Are intentions better than resolutions?

First, a reminder that reflection is crucial to goal (intention) setting, If you missed my December 2024 post on that topic read it here. 

Now, to answer the question … Yes! I feel Many of us set resolutions impulsively, only to forget their resolution and later feel crummy for not achieving it.
I invite you to try intention setting this year. 

Creating intentions helps provides direction, motivation, and clarity.

In Beyond Positive Thinking by Dr. Robert Anthony, he writes that intentions should be specific, personal, positive, and trigger feeling. For example, "It is my intention to learn French so I can enjoy conversations with the locals during my trip to Paris this Summer."

A favorite tradition for visualizing intentions is to create a vision board a powerful tools consisting of collaged imagery, words, and quotes related to your intentions. Use this collage to meditate daily or reflect on occasionally or even absorb passively into your subconscious. 

Either route, setting intentions for things you would like to achieve, experience, learn, or transform in 2025 will give you a sense of purpose. It will help you stay inspired and motivated. When we have direction and clarity, we are able to achieve more easily.
