How did you do last week? Many of you wrote to me sharing your intentions. I anticipate that those of you who took the ‘desire nothing challenge’ did really well. Whether you took the challenge, did really well, or feel there is room for improvement, this week you will have another opportunity.

With holidays approaching, many, many people have all sorts of wants, needs and desires. Some may wish to have a different career; some may wish to have a functional family void of tension and pressure, or just a family to love. Whatever your desires, intend to make a positive difference in your life and the life of someone else. You will see the magic unfold right before your eyes as you begin to activate your intentions.

I support you all the way. I’ve even made it easier for you by outlining ways to activate your intensions below.

I.N.T.E.N.D.

I- Initiate. Initiate the first step and reach out to a loved one, a friend, or even someone who has made a positive impression on you. Give them a call, visit them or send them an email as a last resort. Let them know how thankful you are to have them in your life. Now, I am sure you have heard or read this type of suggestion before. Make it count, and take it one step further: do it this time. A small act of kindness can produce great results all around.

N- Notice. Notice the privilege you do have and be grateful for it. We desire more in life: More money, more time, more access, and more opportunities. Notice all that you already have within your grasp. Chances are, you are not taking full advantage of what it is. Believe it or not, if you are reading this, you, my friend are privileged!

T- Tell. Tell someone you can trust. There is no need to wear your burdens on your shoulders, or attempt to figure EVERYTHING out on your own. If you do not have someone trustworthy to speak with, consider seeking professional assistance. You can use Blacknj.com or VisionManifest.com as a resource. Remember, you are a part of an online community, and you are not alone.

E- Examine. Examine what you have an excess of and give it away to someone else in need. Yup! I said it, get rid of your clutter. Make room for new and great things to show up.

N- News. News, good or bad, can affect your state of mind. Just for today, I would like to encourage you not to watch the evening news. Do something else productive with your time and notice how you feel. I promise you will not miss a thing. If it is important, someone will call you.

D- Decide Decide that your life is worth you bringing the best of YOU to it. As Paul Robeson once said, “Nothing can withstand a focused [made up] mind.”

Okay, now here is the challenge. I encourage you to not just read these words but also use these ideas to your advantage. Today, this moment, is the only one promised. Intend it and act now.

Email me at Natasha@visionmanifest.com and let me know if this made a difference for you. Until next week…. Stay linked to your intentions and make them work for you.
