Intentions for Growth

Intentions: Setting your intention for a yoga practice is simple bringing your attention to a quality that you would like to emulate for your time on – and off – the mat. That quality could be gratitude, strength, awareness of breath – whatever you want to cultivate. Not to be confused with affirmations, intention is a mental state that represents a commitment to carrying out an action or actions in the future. Intention involves mental activities such as planning and forethought. An affirmation is a declaration that something is true. For an affirmation to be effective, it needs to be present tense, positive, personal and specific.

I won't be afraid to try new or difficult things.

I intend to do my best today to achieve my goals.

I will face all my challenges today with a calm mind and conviction.

I will do my best to lead by example.

I will control what I can control.

With warmth and love,

Kara
