MY HAPPY ME {com}

Oh my gosh… how many times have you set a goal, promised yourself to do (or NOT to do) something, stayed true to your intention for several days and then slipped off? I know, I do this all the time. However this time it’s different… (THAT’S my intention!)

What we need:

Step 1: set your intention, goal

Step 2: choose a support team/person

Step 3: choose a tangible object that will bring you awareness and will help you stay on track with your intention

Step 4: set a date

Now, let’s talk more in detail.

YOUR GOAL:

- What has been bugging you recently? You know that thing that you do, but then you regret doing it? We all have it! You promise yourself stop doing it and you know that you CAN stop, but then you do it again. Identify your intention.

For example for me it’s not to complain and to stay calm and patient with my “wonderful *terrible-2′er.”

{* if you are a parent you know that I am referring to the magical wonders of so-called terrible 2s, but this is a different story}

{Oh, also, those who know me would confirm that I am NOT a complainer, but then it happens somehow …. I will have to write about it in one of my next posts}

Moving along ….

SUPPORT TEAM:

Get your best friend on board, and tell them that you are doing this “intention challenge.” The sole purpose of it for you to stay accountable. It’s easy to cheat on yourself, but when someone else knows about your challenge, then they will keep you accountable. They don’t need to do anything special. Every time you are close to start cheating you will have your best friend judging you (in your head) – that’s what will keep you accountable.

TANGIBLE OBJECT:

Ok, now the fun part! You will have to go shopping! Ok, maybe not. What you need is a little charm or a yoga bracelet (not sure how they are officially called) or a hematite ring (I love those), something symbolic to YOU. Then, have that object always with you. If it’s small enough you can simply hold it in your hand for the ENTIRE day. This will be fun, I promise.  This work like a….well…. charm (!) to keep you IN THE moment. Very often we run on auto pilot and don’t even notice how we get to work, etc. So if your task is to hold that little coin or a charm in your hand all day, you will be forced to stay AWARE of it and since it will be associated with your GOAL/INTENTION, it will automatically bring you back to your intention.

TIMELINE:

You can set this challenge for 21 days. Some people do 30 or 4o days challenges (I prefer 30), so it’s up to you to decide. The longer the challenge the more effective it is.

So, you are all set!

- Write down your intention

- Share it with your friend

- Make it real by finding a little charm that will help you to get through the challenge. Keep the charm with you at all time.s

- Make sure to complete the challenge. If you slip off, which is not a big deal, start over again (repeat until your complete at least 21 day).

Good luck!

Have a fab day, and remember, you become what your thoughts are! Have bright thoughts!
