An Intentional Year: A Guidebook and Planner

As we stand on the threshold of one calendar year to the next, the threshold is both an invitation and a doorway. The threshold offers us space to reflect, recalibrate and concentrate our attention and intention on the life we constantly choose to step into.To support us I have a designed as a resource for helping us create intentional lives, year by year, day by day, one elegant step after another. In times of challenge it will help us surmount our fears, doubts or obstacles with discernment and tact. In time of uncertainty, it will align us to clarity. In times of loneliness it will help connect us back to what matters most in our lives and the wider landscape of life, beauty and connection which is integrally and often invisibly woven into the fabric of our days.This guide is intended as a map to you own inner guidance; as a place you will be able tap into your wisdom and find your way back to yourself whenever you need direction throughout the year.Resolutions v’s IntentionsIt is so tempting at the beginning of the year to be harsh with ourselves- reprimanding ourselves for our failings or our misgivings. We resolve to create new habits but often set unrealistic goals for ourselves. While on the surface some of these goals may seem lofty (fitness goals in particular) often they are driven by fear and feelings of not feeling worthy, loved, good enough or successful enough. By week three when things generally start to wane, we are spun into a cycle of regret and feelings of failure, and so we resolve again to do better while beating ourselves with the reprimanding stick. Ouch!Which is where INTENTION comes in.Intention differs from goals or resolutions in that it hooks us up to the highest innate possibility within ourselves. It does not condemn our faults, it has no grievances with us, it does not resolve to ‘fix’ us or ‘heal’ us. Instead it recognises that we are already whole, beautiful, and sacred. Intentionality brings us back consistently to the remembrance of our intimate and intrinsic wholeness.
