30 Yoga Intentions

Get Ready...Get Set Your Intention “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world” ~Buddha When I first began practicing yoga, I found intention setting to be the most profound aspect within the actual class offering. I would resonate with instructors that brought the dharma into their classes. It is, without a doubt, what kept me coming back to yoga class. I had never listened to myself, and my body, so closely. I began understanding why I reacted and responded in certain ways by simply holding thought on a purpose. More importantly, with that understanding, I began shifting my thoughts to become a better version of myself. It felt freaking great to understand who I was and for everything to finally make sense. When I began teaching yoga, I found bringing an intention or theme into my yoga flows generated great healing for my students. Today, it is ever so rare that I teach a class without intention. Yoga class is amazing, of course you know I highly recommend it, but guess what? You can bring intention into your life without being in a yoga class. Incorporating mindful intentions into everyday living is the starting point of fulfilling your dreams and needs as a happy human soul. When we set intentions, we are asking ourselves what we are needing to feel happiness, we are listening to our hearts, and we are becoming fully aware of negative thoughts that may be holding us back. An Intention is a conscious idea, a powerful purpose, a softening virtue, a quality of life, and a positive thought you cultivate into your day, meditation, or yoga practice. It is a mindful theme or mantra you can use as an anchor when life gets a little chaotic, stressful, or overwhelming. When your thoughts have veered towards a negative direction, or when you feel like you’re going to lose your marbles, having an intention to back you up can change your outlook. The way we train our mind, and the thoughts we choose to keep coming back to have a huge impact on how we feel on a day to day basis and throughout our overall life. It’s living with purpose and it leads to discovering and peace. So, let’s do an experiment? Are you with me? 30 days of intentions! I have put together 30 intentions for you to incorporate into the next 30 days. Here’s how it works: 1~ Choose a starting date. 2~ Print this list out. 3~ Choose one intention for each day by sitting in quiet stillness each morning and asking yourself what you are truly needing. 4~ Once you’ve chosen your intention for that day, sit in that stillness for a few more minutes while you bring awareness into the intention. Maybe even try contemplating the intention during a morning meditation or yoga sess. Contemplation is the idea that you work on only allowing thoughts that revolve around your intention into your thought stream. 5~ Show up with your intention by your side throughout the day, let it remind you of what you want to manifest into the world, and watch as your intentions grow and flourish throughout the coming days. 6~ Lastly…try journaling the experience each night. Watch how a feeling of peace begins to blanket your heart. These little thoughts are powerful, grounding, deeply effective and can change your attitude and choices for the better. 30 days of intentions 1~ Just breathe. Try slowing your breath down throughout the day. Breath is life. Breath is peace. Remind yourself to flow with your breath. Especially when faced with challenge. 2~ Have Patience. Patience with yourself and others. Practicing this virtue is a favorite of mine. 3~ Be grateful. What are you grateful for? Begin by choosing one person or thing. Throughout your day see your world with grateful eyes. Appreciate everything. 4~ Let go…are you hanging onto something that’s holding you back? A negative thought or experience? Conversation? Bad relationship? Choose to let it go. Do not allow your mind to go there. 5~ Self-love day. Recognize your amazing self. Choose a quality you love about yourself. Come back to it when you notice you’re beating yourself up with thoughts. Spend some time making yourself feel good. 6~ Spread kindness. Be compassionate and open your heart. No explanation necessary. 7~ Be generous. With thoughts, your smile, your time, kind text messages, and maybe even buy a stranger a coffee or donate to a special charity. 8~ Listen to the voice within. Simply be aware of your thoughts. Tune into yourself. Hear your thoughts fully. 9~ Find comfort in the comfortable. When you feel uneasiness set in, search for a positive light. Don’t run from the uncomfortable. Instead ask yourself how you can grow from it. 10~ Begin again. Start over. Each minute, hour, or day we are given the opportunity to start fresh and have a do over. Allow yourself to begin again no matter how many times. 11~ Ditch fear. Do something courageous that you’re scared of. 12~ Honor truth. Do not allow yourself to be dishonest about the very own thoughts you speak to yourself or what you say to others. It is so freeing living without guilt. 13~ Be present. Be here now and stay here. Don’t go backwards or forwards in the past or future. Enjoy the moment you are in now. 14~ Go with the flow. We don’t have to plan every day. 15~ Positive words and vibes only all day long. Can all your thoughts be positive. No complaining allowed. Send consistent smiles to everyone you see. 16~ Slow down. Pause. Move a little slower. Notice more beauty in everything that surrounds you. 17~ Abandon perfection. Stop thinking you need to be perfect. 18~ No Judgment. Judge nothing. Especially not your own self and others. No labels. No stereotypes. Nothing is neither good nor bad. See everything with new eyes. 19~ Notice the power of the mind. You’re in control. Don’t let it trick you. What you think you become. Notice how your ego tries to fight you into less control over the self. 20~ Play. Have fun with life. Be playful. Life is a game. Allow yourself to enjoy the ride. 21~ Keep your eyes still. Wandering eyes equals a wandering mind. Try to stay focused by holding stillness in the eyes. Focus the eyes on what is in front of you each moment. 22~ Feel all the feels…don’t push them away. Feelings are tough. Allow them to stay until they teach you what you need to know. 23~ Allow yourself to rest. Rest days are important to your happiness. 24~ Don’t take anything personal. Everyone is in a different experience. We never truly know what someone else is internally going through. 25~ Appreciate your body. Accept your body. Claim your body. Be in your body. Love your body for everything it gives you and does for you. 26~ Be you…in your natural state and abandon the idea you need to be more like someone else. 27~ Follow your heart. Listen to your intuition. Trust your gut. 28~ Don’t give up. Don’t quit. Stay strong. Stand back up if you fall. 29~ Don’t look back. Keep moving forward. No regrets. 30~ No expectations. Don’t expect anything. Allow the universe to bring you what you truly deserve. I would love to hear about your experience with these intentions.

You're engaged, now what

He asked you, you said yes, he put the ring on your finger, you set the date, now what??? First and foremost, you should find the venue. Many sites are booked a year in advance, so delaying this process is not a good idea. You may end up disappointed and not having your dream wedding in your dream venue, so don't delay, start looking now. Next, finding the perfect wedding dress. If you're dress needs to be ordered, we suggest starting right away. By ordering right away, you save the stress of last minute rushing. Keep in mind, you may have to have alterations, by ordering early, your seamstress will not have to rush the dress, giving you the perfect fit. In addition, there are unforseen circumstances that could happen. The wrong dress or size comes in. The earlier you order, the better your chances are that the bridal shop can fix the problem without you knowing. A top quality bridal shop will fix the problem to avoid adding any additional stresses onto you. When searching for that perfect dress, don't overwhelm the bridal shop by bringing everyone with you. You should only shop with your mom and one other person you trust. By bringing everyone, you end up with so many comments, you end up confused or worse, with more stress. Also, just because you see an ad on TV for that $99 dress, does not mean you will get something you have dreamed of. Buyer Beware! Shopping in a bridal boutique is a much more relaxed feeling. The clerks are there to help you. They carry unique dresses, ones you have been dreaming of since you married Ken and Barbie. Moms and bridesmads dresses can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks to come in, if they need to order. Try to give at least 16 weeks for the same reasons you would order your dress early. If any problems happen, there's time to tix them. And remember girls, ALWAYS pay with a credit or debit card. This protects you in case the bridal shop goes out of business. Now you want to start finding the photographers, D.J.s and florist. Research each vendor. Ask for letters of recommendations and view their work. You don't want to plan on a quiet reception but end up with M.C. Hammer do you? And don't forget to book your officiant early, they too get booked almost a year in advance. The best advise is to avoid stress in a time that should be all about you and him, is tor you to seriously consider hiring a Wedding Planner. Many girls believe they need to be rich or a celebrity to hire a planner. Not true, all you need is the desire to have a stress free day. Others believe they lose control of their wedding, again, not true. A wedding planner works for you, you don't work for them. Your engagement should be all about the wonder and love for each other, not fighting over simple things. Wedding Planners also have the ability to work with vendors to save you money. Who doesn't want to save money. Many planners have set fees while other base their fees on a percentage. There are many packages available out there, so pick the one that best fits your needs. This is a time for you. Try to enjoy it. There are ways of avoiding stress, all you need to do is want it. ...read more
