust that my daily commitment to being with myself is the most important time I can take. While I don’t always get it right, the most important thing is that I’m clear on who I am, what I want, and the path I need to hop back onto. That path has my name, and my name only on it. You must create the path for yourself that has your name embroidered into it, so that you may know it is for you, waiting for you, by you.

This is my wish for you x
