Whether you think of this in a woo-woo way or a scientifically-based way, intention setting is powerful. You can think of it as calling your highest ideals into being by speaking them to the universe, or you can think of it as bringing your highest ideals to your conscious mind, planting seeds in your own psyche.
It is useful to set intentions even just for a short period -- like a meeting. Intentions can really be anything that you want to align yourself with or aim yourself toward.
Some examples:
- My intention is to be present, bringing my full mind and heart to the important work we are doing.
- My intention for this workshop is to keep my heart open when I get triggered and to be brave about being vulnerable.
- My intention is to do what it takes to break my last personal record of ____________.
