The Writing on Sand
Do you remember writing your name in the sand at the beach, only to watch the waves wash it away? I used to do that many times when I was at the beach as a young girl. Each time it felt like life was offering me something new, wiping away pain and past mistakes.
But today, let's visit those grand fresh-start intentions we set for ourselves.
How many of us come up with well-intended goals we set without space to sustain them, only to see them fade like words written on sand, washed away by the tides of daily life?
Instead of letting goals drift away, let’s implement practical strategies to help you stay committed and anchored.
Anchoring Your Fresh-Start Intentions:
Here are a few simple ways to anchor them.
Infuse your Purpose: Don’t just jot it down—ask yourself why it matters and let that sense of purpose inspire your actions every day.
Write down doable steps: Break your intention into bite-sized tasks you can tackle weekly.
Check in with yourself: Schedule brief, regular reviews—your morning coffee can be a 5‑minute intention check.
Celebrate you: Finished one task? Celebrate it—your consistency is worth honoring.
Practice Self-Compassion: If you stumble, remember to be kind to yourself. Every effort counts and helps you stay motivated on your path.
Your intentions matter. Your dreams are worth every effort. Let us anchor them deeply—so they hold fast, even when the waves roll in.
What’s one intention that already matters to you — and could be held more gently this week through all the ebbs and flows?
