I had a really hard time grasping this concept because it had so many different meanings to me. I mean, isn’t everything we do intentional? However I learned not to take the statement too literally. Yes all actions are intentional but it’s more about what you’re putting your time towards that will directly affect you and your goals. There are so many ways to ensure what you’re doing everyday is a direct reflection of who you want to become and where you want to end up!
With that being said, this means something different to every single one of us. I want to share how I’m managing to be intentional with every single second. This is such an important concept to input in your life. It will absolutely help develop the narrative of your life that you’re aiming for. Once you figure out your idea on “being intentional” it’s so easy!!
How do I do it? Let’s talk about it!
Say no more than you say yes. I know this sounds super negative BUT let me explain. I’ve spoken about this before, I had a very hard time saying no to things and people. I hated disappointing people and wanted to make everyone happy. However, even though the other party was happy..I was left unfulfilled and disheartened. Now, if I think that doing something is not going to benefit me and my goals. It is a waste of precious time I will never get back.
Make it a priority to work on self development. Whether that’s reading, listening to podcasts, meditating, listening to music or going for walks. Whatever your idea of this is...do it. No matter what your schedule looks like, this is definitely something everyone can find time to do.
Get your mindset right. If your mind isn’t in the right place, it will set the tone for your whole day. If I start my day thinking that it’s gonna be unproductive...it will be unproductive. If I start my day knowing something bad is going to happen..something bad will happen. I will do it first thing in the morning then throughout the day if I feel like I need it. Never too much!!!
Piggy backing off your mindset, it’s the very definition of “The Law of Attraction”. What you put into the universe, the universe will give you. I won’t say it’s super easy to do this because sometimes depending on what you’ve been through..being positive is so hard. However once you make it a daily habit, it becomes easier! That I can promise you 💕
Improve your space. I wanna finish this off with one that has become one of my top methods of being intentional. If my living space is chaotic, cluttered and disorganized..it affects my mood. I can’t stress enough how important it is to make sure your space is something you look forward to being in. It should be your sanctuary and motivate you to be productive. Everyday, I make sure that I am lead to success by my surroundings. Stay inspired, stay driven and stay INTENTIONAL.
I challenge you to utilize each day to its fullest. Find what it is that you want to achieve in life, and use every minute working towards it. No excuses, you will get out of life what you put in!
