Being Intentional with Your Time

Aug 19

It seems like a lot of people are talking about intentional living these days. But what does it really mean to be intentional? Well in a nutshell it means we are all living on borrowed time and are only allowed so much sand passing through the hourglass, so we should not take the precious moments we are gifted for granted. Instead, we should get more intentional, purposeful and conscious about our days and what we would like to accomplish, manifest and experience in our lives, rather than just going through life on autopilot. You do this by deciding where you want to place your attention, focus and energy each day, instead of just floating downstream wherever the current takes you. You take the driver’s seat, instead of the back seat in the movie script of your life. Intentional living is all about focusing on building your life around your mission and core values and thus living a more congruent, purpose-filled life. So, what’s the payoff for living this way? Living with intention brings energy, power, magic and beauty to our lives. It also adds authenticity, flavor and passion, because whenever we are working towards a meaningful pursuit, taking the time to learn and master a chosen skill and we are living by our values, it adds vitality and purpose to our life experience. Whenever we are intentional with our time, it gives us a sense of inner power, personal strength, direction and meaning. It helps us feel on target, alive and purposeful because we are steering our lives in the direction we want them to go. And this gives us a sense of accomplishment, empowerment and helps us feel aligned and congruent with our higher selves and life missions.

We are not meant to drift along without a rudder in the sea of life, rather we are meant to be purposeful, to have rich, meaningful lives, lives that we create and fashion with our very intentions. So how about you take a few moments and write out a few things you intend to accomplish or bring to life this week. It’s time to get excited about life again. Today is your day to re-claim your life, take back your power and get back to living again. Living without intentions, goals or values is a recipe for an unfulfilled life and is basically a recipe for inviting disaster and chaos. When you love yourself and your life, you start to live it differently. You start to cherish your days, and value every moment this precious life affords you. Sometimes living more intentionally means going against the flow, because the majority of people don’t live this way, so it takes courage, discipline to create and maintain a life of this mode. When you have compelling goals and a compelling vision, it makes it easier to guide and direct your course because you know where you are going. Being Intentional with Your Time is merely being intentional and conscious of where you are placing your energy, focus and intention and focusing on where you want to grow and expand your life. It’s your life, so live it your way… Give more time and energy to what you love, because time is of the essence. Live well intentioned and your life will overflow with joy and enthusiasm. Life is precious so don’t waste the golden moments you are given. Instead, live with more purpose and passion which stems from being more intentional from day-to day.
