Intentional Living

This year I decided to start talking about ‘new age’ concepts, marketing and vocabulary that doesn’t mean anything. I am not a ‘new age’ girl. I am a grown up spiritual advisor. My friend Anissa inspired this idea and I align with it.  This month I have very plainly spoke about Love. I know I am not using ‘key’ marketing words. I actually want you to understand what I am saying. If you have questions let me know whether you are watching the Live Show, replay or reading the blog. You should question everything you don’t understand. When you ask questions you gain wisdom. 

We are all individuals on our life’s journey, we each have our own opinions, ideas, plans for our lives. It is up to us to decide how we present to ourselves to the world and how that aligns with our souls. 

There are many people who are moving through life, without intention, purpose, clarity, presence or valuing themselves. They are living remotely, not present.

Let’s take a breath, connect to our heart chakras. Just breathe in the feeling of love. Let’s feel love flow through us and all around us. Now we are present.

​Let’s look at intentional living. I have taught about intention and gratitude for many years now.  

Tonight, we are going to look at it from the place of you choosing you and how you want to live your life. 

What do you want your life to look like? 

Intentional living is the deliberate, conscious practice of aligning daily actions, decisions, and habits with your core values and long-term goals. It moves you from reacting to circumstances to proactively designing a meaningful life, often involving simplifying, setting boundaries, and focusing on what truly matters to you. 

What does that mean?

It’s all about being aware of your personal values, beliefs, and what brings fulfillment in your life. Reflect on what truly matters to you family, health, creativity, faith etc. Intentional living is about making decisions that align with your soul and following through with those decisions.  

Learn to say "no" to distractions and obligations that do not align with your purpose.

Make decisions based on your purpose rather than just reacting to situations or following others' expectations.
Remember expectation = disappointment. 

Be cool with who you are and who others are. It’s your life. 

Nurture meaningful connections in your life.

So many people fret over what others think and feel about them. Think of all the time and energy you will have by retraining yourself to not spiral, instead focus on Creating the life you want.  Think about the clarity you will have, by focusing on what you want for yourself and how you want to live your life. Declutter your time, energy, and physical space to focus on what matters most.  Get rid of what doesn’t serve or value you, people, belongings, actions.  When your mind is clear, your intuition works at optimum.
What matters most to you?
Audit how you spend your time and money to ensure they reflect your values and goals.  

Money is a big topic during readings. There are so many ways to make money presently. If you are employed and need more, create a side hustle that doesn’t require much of your attention. Save money. No matter what I always save money even if it is $25 a month.  Talk to the people at your bank about how you can invest. Make a prosperity plan. Stick with the plan. You will find you feel better, secure about your finances. 

Pursue a career that brings fulfillment and meaning. For those of you who are doing this, be patient with your search. If you want to make your side hustle your full time business start a transition plan and fulfill it. 
Example:
I have a client who is a single mom. She wanted a career, so she could be present in raising her daughter. She applies long eyelashes. That is her career. She can afford to be a single mom, go on vacations with her daughter, live in a place they like. She had a transition plan from being a beautician in a salon working like a crazy person, to doing the eyelash business. She is living intentionally.

Build habits that support your goals. Be Purposeful in choosing how to care for your body, mind, spirit.

Regularly evaluate your life and make small, daily adjustments to stay aligned with your goals. Remember life flows and so should you, be flexible while you grow. 

Slow down and be present in your daily activities to ensure they are intentional.

Intentionality can be applied to all areas of life. 

As we set up our intentions, remember to flow with it. Don’t get hung up on set backs. Be real. I know in movies everything pretty much happens in 90 minutes. Movies are inspirational, remember you are living in the real world. 

Living intentionally takes time, presence and patience. 
Have a beautiful week! Stay safe, keep your heart open and aligned with the energy of LOVE!
