Ending a Year of Intentional Thinking

Cairn: A mound of stones built as a memorial.

2012 was my year of intentional thinking. I set intention on a roll by focusing on a different intention each month. If you have followed this path with me, you will know we have improved our lives twelve times over. Here is the year in review:

I Intend…

• January⎯to be positive and erase negative thinking
• February⎯to stimulate my brain and reduce "brain drain"
• March⎯to give myself time by creating space
• April – to unclutter my world and embrace an organized mindset
• May⎯to turn my world upside down while breathing life into the predictable
• June⎯to stretch time by extending the time I enjoy
• July⎯to try something new and dream, explore, discover
• August⎯to create an island of calm by including the very best of summertime
• September⎯to set boundaries and consciously choose
• October⎯to encourage others with a few simple words
• November⎯to drop my leaves by dropping negative habits and mindsets
• December⎯to count my blessings and show my gratitude

* We sometimes forget about where we have been when looking at what we still have not done.

While I end the year of intentional thinking, intentions have become a reliable way of moving forward for me. Intentions are my choice and provide a more balanced approach to my life as I consider where I have been this year. Because there are always going to be those things we still have not done, let us all celebrate where we have been as we look forward to the year ahead.

Cheers!
