Today, I have a solo episode for you, 14 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: and we're going through a practice that I personally do 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: most days and I wanted to share it with you 16 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: because I realize I haven't really shared it and it's 17 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: something that has really helped me, really empowered me. It's 18 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: a big reason why I have been so kind of 19 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: focused the last six months. That's how long I've been 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: doing it. So on my Instagram the other day, on 21 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: my story. If you don't follow me, it's just at 22 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: Georgie Stevenson and on my story. I just took a 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: pick in Sunny's. It was at the end of the Monday, 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: and I just like wrote on a productive Monday and 25 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: did a little to do list of what I had 26 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: done that day, which was my weekly intentions, two podcast 27 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: interviews Jim, the podcast, event prep, lunch prep, and that 28 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: was it. And then when I went on my dms 29 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: that night, I had a flood of dms just asking 30 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: me what are weekly intentions and how and why I 31 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: do them? And so I actually did do a post 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: on Instagram explaining it. But oh, guys, and this is 33 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: exactly why I started a podcast, because Instagram captions just 34 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: do not do anything justice and I just felt like 35 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: I could express myself so much better on here and 36 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: really kind of explain myself to you guys to help you, because, 37 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: like I said, I feel like this is a really 38 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: powerful empowering practice that you guys can even just start 39 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: thinking about or include in your everyday routine. So before 40 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: I explain everything today, we are talking about weekly intentions, 41 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: daily intentions, and intentions in general, so questions to think about. 42 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys, I you guys living 43 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: an intentional life, an intentional day. Do you feel clear 44 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: on where you were going and how you were going 45 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: to get there? Do you feel like your days are 46 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: filled with like purpose? So just have a quick think 47 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: about that. But I have been setting weekly intentions for 48 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: like I said, roughly six months now. It's something that 49 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: is just very habit to me now because I do 50 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: it when I'm eating breakfast. And I highly recommend if 51 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: you guys want to incorporate a habit like anything, not 52 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: just this one, attach it to a habit you already 53 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: have that is very routine. So for example, obviously I 54 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: eat breakfast every single day, like I just do. Who 55 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: doesn't really, And so I decided to attach this to 56 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: that routine. So I knew every time that I had breakfast, 57 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: I was writing my intentions. I was going to do 58 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: it when I do like my to do list and 59 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: some other practices I do. But I really kind of 60 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: wanted to keep it separate. So another thing, just like 61 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: as an example of attaching your habit, if you know 62 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: you have to start taking a sort of medication or 63 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: something like that, like put it next to your toothbrush. 64 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: So you know, every time you brush your teeth, you 65 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: also take that medication. That's just a little example, and 66 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: it just makes it easier because we are creatures of 67 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: habit I also have a journal downstairs that's just left 68 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: on the kitchen bench because I kind of do my 69 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: work on the kitchen bench. My office is upstairs, and 70 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: when we first moved in the house, I thought it 71 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: was a great idea to have my office upstairs, and 72 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: I kind of hate it up there. The dogs are 73 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: always in and out of the doggy door, which is downstairs, 74 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I feel very secluded in my 75 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: own house. And so we're actually going to change my office. 76 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: So instead of the spare bedroom downstairs, I'm going to 77 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: put my office downstairs and like swap it. But in 78 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: the midst of doing that, so at the moment, I 79 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: kind of do all my stuff off on the kitchen bench, 80 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: which is not good for my scoliosis, but anyway, I 81 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: will get there, and so I have it sitting on 82 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: the kitchen bench, so it's very easy. Something else I 83 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: also do is for me when I'm having breakfast, you know, 84 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I make sure my phone's on silent, my phone's always online, 85 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: and you know my computers sitting there, but I'm not 86 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: on my computer and I'm having my breakfast, and it's 87 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: kind of just like about setting the environment up so 88 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: you can think really clearly, you can think positively, and 89 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: it can be a nice experience. I'm all about setting 90 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: up your environment so you know, even if you want 91 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: to diffuse some essential oils. I had this really cool 92 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: essential oil called Focus, and I don't know which actual 93 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: essential oils are in there, but it's really good. So 94 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: sometimes like I'll get my diffusia out, put some focus 95 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: in there and just kind of really get me in 96 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: the mood. So on like a Monday or Sunday, carve 97 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: out ten to fifteen minutes to set weekly intentions and 98 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: then each day rewrite them. So basically weekly intentions are 99 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: to refresh your brain on what is important that week, 100 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: what you're focus on, and basically why you have purpose 101 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: that week. Also intentions are focusing on how you want 102 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: to feel. And also I just want to add this 103 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: kind of like no wrong or right way to do this. 104 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: How I write my intentions of obviously very to do 105 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: with how my brain thinks and how I feel. So 106 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: if you kind of are listening to this and you 107 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: want to do this yourself, and you kind of want 108 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: to change anything, and it just feels better one hundred percent. 109 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: Go with your intuition on that. I'm going to do 110 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: a few examples of weekly intentions, but yeah, there's no 111 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: wrong or right way. See what works for you. Like 112 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: I said, the main purpose of this is to get clear, 113 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: to feel focused, to feel like you have purpose, and 114 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: to set feelings for that week. So if you're doing that, 115 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: you're on the right track.

Now 140 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: let's get straight back into the episode with the intentions. 141 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a specific way to do that. 142 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes I write intentions that are kind of more to 143 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: do with like to do tasks, and then sometimes they're 144 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: more around how I want to feel that week. So 145 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: for example, if I've had a really hectic weekend or 146 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: previous week, like you know, my attention might be to 147 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: really kind of calm down and create space. Or if 148 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: I have a really big project on that week, and 149 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: it might do to do with that. It really just depends. 150 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: So just to give you guys a bit of a context, 151 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: I am going to read some examples. Let me just 152 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: get my journal. Oh, I got this beautiful journal from 153 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: one of my best friends for my birthday. It's my 154 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: twenty fifth birthday this weekend, which I'm very excited about. 155 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: But it's beautiful. It's like a Kiki k one and 156 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: it's got my initials on it, and it's leather, but 157 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: it's like soft leather. I'm obsessed. Get yourself a lovely 158 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: journal because you just want to write in it. Okay, 159 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: let's get into it. So I'm just reading off my 160 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: page Monday intentions. Okay, So again, guys, don't judge. These 161 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: are what feels good to me, Like, I love sharing 162 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: this with you. But also I think the biggest thing 163 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: for this is when I write an intention, I attach 164 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: a feeling to that. I love attaching a feeling to 165 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: my intention because that feeling will usually or hopefully put 166 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: you on the vibration that you need to be to 167 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,119 Speaker 1: attract that attention, if that makes sense. So I personally 168 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: always attach a feeling to my intention, so it will 169 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: make more sense as I give you guys examples. So 170 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: this is a couple of my attentions that I will 171 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: read out. I am not going to let my negative 172 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: thoughts hold me back. I feel positive and happy. That 173 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: one was because a previous week I was just in 174 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: this really negative mindset, and so I really wanted every 175 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: single day to kind of shift into a positive mindset 176 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: and to feel happy and positive. So that's why that's 177 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: a feeling, and then that's the intention. Another example, I'm 178 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: going to keep my mind open and willing for positive change. 179 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: I feel enlightened. That one personally was I think I've 180 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: said this to you guys before, but I am currently 181 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: seeing a psychologist at the moment and it's just for 182 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: my exiety and we're working through a lot of stuff, 183 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: and she's actually explained to me that when I don't 184 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: like to hear things, I tend to go straight to 185 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: denial and I don't accept truth even though it is truth. 186 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: So that one was really about keeping my mind opened 187 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: and just kind of not going to that straight denial state, 188 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: which I was doing. So that's a great example. Another one, 189 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: I am worthy of all the amazing opportunities that continuously 190 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: come my way, so I obviously attach the feeling of worthy, 191 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: and that's obviously just about life in general. Another one, 192 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: I give so much value to my community and stand 193 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: for important issues and change. I feel supported and empowered. 194 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: That's actually my intention this week, and which is a 195 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: lot about because I'm doing the live pod cast event. 196 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: Like that's the vibration, and that's like the mindset I 197 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: want to be in. Another one, Eating for my body 198 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: comes naturally and effortlessly. I am more than my body. 199 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: I am whole just the way I am. So that's 200 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: one that I will often write in there if I 201 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: am having any like body issues. Another one, I am 202 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: fearless and consistent. All my obstacles melt away before me. Okay, 203 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: So as you can see, they are more feeling ones 204 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: where I've set an intention of how I want to feel, 205 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: which I really love to do feeling ones, And often 206 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: I'll do four or five intentions and some will be 207 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: like more to do ones and some will be more 208 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: feeling ones. So for example, are to do ones. Oh, 209 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: here's a good one. So I've written every day I 210 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: will pick five things off my to do list and 211 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: feel in flow as I complete them. The other one 212 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: this is funny. I've written showtime. I'm one hundred percent 213 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: clear and ready for my Love Live podcast this weekend excited. 214 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: So as you can see, guys, these are obviously very 215 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: personal to me and what I'm going for. Some are 216 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: more feeling, some are more to do list, but I 217 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: do always attach that feeling. And you can imagine if 218 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: you are reading that every single day, how much more 219 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: focused and clear and productive you are during that day, 220 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: especially if you are consistent with this. Because I guess 221 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: the reason why I do this is because if you 222 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: think about it, you think of it right now a 223 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: time of when you've wanted a new car, like you know, 224 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: let's say it's a certain I remember when I wanted 225 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: my current car. I saw it everywhere, like literally, the 226 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: specific model, the specific color. I saw it everywhere, and 227 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, literally everyone has this car. 228 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: But really it's just your brain being more focused because 229 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: you have told yourself it's something you want. So really 230 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: being focused and aware is the first step to manifesting, 231 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: attracting or like getting your goals, whatever you want to 232 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: call it. So really it's about creating these intentions. So 233 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: when you start your day. Throughout your day, your brain 234 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: is looking for these things. It's focusing on these things, 235 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: and it's attracting them more than you would have if 236 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: you didn't. Also, really great example, I actually did a 237 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: podcast with an an amazing lady called Stephanie Kwong, and 238 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: she's actually a hypnotherapist, and we were talking about focus 239 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: and intention. I think we were more talking about manifesting. 240 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: It was a different subject, but I think it same 241 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: thing applies here. So I want you to do this 242 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: little practice with me. So whatever you're doing, stop or 243 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: don't stop if you're driving, but I guess try and 244 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: be a so try and be aware currently what's around you. 245 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: For me, there's a fridge, there's my clock, and I 246 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: have got an infuser going so I can see the 247 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: little steam thing coming out the mist. So I want 248 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: you to do the same, think of what's around you. Cool. Now, 249 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: I guess this is only really applies to people who 250 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: are like sitting or like not moving, but most of 251 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: you will be either sitting in the car, sitting on 252 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: the chair, like standing on flat ground. And so now 253 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: think about whatever you are sitting or standing on. So 254 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting on this stool, it is a 255 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: hard wooden stool, and I can feel it under my 256 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: butt now that I'm thinking of it now, I guarantee 257 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: ten seconds ago, when you were looking around and being 258 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: aware of your surroundings, you did not have one thought 259 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: about the feeling of that stool being that stool it's me, 260 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: whether it's like the stool you're sitting on, the chair, 261 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: the car seat, anything. I guarantee you did not think 262 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: about that, like you weren't even aware of that feeling. 263 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: And that's because I remember she was saying, our brain 264 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: has sixty to eighty thousand thoughts per day, so no 265 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: wonder why we feel so overwhelmed and stressed. But we 266 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: have a lot of thoughts per day. But it has 267 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: been like scientifically proven that we can only focus on 268 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: eight to nine things at once. So this is just 269 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: like a really great example of bringing these intentions into focus. 270 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: And this is just about leading an intentional life. So 271 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: by doing this more webslee focusing on how we want 272 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: to feel and what we want, which then we are 273 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: attracting that to us, which personally, guys, I don't know 274 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: about you, but I want to be living an intentional life. 275 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: I am creating my own reality. I am making the 276 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: decisions I want. That's personally how I want to live 277 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: my life. I don't know about you guys, So yeah, 278 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: that's just a little practice I do. I hope this 279 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: was helpful. I hope I explained it more like I said, 280 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: no right or wrong way. I hope, if anything, you 281 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: just get a little bit out of this and maybe 282 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: explore doing a similar practice.
