"New Years" is right around the corner... this may be a perfect opportunity to set intention for the year ahead.
You can start by setting intention for the month of January.
So many possibilites. What old habit do you want to let go of or diminish? What skill do you want to refine or polish? What attitude do you want more or less of? What energy do you want to support? Can you address that every day for 31 days?
I have some great ideas for myself. I think I might even start today.
You may want to find a way to be accountable. I like to keep a journal, however you can also just mark it on a calendar. This helps you to follow your progress and keeps your intention alive.
Happy New Year.

Setting Intention
We have been "setting intention" these past few weeks together. I am always surprised at how effective it can be to connect with an intention. It is like putting on a different pair of glasses. Suddenly your perspective shifts and you get a new shape to your day, activity or practice. Of course this takes practice and the more you do it the more it becomes like a natural response.
What I find often is that setting intention bumps up against old habits, old ways of seeing and reacting.
One of my sisters used to say..."just give your head a shake". Setting intention helps to shake things up and lead us to more purposeful thoughts and actions.
GIVE IT A TRY.

Holiday De-stressor Classes
Our 3 week session of yoga for the holidays has begun. We are focusing on" how to set intention".
Setting intention is a skill that can keep us centered, focused and create meaning in our everyday
activities and interactions... It can keep unwanted thoughts and reactions at bay and make our days more purposeful.
You can set intention for the day or even just for the moment. You can set intention as you write cards, hostess a party, buy gifts, grocery shop etc. It is a practice of awareness.
Each week we are setting intention as we begin our yoga practice together. Everyone sets their own intention.... a little gift to yourself.
