You’re sending a message to the Universe, to the world and to yourself about… 💡 Who you want to be. 💡 What you wish to contribute. 💡 How you choose to touch the lives of others. Here are some examples: ❤️ I let go of negative patterns and limiting beliefs, and I welcome in a renewed sense of self-love and acceptance. ❤️ I invite in abundance, prosperity, and success into all areas of my life, knowing that I am worthy and deserving of fulfilling things ❤️ I release any fear of vulnerability and open my heart to giving and receiving love in all its forms, knowing that I am deserving of healthy, loving relationships. Instead, of some distant, seemingly unachievable destination, make your powerful intention your new reality. For example, instead of saying, “I want to lose 15 pounds,” say, “I’m going to treat myself to a nutritious lunch because I’m a healthy person and I deserve to feel energetic today.” As you form your intentions, remember these important points: ☀️ Frame your intention in a present tense and positive tone. ☀️ Make your intention adjustable and attainable. ☀️ Be clear and concise. If you would like to light a candle *white candle* for new beginnings, or a *pink candle* for self-love. 🎈 Write your intentions and also include the reason why you want it. 🎈 Create a comfortable setting, indoors or outdoors and spend 30-45 mins on this exercise. 🎈 Visualise your intention and connect with how it feels to have it. Breath in that energy and release it back to the universe. Love & Light
