Setting Intentions for 2020

09 Jan Setting Intentions for 2020

Happy New Year to all. Just set my 2020 intentions. I’ve done this for many years now and almost always in a warm place. This time I am in Barbados with my dear friends. I’ve been amazed how many of my intentions have led to real changes in my life and work. I call them INTENTIONS not GOALS for a reason. Intentions are directional rather than goals, which are narrow.

My first intention is a desire to be more generous in 2020. I don’t know all the ways I can be more that way but day to day I will discover them.

My next intention is a desire to be even more kind to my partner, Janice. I will develop this intention mindful that goals can limit while intentions expand in limitless ways, so I can follow my heart.

Another intention is to spend more time with people who are really trying to shift humanity to a thriving future.

Many people set New Year’s Resolutions but here is the problem: the average resolution is broken within 24 hours. Intentions are more alive.

My process is simple for making intentions and living them. Every day this year I will read my intentions in the morning. Once a week I will visit them longer to see how I did and generate ideas for the week ahead. Once a month, I will have a longer honest sit down and a few areas to focus for the month ahead.

So what are your intentions for 2020 and your process for staying on it?

Blessed new year to all!
