Intention Setting 

Each morning as you begin your day, reflect on how you might want to show up as you encounter others. What sort of energy and attitude do you want to bring? This is helpful in professional and personal contexts (work-life). Think of one word or phrase that best captures your intention for your day and write it down. Reflect on this as you move through your day. 

Start your day with this short guided morning meditation.  In under 10 minutes, calmly set your intention for the day ahead. Setting an intention for your day first thing in the morning is a practice that can set you on a mindful path to make choices that align with what is most important to you and lead to more ease and less unnecessary suffering in your life.
