Create Intentions,
Not Goals for 2016
 
2015 is waning, and you may already be thinking about your New Year's Resolutions and goals. But before you jot them down, stop and think deliberately about the personal commitment behind them. Is there intentionality in your thought process, or are you repeating the same motions as last year? Author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer said, "Our intention creates our reality," and this profound statement holds the key to real transformation. Intention is the force that sets the course for what we desire, what we create, and what we  experience.

So as you approach the holiday season and the new year, ask yourself:
  • What beliefs no longer serve me?
  • What behaviors no longer serve me?
  • How do I want to feel in 2016?
  • What do I want to experience?
  • What do I want to be grateful for?
To read more about how to set yourself up for fulfillment during this seasonal time of reflection, read Plenty's latest blog post.
