Today, I want to talk about intention, not just because it’s a word we hear everywhere, but because I’ve come to believe it truly shapes everything, how we live, how we love, and how we lead.
It’s easy to say we’re setting intentions, but true intention is deeper than a checklist or affirmation. It’s the quiet decision to align your energy with how you wish your life to feel.
Each morning, after I write in my gratitude journal, I open my personal journal and take a few moments to meditate. It’s in that stillness that I set my intention, not for perfection, but for presence.
Because where energy flows, life follows.
And I’ve learned that the way we begin our day, or our week, has a way of blending into everything we create, our work, our relationships, and the way we show up for others.
The Power of Beginning with Awareness
When we approach the week with intention, we give meaning to movement. Instead of rushing into the noise of tasks and deadlines, we create space for grace, a pause that helps us move through the week with clarity rather than urgency.
This is something I’ve carried into my creative and professional life. In planning and event design, intention is what transforms a beautiful celebration into an unforgettable experience. It’s what ensures that every element, from the scent in the air to the softness of candlelight, feels aligned with the couple’s story.
The same principle applies to life. When we approach our days with awareness, we begin to see beauty in the in-between moments, the pauses, the transitions, the quiet gestures of care.
Creating Your Own Rhythm
If you’re unsure where to begin, start small. Before checking your phone or opening your email, ask yourself how you want the day to feel. Calm? Creative? Focused? Choose one word and let it guide your actions.
This simple ritual has the power to shift not just your mood but your entire energy. It brings you back to yourself before the world asks for anything.
So today, I invite you to pause.
Ask yourself how you want this week to feel, and let that intention become the tone for everything that unfolds.
🤍 Begin your week the way you wish your life to feel, intentional, elegant, and at ease.
