New Years resolutions are common practice in the U.S. Maybe setting intentions is a better idea. What’s the difference?

Resolutions

To make a resolution means that your focus is on making a firm decision to do or not to do something.

What is your focus on? Have you decided not to do something? When you think about what you don’t want, that’s what you attract into your life.

Or, are you focused on doing something different to improve your life. You make a decision to eat healthy. Yes, it’s positive thinking, however, it means that you were not eating healthy before. Your thoughts are still on what you don’t want.

So, you think you’re moving from one way of life into another. But, are you? In other words, you’re still focused on what makes you unhappy, what you don’t want.

Both are centered around change. Therefore, your focus is on what you don’t have in your life or what you don’t want.

With a resolution, you’re trying to break a habit. To break a habit is very difficult. It’s difficult to change the patterns in ones living style.

Remember, what you think on is what you manifest into your life.

Intention

Intention is a thing intended; an aim or plan.

Think about setting an intention instead of resolutions. To set an intention is to have an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions.

Do you see the difference? One is focused on fixing or changing. The other is making a plan and taking action.

A new perspective

Change your thinking and you change your life! I challenge you to set intentions in 2022. Setting intentions, is looking at the possibilities. In addition, we are taking steps to manifest the life we intend to live. In other words, seize the opportunities that are in front of you.

Summary

There is no limit in the possibilities. For instance, I have changed my life radically! Above all, I followed my intuition! A dream I have nourished for over twenty years is now a reality. Having set this intention years ago, means that I allowed it to unfold naturally.

Most importantly, live your dreams! After that, you experience the life you intended to live.

I challenge you to look at New Years resolutions from a different angle. Be proactive in creating your reality!
