Happy 2019! Can you believe it's already January 2nd?! I hope you had the best holiday season and spend it amongst your closest friends and family.
In the spirit of the new year, I felt inspired to share with you the intentions I'm bringing with me into 2019. I like intentions because they are a gentler than resolutions, but still allow you to harness new energy.
Here are the 3 intentions I'm bringing into 2019:
Intention #1: "I am open to receiving"
Can we all agree to stop sabotaging our ability to receive once and for all...like seriously? I'm committing to fully honoring my worth this year and that means allowing myself to receive (without feeling guilty!) I'm not going to downplay what I feel I deserve in any area of my life--I'm going to feel GOOD about receiving (whether it's money, favors, friends, resources, experiences, love, etc.)
Intention #2: "Celebrate the small wins"
The small wins, aka the mini successes that eventually build up to you reaching a huge goal, are so so important, yet often go overlooked. Small wins can be as little as getting followers on your new Instagram page for your startup biz or getting new inquiries about working with you. When we honor the small wins, we keep the momentum towards our bigger goals alive. This year, I'm celebrating all my wins--big or small--every week! Some weeks this might look like a massage, some weeks it might be a spontaneous weekend getaway, other weeks it might be having a cozy night in. Whatever the case, I'm making sure my wins don't go unnoticed.
Intention #3: "Be here now"
As a yoga teacher, a huge part of what I teach my students is to be tuned in to the present moment. This looks like being focused on your breath, your body, your emotions, etc. As much as I've mastered this art on my yoga mat, it can be hard to apply the same principle to my business! It can be really challenging to be present when I have so many goals for the future and such a massive vision for where I want to be in 1 year, 5 years, and 10+ years down the line. But, I know that I want to live my life in the now, rather than to be living in the future (hello anxiety!!). While I still have goals and dreams, this year I'm committing to living as presently as possible, honoring where I am right here, right now and trusting that when the time is right, my goals for the future will manifest.
Whew! There they are! I'm capping it at 3 intentions to make sure I can really focus on and commit to each one. I hope you can take some inspiration from these as you're planning and setting goals for this year.
Wishing you all a beautiful 2019. SO excited for all the wins ahead in your life and business! I definitely have some exciting things happening in my business that I can't wait to share with you all (so stay tuned!)
Sending massive L O V E for the new year!
