The Power of Intention

We've all heard of the saying "Fake it til you make it."  What if I were to tell you there is some actual truth to that concept?!  It goes hand in hand with setting an intention that truly comes from your heart.  What do you want?  To be lean?  To have more free time in your life to travel?  To have more energy?  You can have it as long as you believe you can.  You become whatever you believe.  Thoughts are that powerful because they will lead our actions.  It is the driving force behind manifesting what you want in life.  If your intention is to lose weight, believe that you will lose weight.  Believe that you are lean already.  Visualize yourself as a lean person.  What activities do you see yourself doing as a lean person?  Then take actions throughtout the day that a lean person takes.  This is where that "Fake it til you make it comes it" comes in. :)  You become more conscious of what you're eating, because now you are eating like a lean person.  It goes beyond eating.  It's about living the lifestyle of a lean person or whatever your intended outcome is.

Thrive Tip

Setting Intentions and Taking Action   

 

1. First thing in the morning (before you do anything), write down your intention for the day. 
2. Sit with this intention for about 5 minutes.  Close your eyes and visualize yourself with the intended outcome. 
3. Throughout the day, "Fake it til you make it." If you're not sure what to do, then a little research may be required here.  Find out what it takes for your intended outcome to manifest.  Then break it up into steps that you can incorporate into your life everyday. 
4. Affirm your intention throughout the day with positive motivational statements.....affirmations. 
5. Trust the process.  To be your best self, sometimes you have to do things that feel uncomfortable.  Challenge yourself to break free of any fears and to trust that you are following your heart.  There is much to be learned in the process and this is actually where all the growing takes places for lifelong changes to occur.   
6. If you start to say "I can't, " then ask yourself, "If I could, then what would I do?"  Then do it. :)
