Every morning when I get up I feel like I have
a second chance at life again. I need to have that chance because I tend to forget
all my intentions, promises and commitments and even my own wishes; my heart’s
desires. Perhaps it is my age. My doctor once said, everybody over 50 needs a
notebook in his pocket.J
But it
could be something entirely else. Intentions and so forth all have to do with change. And what can be more
fearful than change. To leave a familiar status quo, even when it’s not working
or is unhealthy, can cause a lot of anxiety and insecurity. We want to change
our ways for the better, but even though we aspire a healthy and spiritual life
we keep falling back to our old habits and behavior patterns. Reading other
peoples blogs and watching their Youtube video has made me aware of the fact
that I ‘m not alone in this. But I think I've found a creative solution for my (our) problem….
Yesterday
evening I've watched a video from MonsoonMagick about a blessing box on her
altar. She puts little pieces of paper in there with blessings she wants to invite
in to her life and intentions she want to manifest. I have transformed this
idea (combined it with my doctors advice) to an intention journal/notebook, not
only for on my altar but to carry it with me where ever I go and to read it whenever
I want to.

| My little intention notebook |
This idea
is right in time for my Samhain resolutions/wishes etc. I am planning to write
in this little book every holiday and new moon. Here I will list my intentions,
my wishes ,my practices and everything I want to commit to. It is also great to revisit en evaluate previous
entries from past holidays and new
moons. Keep in mind that it’s not a journal
but rather a little book with lists and keywords. Like a cheatsheet for
life J
Just before
I've posted this I've pulled a card from The Enchanted Map Oracle Cards and what
do you know; it was “Commitment”: “A true commitment is a responsibility of the
heart mind body and soul. This is a good time to make one.”
You have a very wise doctor! :D I like your idea for an intention journal; writing things down just seems to give more weight to them.
ReplyDeletelet's hope it will help me as much as I expected :)
DeleteSome years ago, it was very useful to me, write a list with affirmations (like Louise Hay way). And I always write my asks for in a paper and put it where I have the Virgin and Saints images. I think the power of your will and your written goals together, will surely help you. Muchas Estrellas!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it will, my head seems like a sieve sometimes. :)
DeleteI like the idea of an intention notebook. I had one I started last year but I kept forgetting about it. Even though I carried it with me in my purse! Head like a sieve, I know what you mean by that!
ReplyDeletehahahahaha!!! I don't call that a sieve anymore, but a whole in a bucket :)
DeleteI hope I won't forget my little book. I am warned now :D
