The Power of Intention 🎯 

It wasn't very long ago that I wasn't familiar with the daily habit of setting intentions. How is that even possible?

Now, setting an intention has become such a normal part of my day that I ask my children on the way to school what their intentions are for the day. Sometimes their answers are profound. Other times I get, “Extra recess,” or “Scoring touchdowns.” Either way, I know the work is sinking in, deep into their subconscious.

When they get out of the car, I say, “Expect miracles today. I sure do. And I expect to hear all about them!”

My role is to normalize this for my children. What if they grew up believing that miracles were possible? What if they believed from a very young age that they were worthy of good things, that possibility was everywhere, and that they had a role in creating the lives they desire?

Those intentions drive your day.

So, what exactly is an intention?

In my definition, an intention is a command to the universe about where I want my attention and energy to flow.

It is the GPS for my day. It is a declaration of what I am available for and what I am choosing to notice. It is a way of telling myself, my energy, and my team in spirit where I want us to focus.

For example, today's intention is to provide me with experiences that allow me to fully embody this new version of me, MJK.

I also ask for anything that no longer serves me to come to the surface and reveal itself so that I can welcome it, learn from it, and release it.

My intentions often revolve around my growth because of the phase of life I am currently in. But they don't always have to be deep or transformational.

I have set intentions to laugh a lot throughout the day. I have set intentions to have more fun. I have even set intentions to find unexpected money.

Your intention can be whatever feels meaningful to you.

The point is to declare it.

Your day is going to happen with or without an intention. The question is whether you want to be more intentional about where you are directing your attention and energy.

I like being in the driver's seat, steering toward what I desire rather than simply reacting to whatever the day puts in front of me.

And there is actually a neurological piece to this that I find fascinating.

Our brains are constantly taking in far more information than we can consciously process. The reticular activating system, or RAS, plays a role in filtering information and determining what gets our attention. When you set an intention, you are essentially giving your brain a direction about what to notice.

Think about buying a new car. Suddenly, you start seeing that exact car everywhere.

The cars were always there. You simply weren't paying attention to them.

That is part of the power of intention.

When you declare what you are looking for, you become more likely to notice opportunities, experiences, people, ideas, and evidence that align with that focus.

This is powerful.

So set your intention NOW.

Don't wait until next Monday. Don't wait until the beginning of the month. Don't wait until you feel ready.

Declare it.

Show yourself that you are serious about what you desire and that you are the kind of person who takes action now.

Then pay attention.

What shows up?

What do you notice?

What opportunities suddenly seem to appear?

What feels different?

And most importantly, what action are you inspired to take?

Set the intention. Expect the miracle. Then get ready to participate in creating it.
