Releasing Attachment - Part 2

Last week we began this idea of how we can release attachment and yet, remain focused on our goal.  Remember.  Intention is the gentle movement of energy into what you want.  It sets your focus while providing flexibility.

With certainty, if you do not specify what you want, it is difficult to get it.  If you offer no energy into the process of creation, you likely will end up with unrealized desires.  If you hold on so tightly to the outcome, you may just end up missing the opportunity to have it.

Intentions allow you to consciously direct the flow of energy into the process of creating what you while remaining open to the outcome.  By "flow of energy", what I mean is all the behind the scene activities that happen; activation of your RAS (Reticular Activating System), Activitation of the Law of Attraction, unconscious alignment of your values and so forth.

Some of the best known authors of time management and empowerment advise making a brief list of what you are going to do today.  This is setting intention.  People world-wide use a practice of setting intention first thing in the morning.  They report that it sets the tone for the day and makes them more productive.

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to get a journal or pad of paper and each morning write the following line;

"Today I intend..."

And make a list of 3 to 5 things that you intend to happen just for today.  Maybe it is specific, "I intend to complete one more paragraph in my book."  Maybe it is somewhat less specific, "I intend to be open and receptive to the good in my life."  As you right that intention, imagine what the successful outcome of your intention would look like.  Imagine how you will feel when it happens.

Commit to this brief exercise for one month.  Pay attention to how the universe conspires in your favor with a little intention.
