INTENT | A Life Of Purpose.
In our busy world, it’s easy to get caught up in daily routines and distractions. But I decided to take a different approach. I started living with intent and for me, this means making conscious choices that reflect my true values and goals. It’s about me being mindful of my actions and decisions, ensuring they align with what matters to me. It’s not just going with the flow, but taking control of what I can in my life.
Knowing Myself and Setting Goals.
The first step in living with intent was knowing myself. I spent time understanding my values, who I am, what I’m passionate about, and what are some of the things I can control and what to do with things that I am not in control of. This has made it easier for me to make decisions that felt right to me.
Wait, FYI, this does not mean in any way that I am perfect but more of figuring out how to work on my imperfections without judging or feeling ashamed of who I am and what I have done.
Having clear goals has been a big part of my intentional living journey. Whether it’s improving my health, building better relationships, or advancing my career, setting specific goals has helped me stay focused and motivated towards my goals.
Being Mindful and Keeping It Simple.
Mindfulness has become part of my daily routine, being present in the moment, and paying attention to how and who I spend my time and energy with has helped me make choices instead of just reacting to what’s happening around me.
Emotions can be dangerous too.
I am still learning how to do this, but I have embraced simplicity in my life, by cutting out unnecessary distractions and commitments, I can focus on what truly matters. This simplification has made my life less stressful and more meaningful. I am also working towards doing what I can while working towards the bigger picture.
Practising Gratitude and Facing Challenges.
Gratitude has been key to me living with intent. Taking time to appreciate the good things in my life has made me feel more content and fulfilled. A positive outlook helps me stay focused on my goals and values.
Living with intent is not always easy, It takes effort and constant reflection of who you are, and the decisions you make. When I live with purpose, my life becomes richer and more satisfying.
In short, living with intent is about making choices that align with my true self. It’s been a journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, and gratitude. By living intentionally, I’ve been able to create a life that is not only meaningful but also deeply fulfilling. The journey continues, we are not yet there but we will reach someday because the rewards are worth it.
