live. now. will. be.

now (source)

so forget about:

the what ifs

the buts

the maybes

the shoulds

and the shouldn’ts

will (source)

replace them with:

I want

I envision

I create

I achieve

I will.

what are you going to be about today, this week, this year?

Today, I’m going to be about productivity, communication and follow-through. This week I’m going to be about having fun at work, and being present. This year I’m going to be about creating the life we’ve been dreaming of for the past 2 years, continuing to work for an incredible company, and loving everyone.

Oh friend, we are SO on the same wavelength this week!! I love the concept of just being, just doing, just living. So simple in theory, but to live that way takes a little bit more intention, doesn’t it? Love this post!

I love this – I have been feeling sort of antsy and unfocused this week, but maybe I am just trying to hard to focus and if I let up a little, the focus would come more naturally. that will be my focus for the rest of the week and beyond!

love this! I know I tend to over-think, and I’ve been setting the intention everyday to cast my fears aside and just be the kind of person I want to be! powerful in the center of my own life. :)

And I AM! That is my favorite way to voice my intentions… I am seeing the upward spiral in my life. I am a conduit of good will. That one was from another friend yesterday, and it resonated so well with me. :)

you’re so welcome! I write them with the intention to share my thoughts, but also as a reminder to myself to live life the way I really want to – setting intentions for me day and “practicing what I preach” – :)

ah! thanks for the “meditational moment,” dorry. this comes at just the right time of my day.
“if it is important to you, you will find a way.” -> THIS is EXACTLY the realization i had when i was summarizing my “11 in ’11″ goals – totally. of the 11 goals, i did not achieve them all. but i see that the ones i DID accomplish were really the most important to me.
today: i am going to focus on the blessings in my life.
this week: i am going to have fun at the job i love
this year: i am going to keep pushing my boundaries.
thanks, dorry! all the best to YOU today, this week, this year!!

I love that you had that realization! It helps when you’re setting new goals to look back and see what matters most to you. That’s what is important! As usual, I love that we both love our jobs so much. They really are fun! I sometimes forget and then we bust out into a full-on dance party and I’m reminded just how much we have…all while wearing comfortable athletic clothing. ;)
