How to Set Powerful Intentions

Intentions. When we hear of the word intention, we often associate it in the context of a relationship or with actions that will affect others. In this context however, setting intentions is similar to setting a desire or goal and deciding within the mind and aligning the energy- thoughts, feelings and beliefs to reach the goal or desired outcome.

When conducted with a pure heart at the basis, one can’t go wrong. It helps one to focus, and sets a positive compass for the day. Live in the moment, let each day unfold and bring what it brings, however decide the tone and end goal for the day at the start of each. How that goal comes to be, well the world is abundant.Many people have mentioned the power of setting intentions, including the sweet soul, singer and musician Alicia Keys. She writes an intention at the start of each day and finds this to be a very powerful process. The mind is capable of miracles and we underestimate it’s power. Decide and the mind will bring about the results. Less work for you, it’s perfect. I tested this on Thursday, and my intention came true. I set the intention to meet a stranger, who can help provide me with a possible route that I hadn’t previously considered with my creative writing, and together we have a pleasant exchange. Did this happen? Hell yes!! When I wrote the intention, I wasn’t anxious or searching, I believed it was true and it will happen, and something drew to me to speak to the guy with the laptop and ask him questions which led to his sound advice. Magic.

We can all do this, but in order to do this successfully we must know how to do this. So what are the ways in which we can set powerful intentions?

Get clear on and know what you want, intentions have to be aligned with our goals

Clarity is important. So is being specific. Intentions could be milestones for achieving the overall goal. For example, you wish to become a freelance writer. ” I intend today to see freelance writers that inspire me, or advice on where to start. Thank you, it feels wonderful. I now have many people to look up to as inspiration and many starting points”.

Focus on what you want and live in the end of the wish fulfilled

Think about how it will feel to receive the intention, this is basically focusing the energy to lead you to the result you desire. Thoughts are the seed, and feelings and commitment to the feeling that is linked to the the wish fulfilled is the creation process

Believe in your own power

If you don’t believe it can happen, and that you have sown the seed so to speak by confidently writing it out, it won’t happen.

Feel grateful that you have set the intention and are now receptive to receiving what you desire

Gratitude puts one in a receptive and positive frame of mind and consequently, you will see opportunities everywhere.

Finally, keep an open mind and eye for opportunities that come your way that represent your intention and desire

Act upon circumstances that appear and present themselves to you that you are magnetically drawn towards- more often than not, they will be the ripples created from your intention that will lead you to you desired outcome.
