Setting intentions for the day

There is a beautiful long running thread for daily gratitude here that I find really useful in life.

I thought alongside it, it may be nice to have a place to state our intention for the day. I find intention setting a really lovely way to change my attitude to the potential ups and downs of daily life.

We have all been a little grumpy the last few days with each other chez breathmiller and I decided today that I would go a whole day without moaning at anyone in the house. Dh and I are on board together to try to model the behaviour to our kids who have been tetchy.

And because I set that intention my day so far has been so much better already. My communications and connection with those in the house so much more harmonious.

I was so busy trying to police others behaviour that I was forgetting to work on myself.

Peace begins with me.

All welcome

My intention today is to keep going with yesterdays intention as it transformed the day.

And adding on keeping my phone upstairs more so I'm not on it as much.

This is a lovely idea, breath. Intention setting is really important, I think, and can really change and focus our mindset.

Today, I want to be purposely productive and contribute to my meeting this afternoon and I intend to treat my family with love and patience.

Today I intend to be kinder to myself. I'm usually very hard on myself and it's not good, tbh. So today, I will cut myself some slack.

This weekend I intend to chill out a bit and lieon the couch reading. The housework can wait.

I set my daily intention within my morning yoga practice- usually just a word or a phrase.
It helps me with focus for the day.

A bit late today but it is my intention to be a bit more patient today. I've been on a bit of a knife edge lately

To be more focused and to make time for God.

Today my intention is for gentleness and to try to accept support when it's offered.

I intend to honour myself as divine today.

That's lovely @speakout
I intend to be present with my son today

Today is one year since my mum passed away so today my intention is to honour her by being thankful for the time that we had and to count my blessings.
