Did you know that you can even set an intention to have a great day?
Rather than diving into your morning and hoping you’ll achieve your day’s big goal, why not take a moment and set yourself up for success?
Try this “Setting an Intention to Succeed” exercise used by professional athletes, speakers, politicians, and performers:
Here's what to do:
- Upon waking, lie in bed and think about what you have planned for your day (or, find a quiet spot to sit and contemplate). How is it that you want to feel?
- Think about your desired outcome. Take a deep breath and visualize yourself feeling a certain way or succeeding throughout the day.
- Replay your success several times in your mind. How does that feel for you?
- Next, add other senses, including sounds, smells, and touch. Envision it!
- Lastly, replay the scene again, adding emotions. Feel your elation or your pride at finally finishing a project or getting that hour of movement in.
You can perform Setting an Intention to Succeed throughout the day as you desire it.
So give it a try one day this week and let me know how your day turns out!
It works.
Until next time,
Sending you love, joy and gratitude, Nancy
