November signals that time when we all start to cozy up. We put on our sweaters. We pull out our favorite family recipes. We settle in for winter and the beginning of a new year. But before we dive right in, we want to celebrate the start of another month in 2016! We want to enter November with the same intention and purpose that launched us into January. And how?
- We want to take an opportunity to review our intentions for 2016.
Was this the year you wanted to lose weight or reprioritize your schedule? How are those things going? Maybe you’ve been knocking it out of the park. If so, great! If not, it’s not too late. Maybe you don’t even remember what your intent was? Been there. As we’ve been settling practical intents every day, we hope you’ve found resources to help you with your own goals and dreams. We hope you start by reconnecting and reaffirming your intent if it’s slipped out of focus. In the last two months of 2016, we have plenty of time to accomplish amazing things with the love and support of friends, family and our Intent community!
- Now is a great time to make adjustments!
Don’t coast into the finish line. Are you needing a break? That’s a good thing to notice and put into action. Perhaps you’re intent has already been fulfilled. This means you could be on auto-pilot right now or waiting for January to start thinking about your next big intent but right now is a great time to get started or at least get thinking. It feels natural to wait for a big milestone to make a move (like the beginning of the year, for example) but we want to get in the habit of staying mindful of the opportunity in every day. No need to wait, and more importantly, no time to check out of our own momentum.
- Find something to get excited about.
If you’ve found yourself checking out, it may be time to jumpstart that brain and energy with something new. Whether it’s a workshop, a book, a new series or even a new restaurant, find something to get those creative juices flowing. Set a date for a trip that will require planning and research. Schedule coffee with someone you’ve been meaning to sit down with. It matters less about how large or small the task and more about reminding you to stay engaged and healthy about what’s happening in your everyday life. And don’t think that this means you need to start something active and requiring tons of energy. You might be getting excited about some downtime. It might be an exciting time to clear your calendar and spend your nights in if you’ve spent many an evening running here, there and everywhere. So what are you excited about?
So how will you enter this month?
Are you proud of where you are?
If yes, how can you continue moving forward toward your big goals?
If not, what needs to happen to get you back on track?
We’re excited to finish 2016 proud and strong together!
