I will seek new way of thinking about situations in my life.

Very often we get stuck in our own heads, or in certain ways of thinking. Although these thought patterns are there to help protect us, they can often be exactly what is keeping us back from what we want. Only through new perspectives and ways of thinking can we learn to see things differently, which can show us the opportunities we have been missing because we couldn't see them.

This week when coming to a wall or a difficult situation try to see if you can see things from a different perspective or post on there and ask for someone else's perspective on the situation!

This weeks intentions is: I stand for my beliefs.  The phrase “if you stand for nothing Burr, what will you fall for?” from Hamilton comes to mind with this weeks intention.  The word beliefs covers so much; your religion, your moral compass/code, your boundaries, and more. We must honor all of these by standing up for them.  What is a belief that you are committing to standing up for this week?  I'll go first: This week I will stand up for my time and energy because I believe that we have to take care of ourselves before we can help others. In fact its probably one of my most used sayings. Yet I constantly have people demanding my time and energy but there is only 24 hrs in the day.
