Intention-Setting Worksheet
What you think you become. Now is the time to lay your foundation.
Listing your values can help guide intentions. Values are long-term pillars of importance in your life (relationships, career, knowledge, home, etc.) List your values and circle your top 3.
Intentions are heart-driven. They should be positive and present, bringing your heart and mind into alignment.
An important thing to remember is that intentions are not goals. Goals are externally focused: something that you expect or want. Goals are future-oriented, whereas intentions are present and internally focused. With intention-setting:
You state how you intend to feel right now
You put the power of change in your own hands.
You develop the ability to create an immediate shift.
Here’s an example: say your heart craves abundance but your mind is focusing on a missing paycheck. Your intention should emphasize a different way in which you are abundant. Your intention might be: “I am abundant in love and healthy relationships that bring me joy.”
Your mantra is a single word or short phrase that encompasses your values and intention; something that you can easily repeat to yourself in meditation or in the back of your mind.
