ROAD MAP TO LIVE WITH INTENT By Mallika Chopra Through a process of self-discovery and re-discovering a healthy balance in my life, I also developed a road map to live with INTENT: INCUBATE: Quiet your mind to tap into your deepest intentions; see where this leads. NOTICE: Become mindful of your thoughts and actions and pay attention to what they tell you about what gives you meaning and a sense of purpose—and look for signs that can point you toward your truth. TRUST: Have confidence in your inner knowing—and in the messages the universe sends you—and allow that knowledge to guide you forward. EXPRESS: Write down your intentions; say them out loud or share them with others to fully embrace them and help you move ahead in your journey. NURTURE: Be gentle with yourself as you try to find your way. Intention isn’t always a straightforward path, just like life, and giving yourself opportunities to try—and fail—is often part of, and even crucial to, the process. TAKE ACTION: Once you’ve identified an intent, or even multiple ones, don’t sit and wait for it to magically manifest; instead take the practical steps that can make each become a reality. It may be easiest to choose one intent first and set short-term goals to help you get started. - See more at: http://www.mallikachopra.com LLSD  |  7
