What is Your Intention for 2008?

So like most individuals the pressure of society builds towards New Years Eve as the internal buzz of the question- "what will be my new years resolution(s) this year?"
In past years I have dreaded this question leading up to New Years Day. Always thinking what will I resolve this year and why even bother...they are so hard to keep anyways! They last a few weeks, if you are lucky months, and then my mind is on something else I want to do or dedicate more time to.

I decided this year I would create an intention, instead of a resolution. I liked the positive feeling when saying "intention", as in I intend to do something, but if something happens and I decide to let that intention go for whatever reason that that is okay and I am not a bad person for doing so.

So I will share with you that this year I created an intention that I believe will make my life a little easier and more enjoyable. On the personal side- I intend to spend more time on doing things that I enjoy that do not involve my work or business. On the business side- I also intend to create more short term goals that encompass the vision and mission I have created allowing me the opportunity to be creative and see projects from start to finish in a more timely manner. What this really means is FOCUS, DIRECTION, one area at a time!

Now it is your turn...what is your intention for 2008? Remember to take small steps that will enable you to feel empowered and allow your spirit to soar. Does it really matter if your family has take out tonight so you can make your favourite yoga class!?! Don't sweat the small stuff, and take time out to enjoy the things you haven't in the past!
