This month’s mood is Intention.

Happy New Year everyone! Cheers to a new decade filled with endless possibilities and the ability to change your life completely. I am über excited for this year and was recently inspired by the sermon my pastor gave on NYE where he encouraged us to start looking at life with a decade mentality. As I am now in my late 20’s this spoke to me deeply, he explained that when people look back over history they generally speak in decades, not specific years. When you do this your accomplishments hit differently, as I was reflecting on the past decade it forced me to reach in the back of my mind and remember things that happened over the course of 10 years versus just the past few. Doing this really put things in perspective for me, one thing I noticed is that although I had hardships the past decade was triumphant, I was 16 in 2010 and what I have been able to accomplish from then to now is commendable. Sometimes we lose focus of our own reality but keeping a decade mentality can alleviate the year to year pressures of setting goals and leveling up.

So this month, I am in a spirit of intention. I am thinking of what I would like the next 10 years to look like and making goals intentionally that will get me there. Planning your life with intention is great because you begin to develop an expectancy of the things you wish to happen. This year is less about what I can accomplish by the end of 2020 but more about how I can set myself up to achieve my overall goals for the next decade.

How do you plan on starting off 2020 in preparation for your decade of success? Let’s discuss in the comments!
