What’s Your Intention?
Becoming More Of You is about being aware that you have choices.
One of the most powerful choices available to you at all times of day and in all situations is that of intention.
Intention is a conscious choice. Your intention fuels how you are, how you do things and the end result. It can shape the outcome of a conversation, effect how you make others feel, determine whether you have a good or a bad day, make meetings more productive and make what seem like far off dreams quickly become a reality.
Most people have at least a couple of intentions in any one day; I’m going to stop for a coffee on the way into work, I’m going to finish that report, I’m going to have curry for tea.
So imagine if you bring more intention to your life and work, not only what you’re going to ‘do’ but how you’re going to ‘be’ while you do it?
Start making choices about your intention and you will become more of you. You will begin to bring out more of your values, relieve anxiety and saboteurs and have a greater chance of a success.
Set Your Intention.
Instead of thinking what you are going to do or say in the interview….
…think about how you intend to approach or prepare for your interview. How do you want to be in your interview? What feelings do you intend to leave the interviewers with?
It’s your choice, what’s your intention?
Instead of accepting the state of tiredness in the morning…
…choose how you wish to feel in the day and what your intend to feel at the end of the day.
It’s your choice. What’s your intention?
Instead of dreading a difficult conversation and wondering what to ‘do’ or ‘say’.. …set your intention for how you want to be in that conversation, what is important to you during the conversation? What is important to you at the end of the conversation?
It’s your choice. What’s your intention?
The impact
Quite simply you get to live in a way you want to live.
See The Intention Of Others, Look Beyond Their Words
Seeing and experiencing the power of intention is one thing, seeing the intention of others is a big step to great relationships and effective communication.
Just like you are able to choose your intention at any time of day and in any situation, you can also choose to see the intention of others. That means looking behind what they are saying, going behind the words and spotting what their intention is behind their behaviour or words.
