Setting monthly intentions is something I’ve been doing for a little less than a year now. I like being able to come back to the intentions I set for that specific month to recenter myself! These intentions are always realistic & attainable. They’re a state of being, rather than a state doing. See my May Intentions post here to get a glimpse into what setting intentions means to me.
A movement for progression is in place. People are hurting, people are healing, people are learning – approach every situation with an open heart, an open mind, & with love. We are experiencing the biggest civil rights movement in history. This isn’t about politics or religion, it’s a humanitarian issue. There is only one race – the HUMAN race. There’s a lot of hate in the world & I think leading with love is what people need. Black Lives Matter & it’s time to prove that.
I read a powerful caption on Instagram that really resonated with me, which made me want to include this in my June Intentions because of how connected I felt to it.
“The relationship you have with the core of your being is all that matters. If there is peace inside, there will be peace outside. If there is presence inside, there will be presence outside. If there is love inside, there will be love outside. Nothing you are in search for will complete you or make you feel happy or satisfied until you are connected to your soul.” – Kenzie Burke
When I wrote my June Intentions, it was at the beginning of June. At the time I had less than a month before I turned 25. So I knew I wanted to take it all in. I wanted to be present in my present moment, to live in the moment, & to love in the moment. A simple truth? We’ll never have today again, so make it count.
There will be a lot of times when I won’t be able to do exactly what I want but still take whatever time I have to live for me. Do the things that fuel my soul, spark my passion, & fill me with happiness. Take on the habit of not using social media to waste time. But instead, read write, listen intently, create content, meditate, focus on me & bettering myself. Continue to work towards being who I want to be.
I hope you’re spending the official start of summer the best way you know how! I might have spent this morning at the pool, which is the best way I know how to spend the official start of summer.
