Just after the new year I heard someone on the radio saying a good exercise to start the New Year is to write out lists of your positive intentions for the upcoming year. I think of intentions as being different from goals in that intentions are LESS specific than goals. If goals are fish, intentions are the ocean they swim in. I've found if I consciously choose to go through a day with the INTENTION of being more positive, without specifying how exactly I'm going to do it, I can be open to spontaneous ways of reaching my goals I might not have been conscious of when I started. In the interview, they said to approach your life as a "more of this, less of that" process, so I thought it might be interesting to try.
I've created two worksheets below for you to use. When I was using these sheets in my journal, I left a blank page beside the worksheet and extended my contemplation of intentions into a visual exercise as well. I'll post my finished journal pages for you in my next post. Here are your worksheets:
Again, cut along the dotted lines to make the pages fit our class journals, and the stuff below the line is optional for you to save and use elsewhere in your journal.
