Resolutions vs Intentions

I believe that every year most of us set out with good intentions and make resolutions.

I have begun to see, for me at least, that there is a very big difference. When I make a resolution, I believe that I put all of the pressure on me to succeed. With all the demands and craziness that life has to offer...I fail.

Therefore, this year, I am putting out my intentions. I am asking for help. I know from past experience I cannot do it alone. God knows I've tried year after year.

By putting my intentions out into the universe, I can relax. The pressure is no longer on me.. Don't get me wrong, I know that I still have to do my part, but I have help now. My own personal assistants, if you will, whenever and wherever I need them. Most importantly, get this.....they're free! They are just waiting to help. Remember what I wrote previously about "Matter doesn't matter"? Well I think I should take my own advice on this one.

Also, when we make resolutions I think that maybe we are limiting ourselves. Just maybe if we put it out there and allow ourselves to be open, maybe we will receive something even better than we could ever possibly imagine for ourselves. Wouldn't that just be the coolest thing?

So here we go. This year these are my intentions......
For my physical body to heal. For it to become healthy, happy and feel beautiful.
To truly know both peace of mind and spirit.
To be gentler, kinder to people around me, especially myself.
To become a better, open channel for spirit to communicate through me in order to serve others.
To personally know, feel and show wisdom and grace.

So now it's out there. Out for the whole universe to see. Such anticipation. Such wonder.
