Great article that Fiona shared with me today 🙏🏻🙌🏻

If you've identified a few key values, now its time to live in accordance with them. To learn how to really live your values see the link below:

Identifying your personal core values is one thing, but really living your values is a powerful way to lead an intentional life. Living your values brings more stability and authenticity to your life, because you know who you are and what you stand for (or won’t stand for).

Happy New Year Everyone!

This week we're talking about setting intentions rather than goals.

Clear intention helps you make decisions and direct your attention effectively. Your intention is the authentic why behind your goals. What it is you truly want. Setting a goal is most helpful when it is a specific and doable action that arises from our intentions.

I really found this article helpful for helping me contemplate more deeply on the intentions I'd like to set this year. Have a read and I look forward to discussing this topic with you all in class this week.

The interruption of daily routines during this time of COVID-19 provides a rare perspective that may encourage you to examine and rearrange your life.
