    In the first five weeks of the new year, the focus is on setting intentions as part of Winter Well-Being. With the holidays over, individuals are encouraged to resist falling back into the daily grind and instead take time to integrate healthy habits.

    Happy new year! Welcome to 2021
  • 00:00:07
    and to week five of Winter Well-Being.
  • 00:00:10
    Today, we're going to talk about setting intentions.
  • 00:00:13
    The holidays are over and it's back to reality this week.
  • 00:00:18
    Back to work or the home office.
  • 00:00:21
    Back to school for the kids,
  • 00:00:22
    whatever that looks like for you.
  • 00:00:24
    But before you get too sucked into the daily grind,
  • 00:00:27
    take this opportunity to weave in some new healthy habits.
  • 00:00:34
    Setting intentions is backed by research,
  • 00:00:36
    it's very easy to do, and it doesn't take much time at all.
  • 00:00:41
    It's allowing ourselves some time,
  • 00:00:43
    even if it's just a few seconds, to pause what we're doing
  • 00:00:47
    and check in with our body and our minds.
  • 00:00:51
    Here are some definitions.
  • 00:00:52
    An intention is a guiding principle
  • 00:00:55
    for how you want to live.
  • 00:00:57
    It's your purpose and your aim.
  • 00:01:00
    Setting intentions is the act
  • 00:01:02
    of stating how you plan to live out that purpose.
  • 00:01:06
    It's a way of gearing up your neural system,
  • 00:01:09
    so that you're mentally ready to focus,
  • 00:01:12
    to act in a certain way, and to follow through.
  • 00:01:16
    Setting intentions is a way to practice
  • 00:01:18
    the social-emotional skill of self-management,
  • 00:01:22
    and that involves regulating our emotions, our thoughts,
  • 00:01:25
    and our behaviors in the service of our goals and values.
  • 00:01:29
    Now is a good time to make the distinction
  • 00:01:31
    between intentions and goals.
  • 00:01:33
    Goals are where you wanna go, or your destination.
  • 00:01:37
    Your intentions are how you want to be
  • 00:01:40
    or act on your way to your destination.
  • 00:01:43
    It's your guiding principle.
  • 00:01:46
    So I might have a goal today that I wanna exercise
  • 00:01:49
    and I wanna finish that report for work.
  • 00:01:52
    But those aren't my intentions.
  • 00:01:55
    My intentions are how I wanna act, feel, and be,
  • 00:01:59
    while I'm working towards those goals.
  • 00:02:02
    One of the things that's really hard for me
  • 00:02:04
    is to feel like what I'm doing is enough.
  • 00:02:07
    So I'm going to set my intention for today to do my best
  • 00:02:11
    while at the same time showing myself some compassion.
  • 00:02:15
    Now let's talk about you!
  • 00:02:17
    What's your intention for today?
  • 00:02:19
    What's your aim or purpose?
  • 00:02:21
    How do you wanna feel or be?
  • 00:02:23
    Maybe it's also self-compassion.
  • 00:02:25
    Maybe it's balance or kindness or positivity.
  • 00:02:29
    (gentle music)
  • 00:02:32
    Every morning this week, I want you to pause,
  • 00:02:36
    take a deep breath,
  • 00:02:37
    (deep inhale and exhale)
  • 00:02:40
    and dedicate just 20 seconds
  • 00:02:42
    to setting your intention for the day.
  • 00:02:45
    Do it early before you get too far into your to-do list.
  • 00:02:49
    Pick one thing.
  • 00:02:51
    Write it down on a sticky note
  • 00:02:52
    or you can write it in a journal
  • 00:02:54
    or you can just say it out loud.
  • 00:02:56
    You can choose the same thing every day
  • 00:02:58
    or it could be a different intention every day.
  • 00:03:02
    Just make sure that you set a daily intention this week.
  • 00:03:05
    20 seconds, that's all it takes.
  • 00:03:07
    That's all for today.
  • 00:03:09
    I'll leave you with this quote by James Redfield:
  • 00:03:12
    "Where intention goes, energy flows."
  • 00:03:16
    I'll see you next week.
  • 00:03:18
    We're gonna talk about something
  • 00:03:19
    that's really close to my heart,
  • 00:03:21
    and that's making time for joy.
  • 00:03:24
    Thanks for watching.
