  • Are You Being Intentional?

What is intention? It has become a hot buzz word over the past year and often associated with self-care. Google defines intention as “a thing intended; an aim or plan”… “she was full of good intentions”. In relation to self-care, intention is key because it means that in order to practice good consistent self-care, one must make a plan. The next step is following through on that plan.

To be intentional also means that you have to be mindful and aware of your needs. Often self-care is thought of as spending money and doing something extravagant or expensive for yourself, like taking a vacation or scheduling a spa day for pampering. These things are nice, trust I like to indulge as much as the next person; however, intentional self-care is more than a scheduled momentary event.

When you are being intentional about your self-care it starts the moment you awake and start your day all the way thru to laying your head down at the end of the day. Intentional self-care includes the mind, body, and soul. For some there is a higher need for mental and emotional self-care than physical because the body has a physical reaction to what’s going on in the mind.

We may not think of these things as self-care, but here are a few examples: simply saying “no” sometimes; setting boundaries with family, friends, co-workers, classmates, church members, or team mates; just saying “ok” rather than arguing with someone; taking your lunch break; drinking water instead of a soda; reading a book; praying or meditating … these are just a few examples of intentional self-care that can be done all throughout the day, BUT you must be intentional.

Being intentional does not always come easy because we live in a society that often runs on auto-pilot and is constantly “multi-tasking”, but it’s doable! You just have to set your mind to it and make a commitment to yourself.

Check out our featured blogger below to learn more about being intentional and some not-so-conventional ways to practice self-care.
