Values-based Intentions

We are now 4 months into the year 2022. It is not too late to reflect on your intentions for the year. In this article, the word ‘intentions’ is used as the meaning of this word goes deeper than the word, ‘resolutions’. Intentions are goals that with intended actions. Resolutions tend to focus on things we do not want to do or things we want to avoid (e.g. eating less junk food) and on the final outcome (e.g. losing weight). On the other hand, intentions are part of the process and journey to move towards what we desire. In setting intentions, we commit to taking small daily steps. Intentions reflect specific goals instead of broad and generic goals.
