How to move from agony to intention...

Today's blog is from Natalie Ledwell of Mind Movies, a life-change method using state of the art tools.

"What in the world is the difference between an INTENTION and a GOAL?" 

The answer is quite simple (and crucial to your success when it comes to achieving both). 

Let me explain: 

Before you ever set any goals - be it in your finances, business, career, relationships or fitness - you always want to start by setting a clear intention FIRST. 

You see, your intention is really the big overarching "why" behind any goals you set for yourself. 

It's like a long-term vision that you have for your future… an energetic statement that describes what success looks and feels like in that particular area of your life. 

Once you've done that, your next step is to then create clear goals - specific, concrete, measurable milestones that are aligned with your intention. 

When you set goals without first setting a clear intention, here's what can happen: 

- You might set goals that are kind of all over the place, and experience a lack of meaning or direction 

- You may get discouraged or perhaps even give up when the going gets tough, because you don't feel super connected to the future you're trying to create 

- Or you may achieve some results, but not the ones that make you feel truly happy and fulfilled 

But, when you're guided by a clear intention, and you then set goals that are aligned with that intention, all of the forces of the Universe can align to make even the most impossible, possible. 

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE: 

Let’s say that the area of your life that you want to impact is your health… your body… your level of physical fitness. 

Perhaps you want to lose weight and enjoy a more toned, fit body. 

An example of a powerful intention for this area of your life could be: 

I live my life in radiant health, filled with all of the boundless energy and vitality I need to enjoy my life and time with my loved ones to the fullest. 

Can you feel the energy that this intention carries? It's positive, uplifting, empowering and inspiring and it describes the future you want to step into! 

Once you have this clear intention, you'd then create goals that will help you make it a reality. 

For example: To reach a specific target weight by a certain date- To run your first Fun Run by a certain date- To complete a 30-day juice cleanse by a certain date 

(Notice how each goal has "by a certain date" attached to it? Make sure your goals are specific and measurable, so you know exactly what you are shooting for and how close you are to achieving it!) 

Once you have 1) a clear intention and 2) specific measurable goals laid out, your next steps are to: 

3) Visualize yourself achieving your goals on a daily basis (even a few minutes each day is very effective!), and finally to... 

4) Start taking daily actions, no matter how big or small, towards making your goals happen! 

Combine all 4 of these powerful steps and you'll be surprised how quickly you'll be able to create positive, lasting change in any area of life that you choose :) 

Here's to living a life you love,

Pain: the good and the bad

 "That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt." Anon

Pain can be a good thing. Especially if you listen early.


Can you imagine what it would have been like if you had learned to listen to your body's messages (discomfort, pain, "urg") when they were just whispering, and then took the action your body wanted?


Some people might think that they wouldn't get anything done, wouldn't get strong, etc. But it's not true.  Pain can be weakness leaving, as they say in the Marines. Paying attention to the kind of pain and taking appropriate action can be liberating. 


In fact, whenever we are grow anything: muscle or brain, there is pain. It's why we feel achy after a good workout and crabby learning how to use that new software. It literally hurts to grow. This is good pain.

Muscles grow stronger by itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny tears in the fascia to make room for more tissue, then they heal. That's why it's important to rest after a hard workout, and why interval training is so effective. 

The same thing happens to our brain when we literally lift a dendrite off of it's favorite receptor site where it's all snuggled in and ask it to grow and move to a budding, rather off-putting receptor site.

So whatever you're growing, remember to give yourself time to recover. Have some fun. Take a nap. Go for a walk.
Do some sitting arcing. This YouTube tutorial is for recovering from an insult....but "sitting arcing" is a tool for all kinds of recovery.

Would you like to talk about what's possible for you?
