This week’s Contemplations in Color focuses on intention. One step at a time moves us forward, but intention is the compass steering us on our chosen path. Which path do you choose and what are the next steps along the way?
Contemplations on Intention
• Choose a design with enough space to write intentions / goals, such as the bookshelf design to categorize a process and map out an intended experience*.
• Turning your awareness towards yourself in present time, enjoy some cleansing breaths.
• Recognize that when setting intentions and life goals, both the seemingly “small steps” and “large-scale” envisioning are valuable aspects of the journey. For example, under the large-scale umbrella of “optimal physical health and longevity,” are the practical steps along the way: managing stress levels, eating nutritiously, exercise. Furthermore, these goals can also be specified: walk “X” many steps, do one yoga pose a day, eat blueberries on Tuesdays at 8am, wearing your favorite fuzzy slippers, while listening to jazz music.
• In other words, choose some specific goals that align with the broader intentions yet to be realized further down the road. By doing so, you are mapping out your path.
• Equally important, is the ability to recognize that multiple paths lead to the “large-scale” goal on the horizon. If you, or another individual, don’t wear fuzzy slippers, health and longevity may still be realized. Too many details can be paralyzing.
• In this process of setting intentions, allow space for amusement, self-forgiveness, compassion for others. Each day is a new beginning. Ask yourself, “What next step aligns with intentions for physical, mental, emotional, spiritual health and well-being?” Write it down. When accomplished, fill it with color. Big steps or small steps. You are engaging awareness and focusing creativity energy on what is ultimately your unique expression in life. Enjoy!
