One of the things I love most about intentions is that they embrace the messiness of life. As a recovering perfectionist, I've always struggled with the idea that things need to be "just right" before I can be happy. Intentions have helped me to let go of that unrealistic expectation and appreciate the journey, even when things don't go according to plan. It's like you said – intentions are various shades of gray, just like life itself.
The new moon is always powerful. My horoscope is predicting a big positive change. I was about to enroll in a very expensive course to facilitate that change but as I read your post, I realised I can make that magic happen myself. I don't need to buy that magic pill. Thanks a heap for this article.
Great read, Dr Louise. And what fun seeing my Mama Peggy and me mentioned and quoted! Thank you so much.
So much to share. Some time after The Secret was published, the author said it doesn't work for some because the editors cut out parts about taking defined action.
From my perspective, setting an intention is primary in succeeding, and then taking action puts legs on the intention.
I have a great poker story about intending that I'll soon share.
You are so welcome! Thank you for those great quotable phrases! Somehow, I'm not surprised that the editors cut out parts about taking defined action from The Secret....
You're welcome, Dr Louise! My Mama Peggy was the wisest person I've ever known, and whenever I wonder, I ask quietly to myself, "What would Mama Peggy do?" Then, I shut up and listened
That poker story around setting an intention is a the top of my list. Many thanks for the confirmation 🥰

Oh, I love how you put that, Alex! Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences with intentions.
Well howdy, recovering perfectionist! I'm still crafting the Evict the Perfection Witch MindShift Exercise, but it is just not right yet 🤣
Hahaha!

You're right, Neera! When in doubt, I remind myself to "Stop buying sh*t! Shut up and write more !!"
You're so welcome, Neera! I'm very excited that my article inadvertently helped you save a lot of money, that's really cool!
