Intentions don’t work, resolutions do!
As the year comes to a close, we attended Subba’s last monthly retreat as a part of the Best Life Journey program. After having made resolutions for decades and not having the best track record of staying completely true to them for the complete year, I was looking for something else. Resolutions have always seemed more like tough love to me. I was looking for something that comes more naturally and is more heartfelt.
And Subba’s last Grow Wisdom retreat of the year brought just that! He guided guided through a 3 step process:
Resetting our Roles:
We carry a dozens or more roles, throughout the year. In the first meditation sitting, we were guided on how to let go of each bit by bit, layer by layer. What remained was our true self and a blank slate to work on. We then were slowly guided to add roles and set intentions for self, life and work on how we envision 2023 to be like. The metaphor stark - writing on a clean slate vs overwriting on an already messy one.
Reconnecting with the core:
With an empty mind, and a blank slate- we were really true to ourselves in the journalling that followed. Keeping the connection of joy, peace and love with our being, we wrote across pillars of Self, Life and Work intentions. As to what would be the impact, on whom and why is that intention important. Vivid vision and words just flowed after the powerful sitting.
And then came the money moment! - when we brought into our awareness our fears across these three pillars.
Power Up:
The next meditation practice involved elevating our fears and metamorphosising them into strength and a higher power. We elevated them through a very powerful chakra meditation.
This whole powerful process made me feel as if I watched a cloudy sky being slowly cleared to leave a shin blue one beaming sunlight and hope for 2023.
For the first time, I felt like I created my goals with clear and deep intentions and not just a knee-jerk resolution setting. Intentions that were created on a clear whiteboard with how I truly want to drive my life and without any external clutter. I am excited to see how this year pans out!
