Intentions
In order to live empowered, we must first activate what we want in our own life. One way that we can begin doing this is by creating intentions. An intention is a statement that literally establishes a direction for energy and then activates the experiences that we want. Intentions can be inner or outer, with both being equally important.
Inner vs. Outer Intentions
Inner intentions, as you may have guessed, has to do with how we want to feel, or an inner state of being that we want to experience. Outer intentions, on the other hand, clarify what we want to accomplish, such as a task or errand. While inner intentions and outer intentions are two separate entities, they are designed to work together. For example, if you wake up in the morning, your intentions might be to clean your home (outer intention) as well as feel a sense of accomplishment (inner intention) when it is complete. See how these two go hand in hand?
Setting Intentions
So, why is it important to purposely create intentions? As you set intentions, you accomplish several goals. First, you clarify what you want to accomplish and experience and secondly, you clarify how you want to direct your energy! Once these clarifications have been made and articulated, your actions will naturally get into alignment with them.
Setting intentions is vitally important, but it really isn’t hard to do. It is important to note, though, that all intentions should be created from a place of clarity and should deliberately name a frequency, and should not just be a mindless chant of words. To get started, ask yourself what motivation is behind the action you want to accomplish? For example, if you wish to lose weight, what is the reason? Is it to be healthier? Perhaps it is to boost your self esteem or to feel better about yourself? These reasons would be your inner intentions!
Next, take time to visualize both your inner and outer intentions being fulfilled. With the example of weight loss, think about stepping on the scale and seeing your goal weight appear. Imagine wearing that dress or outfit in the size that is your goal. Even picture yourself receiving compliments from people around you on how great you look and how much weight you have lost. What you are doing is pre-paving your energy in advance in order to create a vibrational match to the energy of the inner and outer intention that you wish to activate!
