One of the best things to do for yourself is to set an intention and then make it happen. Intentions are great for relationships, goals and anything that you would like to accomplish in life. I have made some very strong intentions this year of 2011. What I like to do is write out my intention and then keep it clear in my mind. When deciding what to set as your intention think about what it is that motivates you. My latest and greatest intention was my 30 Day Challenge. One of my best friends, Melanie invited me to join her at her Bikram Yoga class in Palm Desert about 6 weeks ago. At first I was unsure if I wanted to go because I knew that when I was a member of my Bikram Yoga San Jose studio I was hooked on it. I wasn’t sure if I could make this commitment. Well, after one class I knew I still had the desire and the drive and the Bikram Yoga University Village studio was gorgeous. The teachers were all enthusiastic and dedicated and I knew I was home. I set my intention on making the 30 day challenge and challenging myself to put myself to the edge of my comfort zone. I not only completed the challenge, but I also committed myself to take out alcohol, sugar and caffeine for the entire 30 days. During these 30 days, Melanie and I completed 46 classes (several days we did doubles: back to back!). What this has done for me has reminded me that our mind is very smart. Not only have I felt better, but I lost 22 pounds during these last 30 days.
Today in your journaling, what would you like to set an intention to do? Dream big, what would you like to do? Set some goals for yourself. Now that my 30 day challenge is over we are celebrating with our friends at the 3rd Corner Bistro in Palm Desert. If you are in the area, come join us and cheers to everyone!!
