Something new...

Latley I've been trying something new with pretty good results. Each morning I started to write my intention down for the day. What that means is I wrote down on a piece of paper what I wanted to accomplish during the day. It only took a minute.

I noticed that in doing so, I began to actually do what I intended for the day.
Sometimes I didn't do everything. Sometimes I did things that headed me toward my intention. Quite a few times I actually completed the full intention I wrote in the morning.

Perhaps writing it down made me focus a bit more. It was easy to do since it only took a minute each morning. Perhaps it made me more clear on I what I wanted. It's certainly easy to be clear on what you want for a particular day.

After a few days I was getting excited about this so I got myself a notebook to write my daily intentions in. I just use it in the am and don't bother going back to it at all during the day.

Soon a couple weeks went by and I tried a new angle. I began to write my intention as if it already happened. I wrote it in the morning as if I was writing it at the end of the day. This was slightly more difficult and took 3-4 minutes. Why longer?
I tried to write down how I would feel about accomplishing my intention for the day.
Sometimes I had to think about it.

The purpose of doing it this way is to add some emotion to the intention. I've read that the more senses you can include, the more successful it would be.

It's too early to tell if it works. The good news is, even at 3-4 minutes in the morning, I can still find time to write my intention. I'll let you know how it works out.
