Setting your creative intentions

It’s January so you have probably heard the word “resolution” a few hundred times. For years I always set resolutions on January 1st….lose weight, keep my house clean, etc. They never seemed to stick

Four years ago, I changed my thoughts around resolutions. I decided to make a list of ways I wanted to feel, not things I wanted to do (or stop doing). Once I thought about how I wanted to feel, then I could look at my goals and see if they moved me closer to feeling that way. This was really a monumental change for me. Some goals disappeared because the feelings associated with them were not what I wanted.

Check out my video series for more details….

Getting clear about your intentions and following them allows you to claim back time. How many years do you find yourself saying “How is it already December?”? Intention give you a direction and combat distraction. Goals don’t have to be tossed, but allow your goals to lead you towards your intentions.

One intention that is always on my list is CREATIVITY. Being creative is a key to my happiness. I can notice a difference in my mental health when I do not make the time to create. Once I set that intention years ago, my other goals started to line up to make it happen. This is how you begin to live intentionally.

Let me know….do you set goals, intentions or something else? Do you have any creative intentions for this year?
