Quote of the month: “Change is the only tangible reality.”

Wellness has long been my focus in life, whether it be emotional, spiritual, or physical. Over the years of working with people with their health and fitness, I’ve found that one key ingredient is the key to all well-being–intention. What is your intention? Are you even aware of what you intend each day or do you just get up and do your day? It’s been my observation with my clients that consciously setting your intention each day before you start your day creates a momentum toward that intention. Consciously intending something, is consciously choosing a path in life. Whatever that may be. Do you choose to exercise joy throughout your day no matter what? Do you choose to let go of tension as much as you can remember to do so each day? Do you consciously choose to feed your body food that truly nourishes it? Do you consciously choose to make changes that really honor you? Dr. Wayne Dyer thought so much of the power of intention, that he wrote an entire book on it, called, The Power of Intention . In it he states, “I know that intention is a force that we all have within us. Intention is a field of energy that flows invisibly beyond the reach of our normal, everyday habitual patterns. It’s there even before our actual conception. We have the means to attract this energy to us and experience life in an exciting new way.” If, indeed, intention is a field of energy from which we may draw upon, then it would behoove us to take control of our co-creative powers and co-create that which we would like to see happen in our lives. Last year I was feeling a bit down about the music industry as a whole and realized that I was playing into the idea of negativity. And I was consciously exercising being a victim of sorts. I asked a very successful mentor of mine, who used to be the President of one of the biggest record labels, if he ever felt he was a victim in his life? His response was clear and concise. He said, “No, never. Victims are the people who suffered in the tsunami.” Period. So I changed my tune and became a co-creator of what I intend to happen in my world. That doesn’t mean I always succeed–it means I attempt to consciously remember what I am intending and to keep striving to achieve that. I believe that most people who are successful in whatever they do, are rarely being victims. They are following the path of their intentions. When I get up in the morning, I intend to be grateful for what I have and who is in my life. I intend to exercise positive words throughout my day and to set a time to exercise physically as well. I intend to eat well. And I intend to make strides that will bring me one step closer to my dream for people all over the world to hear and be uplifted by my music. What is your intention each day and, if you aren’t consciously choosing what you are each day, who is choosing for you? Be the best you can be! –Winifred~ |
