Today I was in a position where something happened right before
I had massages to do that evoked a lot of anger in me. I have learned from
experience that if I bring my own emotion into a massage session then the
person I am working on will be less likely to have a good experience. I try
very hard to leave all my stuff outside of work but I just didn’t think I was
going to be capable of that today so I prayed and set an intent that the person
would be protected from my anger and would have a good experience. Before
leaving the office she said she felt like a new person. Just what I was hoping
would happen!
I have learned that what I focus my mind on sets the tone
for me and those directly influenced by me. If all I can think about is my
anger then I feel bad and the people around me may feel off. If I focus on my
blessings then I feel happy and those around me feel uplifted. It really helps
me if I set an intention for what I want in a situation. If I am doing a
massage I like to set an intention that the person being worked on will feel
unconditional love and healing light. If I am going to church I like to set an
intention that I will be open to God’s messages for me. If I am in a yoga class I
like to set an intention of being grounded and balanced. Consciously choosing
an intention before doing something can completely change a situation.
Most of the time we go about our day without making
conscious intentions. We just float by allowing whatever happens to determine
what we feel. When I go about life like this I feel very out of control and
chaotic. When I set intentions then I feel like I have some control in my life
and end the day feeling much more satisfied with how things went.
What are you consciously intending?
