One Easy Step to Change! - By Liane Fitzpatrick

Sometimes we don't have the money to hire a coach or go to a therapist for support. Some of us don't have many friends or family but a deep desire to change our life....to step out of the chaos. Change can happen, and all it takes is a few moments with yourself. You can learn to do this in a few moments and learn to positively change your life!

Affirmations, Intentions and Goals

Affirmations: positive, result-orientated statements written in the present tense.

Example: I am now in a loving relationship.

Intentions: positive statements written in the present tense that inspire you to create and complete proactive behaviors.

Example: I am now loving in all my relationships.

Goals: Goals support an intention. They are also flexible, because they can be changed, altered, or adjusted. They are things you do, actions you take. Goals can be created for specific situations. The more varied your goals, the more you are able to practice your intention in any situation.

Example: Make small talk with one stranger a day. Have a party at my home and ask my friends to invite their friends. Join the local social dance club. Smile at five attractive men a day. Pamper myself with a pedicure.

The homework of this exercise is to: Live with Intention

How can your desires be turned into affirmations, intentions and broken down into goals? Think of a result you want in a specific area of your life. Now claim you have achieved it by stating it in the present.
Your affirmation:

Convert your affirmation into an intention by shifting the focus from a completed task to something you can practice.

Your intention:

Goals support your intention. List a minimum of 10 goals that would support your intention.

Phase Two:

Examine a difficult area in your life. What if you sought the solution by establishing an intention first and constructing goals to support that intention?

How would your life be different if you lived by your intention?

Establish an intention that represents what you want in all of your relationships. Live your intention all week. Be aware of how you feel when you let your intention guide you and be aware of any resistance you create for yourself when your intention conflicts with your natural reaction.

Evaluate each day by using only your intention. If you use your intention as your only measuring stick you will be shocked at how uncluttered and simple interactions with others will become.

Remember when using you intention to guide you in all of your relationships to allow it to guide the relationship you have with yourself.

Live Your Best Life,
