Then, once you speak some intentions into the universe, the work is far from over. Instead, you actually have to activate them within your day-to-day life.
If one of your intentions was to move your body in ways that make you feel good, then be sure to carve out twenty or thirty minutes to do just that. Have a dance party, walk your dog, do some yoga, or do anything that floats your boat.
Likewise, if you want to work on listening skills, be sure to stay present in your conversations with family members, friends, and coworkers. Take a second after they are done speaking to soak in what they really mean before responding.
There is no right or wrong way to go about this “spiritual to-do list,” but making incremental and intentional habits every single day will help you chip away at them.
Plus, if you find that you are feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed during the process, journaling is a great way to keep track of your intentions, feelings, and behaviors. By writing these things down, you will be practicing active self-awareness and self-reflection. You can even put some intentions on post-it notes on your vanity mirror, refrigerator, or anywhere you frequently go throughout your day to serve as little reminders.
Finally, the most important thing to remember when setting intentions is to make them about things that excite you, that feels possible, and that feel true to your core values and beliefs.
With this mix, your brain will start to believe your intentions, and your behaviors will match up to help bring your intentions that much closer to fruition.
