I received a very inspirational lesson this week from a yoga teacher who has just begun her journey of inspiring others. I went into the class knowing that she wasn’t as experienced and even hesitated initially at going because I didn’t know what type of class I would be receiving.
What a great decision to step out of the “known” and into something “new”!
So she ended up giving me two lessons.
The first is one I need to be reminded of every so often, and that is to “try something new”. I realize new doesn’t always mean it will be pleasant, but if I don’t take the chance how will I know?
The second was to “Put my attention onto the things I want to see grow and expand in my life”.
The second lesson was extremely inspirational as I started to think about the goals and intentions I have set for myself and how I’d like to see myself achieve them.
I went straight home and wrote the following to myself on a piece of paper:
“What Intentions will Grow Today with your Attention?”
I then drew a tree on that same piece of paper and off from the branches I listed the Intentions I have for myself.
I have posted that piece of paper on my Intention Mirror. The Intention Mirror is in my bathroom. I look at my intentions each day and know I have set standards and goals for my life that I want to be constantly reminded of until I master the practice of them so they become easier for me each day.
Now I have a new way of looking at those same intentions. I think of how I will water them to grow in my life with “attention”!
Where will you put your attention today?
