\\u201cWhere attention goes, energy flows\\u201d
\\nThe first time I heard this statement, it really grabbed me.
\\nAs you know, the very basis of mindfulness practices is paying attention.
\\nAnd when we set any kind of intention at all, we are paying attention to that intention we set for ourselves.
\\nThe very instant we do this, we are automatically grounded in the present moment.
\\nIntention is a conscious action. And when we practice setting intentions in our lives, it is, by definition, a mindfulness practice.
\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, I talk more about how this works and I also tell a wonderful story about someone who set an intention of inclusion and friendship and it naturally and organically came to be:
\\nThis is because when we set an intention, we are paying attention to it. And where attention goes, energy flows.
\\nTry it for the next week or so: before you get out of bed in the morning, set an intention for the day ahead.
\\nIt can be anything at all!
