Learn How to Set “Wealth Intentions” By Patti Smith Turn broken resolutions into active intentions… What are Wealth Intentions, you may ask? Well, here are several intentions for you to consider to help you create the life you want to live and to do the things you want to do: 1) I intend to create my personal and business (if that applies to you) Emergency Funds and make regular contributions to them monthly or from every pay cheque – the frequency of contributions doesn’t matter so long as you make them! Sprout Into Your Potential By Dr. Pete Douros, ND & Effie Mitskopoulos, MSW, RSW What is smaller than a grain of rice and holds the potential to create and sustain life? Something that can sprout into a towering tree and live for thousands of years? Mother Nature has provided us the gift of seeds, which are abundant with living energy and vitality. In order for nature’s magic to happen, a seed needs a supportive environment to grow and flourish. Given the right conditions its potential energy is unlocked and it buds and blossoms into something powerful! 2) I intend to set up a pre-authorized deduction of at least 10% of my net pay into a TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account) or RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) – if you don’t already have one or both of these, get them set up as soon as possible. Similarly, we are like the seed. We have so much potential energy and vitality within us that’s waiting to be unlocked so we can grow and flourish. Each person’s journey to sprout into their best state of health has many dimensions and potential paths. Allow us to help guide you in figuring out your wellness goals, make a plan of your journey, and assist you on your journey to increased vitality. 3) I intend to create a realistic debt repayment plan to eliminate my consumer debt as soon as possible – if you’re unsure how to do this, start by listing all your debts and the interest you are currently paying on your outstanding balances. There are many other things you can do in this category, but this is your essential first step. In a supportive, compassionate and comfortable environment explore your physical, mental-emotional and spiritual needs and collaborate on treatments that will help you feel better. We offer a wide variety of holistic treatments and healthy lifestyle coaching - from Naturopathic treatments and counseling to yoga, energy work and more. By now, you can see where I am going with this. Are you starting to get some other ideas for your Wealth Intentions? We feel joy in seeing our clients flourish into their full potential and lead healthy and happy lives! Most importantly, phrase them in the present by starting with the phrase, “I intend…”. While “I am” are the two most powerful words you can speak, “I intend” are almost as potent and creates an active mindset to get things done. Find us near Dunlop St. West and Ferndale Dr. in Barrie.
