If you saw my email yesterday you know that I was busy doing all of the full moon intention setting rituals last night.
It was awesome but it really got me thinking….
Everything I did last night felt magical AF but I wasn’t doing anything special.
In fact, a lot of the tasks I was doing were just normal cleaning chores that I do every week.
It made me really think about how powerful setting intentions are and how we can make any task sacred if we decide to.
Last night I cleaned the kitchen but I set the intention for that to symbolize releasing and letting go. I made a list of everything I was ready to release and then cleaned the crap out of the house. I listened to music. I sang songs. I channeled joy. I made tasks I usually do while checked out and in a rush one of the best parts of my week.
The entire experience felt really magical and special but it only felt that way because I set the intention to have a magical night last night.
It feels like everyone is talking about the importance of self-care these days. However most of these conversations consist of the tasks you should be doing for self-care. The problem is that if you’re taking care of yourself but you’re not being intentional with your mindset I think you’re missing out on a lot of the benefits.
It doesn’t matter how many gratitude pages or bubble baths you take if you’re not feeling the feelings of thankfulness and relaxation in your body.
- Intention can change everything…
- Washing the dishes can be relaxing.
- Your morning commute can be sacred.
- Your shower in the evening can be a ritual.
- Drinking your morning tea can be magical.
- If you set the intention
- If you decide.
