10 Great Intentions for Life
On August 5, 2012 in

Diane Sieg
What I didn’t realize initially was how challenging creating your intention statement can be. We spend so much time focused on what we don’t have, didn’t get, and don’t want, we sometimes forget what we really do want!
Creating your intention statement requires some thought. Where I your life do you want to shift, change, or give more focus to?
• Always state your intention in the affirmative, as if it is already happening.
• Keep your statement quite broad, to not limit yourself, but the area in your life specific, to keep you focused.
• Start with I and then an active verb, such as I enjoy, I am, I love, I experience, I attract.
Here is a top 10 list of the most popular intentions from my clients:
• I am healthy.
• I attract the perfect partner.
• I take great care of myself.
• I enjoy exotic travel.
• I love my job.
• I connect with my spouse on a deeper level.
• I manage my finances with ease and grace.
• I exceed my quarterly goals.
• I surround myself with beauty.
• I attract money easily and effortlessly in my life.
When you create a statement that reflects your deepest intention and focus on it every day, you start to live with your intention. Living with intention means living on purpose—living consciously, living awake instead of asleep, living with the big picture in mind, with meaningful activity and consciously choosing your direction, personally and professionally.

5 Secrets to Living a Balanced Life
Having a balanced life can be a key for success. Keeping things in balance can lead to a stress free life, peace of mind and having a good life. We all have a manner of responsibility, and keeping these in balance with things that we enjoy doing can be hard. However, if things get off balance, stress can occur, as well as emotional or even physical health issues. Here’s our top secrets to maintaining a balanced life. Take care of yourself If you’re not healthy and living an unhealthy lifestyle, you’ll find it hard to get everything done. The first step to living a balanced life is to get enough sleep, eat nutritious food and exercise. You can’t function as an adult while not getting enough of these things. As well as taking care of your physical health, take some time to look after yourself mentally too - try to find time for activities you love, and help yourself unwind after a stressful day by doing something relaxing. This will put you in a great state of mind to lead a balanced lifestyle.
Ways Yoga Can Improve Your Work-Life Balance
Those who practice yoga often know the importance of balance on the mat, be it balance in the body, balance in tree pose, or balance between the breath and the movements. But not many of us transfer this balance into our day to day lives, especially our work-life balance. Yoga can help us practice so much more than the physical movements and poses. It helps us practice things like our breath, calming our minds, pushes us outside our comfort zone and allows us to grow and self reflect. This self-reflection will ultimately help in maintaining a strong work-life balance, as understanding patterns, strengths and weaknesses are essential in setting the boundaries we need to balance our lives. In layman's terms, a work-life balance is how you maintain the time you dedicate to working vs having fun and living your life. Finding a balance that works for you requires work and self-reflection. There are many ways yoga can help you improve your work-life balance.
Empowering Lifestyle Changes for Optimal Health
It’s easy to envision your ideal life, but much harder to figure out the daily steps it will take to get there. While your optimal existence seems like an end goal, it can be transformed into the entire journey. Empowering yourself to make lifestyle changes can give you the health and wellness boosts you’re looking for, permeating into all aspects of your life. Learn how to holistically change your life by focusing on bettering your lifestyle in key ways.
