There are many ways I could have approached the intentions I want to set for this new year, but what felt most comfortable was to be authentic but general. I am trying to be somewhat vague because I welcome the different possibilities for how these intentions might manifest!
Anyway, in no particular order, my intentions for 2011 are to:
- Learn new skills.
- Try new things.
- Travel new places.
- Ride roller coasters.
- Be myself.
- Eat good food.
- Read.
- Walk.
- Stroll.
- Explore.
- Expand.
- Play.
- Celebrate.
- Laugh a lot.
- Love a lot.
- Smile a lot.
- Be kind.
- Work hard.
- Be Mindful.
- Be creative.
- Share.
- Be grateful.
- Enjoy nature.
- Go camping.
- Go hiking.
- Dance like no one is watching.
- Exercise.
- Sing.
- Be compassionate.
- Be passionate.
- Be amazing.
- Shine my light.
- Grow.
- Learn.
- Simplify.
- Admire.
- Be joyous.
- Be happy.
- Cry it out.
- Be awe-inspired.
- Relax.
- Enjoy.
- See the beauty.
- Slow down.
- Respect.
- Care.
- Be a good friend, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, person… and whatever other roles I may take on this year!
- Own my awesomeness.
There were a few of those I wanted to be more specific with, but I also decided I should try to turn of the over-analyzing part of my brain (if only for a little while), since one of my words and intentions is simplify! I am also sure there are more intentions I could add, but at this moment the list feels pretty complete, so I am going with it!
Ahhh…. intentions are so much more light and fun! I totally recommend them over those heavy, loaded “resolutions!” What are your intentions for the new year?
