Do you remember your Power Intention you set at the beginning of the year? Yeah...the word(s) or phrase you set to support yourself having a purposeful year? If you can’t remember, it might be a great time to check in. If you want to create one, head here to discover yours.
Our Power Intentions aren’t just here to help us elevate our lives and design a vision for ourselves, but they are here to help us navigate obstacles and challenges so that we can stay focused and connected to what matters most.
Our Power Intentions become a north star— when there is darkness, or when we might feel lost or confused, our Power Intentions support us in finding light, meaning, direction and purpose.
This practice is so powerful, especially as we are exploring this uncharted territory of the “re-entry” phase of the pandemic here in the United States.
Life is finding a familiar rhythm as restaurants, movie theaters, travel, weddings, parties and working from the office begin to occur in full capacity.
Navigating this amount of noise and excitement can be overwhelming if we aren’t anchored within ourselves.
Connecting to your Power Intention from a mental and felt sense can offer a respite for grounding and a place to put your focus and attention.
We get to remember that as we “re-enter,” we are not the same person we were 1.5 years ago. Our cells are different, our values and insights might have shifted our beliefs and habits.
As we re-enter, we get to “wade” into the water with intention— not assuming we know how to navigate, but resting back into this north star to guide the way.
As one of my meditation teachers, Phillip Moffitt, says, “it is not about resulting.” Instead, life is about being available with the clarity of intention.
To be honest, the re-entry phase is challenging for me. I have had several panic attacks in the last month, which is a new and different experience for me. I am observing what’s occurring with lots of compassion because I know they are here to teach me something.
I am leaning back into my Power Intention of Self-Trust to help guide the way to wise action. Re-entry is not a band aid I want to rip off. It is an experience I want to navigate mindfully.
