Live With Intent

September 4, 2016

When you live with intent, better things happen as a result. Don’t live based on how you’re used to or how you think you should be. Live your life based on how you want to. Live your life based on how you want to affect the world, for the better. 💙

Rather than coming up with big resolutions for the new year (that I usually don’t stick to 🙊), I love setting monthly intentions that hold attainable goals for me to strive for that month. 📅 It’s important to think big picture, but I think it’s more important to prioritize the smaller things that we have to do to create that big picture for ourselves. And these three things are what I have been focusing on the most lately: • Stop overthinking 💭 Quiet my mind in the moment and act how I feel will best serve me right then • Expand my freelance work 📝 I’ve been working on a few different freelance writing projects, but they aren’t in areas I’m passionate about. It helps to make extra 💰 but I want to do it in a way that I enjoy! So I want to broaden the topics I’m writing about & the type of work I spend my time doing • More preparation, less procrastination ⏱ it doesn’t help my anxiety to always be pushing things til the last minute. I need to figure out how to best prepare (no matter what it’s for) so that I can stop overwhelming myself. • • • What are you focused on the most right now? What small steps are you taking to help get you closer to your big picture goal? . . . #january #intentions #newyear

Merry Christmas ❤️🎄I hope you have found peace, love, joy & low pain today wherever you are spending the holidays! 🎅🏼Reminding myself why we celebrate this holiday & am feeling very blessed to have family & friends, near and far, to be thankful for. 👫Sending you all my love & good thoughts today 💕 #merrychristmas

Happy “Christmas Eve” Eve ✨ I haven’t been posting as much as usual, because honestly I had been feeling better than I have in years. I was having days where I went a couple of hours with zero pain. 🙌🏼And understandably so, I got caught up in actually enjoying the low pain days & pain free hours. But then, as my fellow #chronicpainwarriors can relate to, the pain returned with a what felt like a vengeance. 💥It’s been hard to not overthink how or why my pain came back with such force, but I’ve been trying to practice patience and take it one day at a time, just like I always have before 💆🏼‍♀️ . . . #invisibleillness #spoonie #chronicpain

A great reminder that chronic illness is a journey filled with many ups and downs 🎢 If you’re like me and are using several different treatments at one time, your journey becomes a trial and error process of learning which treatment is actually working and how 📊and in that process, your symptoms get worse, get better, or stay the same and it’s usually never predictable. Just keep riding the 🌊 and be kind to yourself along the way 💛 via: @thechrillness #chronicillness #invisibleillness #wednesdaywisdom

Me and my sweet tooth love #nationalcookieday 🍪 Something I’ve noticed over the many years of having migraines, is that my sugar cravings spike right before and right after a migraine attack 📈 how do you deal with these sugar cravings? Have you noticed a linkage between sugar and your migraines/headaches or other conditions? 🍭 📸: @xp3cto . . . #migraine #sugar #invisibleillnessawareness #chronicillness

🎄December Intentions 🎄 Focusing this month on my spiritual mindset and living intentionally day to day. ❄️”Be more present” stop worrying about where I could be or where I will be tomorrow, and start relishing in or accepting whatever moment I’m in right now. 🙇🏼‍♀️ ❄️”Learn something new every day” whether it’s through a podcast, a book, a friend, at work, etc., I want to keep my mind stimulated and pick up new knowledge wherever I can! 📔 ❄️”Ten minutes of meditation or prayer each day” doing so helps me set the tone for the day & helps me get in the right mindset to take on whatever may come at me that day 🙏🏼 ❄️”Foster a giving heart” because this is the season of giving and I want to remember that even when I think I don’t have a lot, there is always someone out there who has less and could use our help. We only get out of this world as much as we give back to it 💛 . . . What are your #intentions for #december?
