As 2020 begins to draw to a close, perhaps you’re already starting to consider what you most want to manifest in 2021.
I know I am. I just love the feeling of “fresh start” and “clean slate” that a brand new year brings.
So, in the spirit of getting a head start with our 2021 intentions, below are three of my best intention setting super tips.
I call these “super” because they’re mindset tips.
Being in the right mindset about intention setting can make all the difference when it comes to easily lasering in on the intentions that you’ll have the most enjoyable and successful time manifesting.
Tip #1: Make the journey as important as the destination.
One of the fastest ways to dampen your manifesting mojo is to set an intention for what you think you can have instead of for what you really want.
Setting intentions that truly light you up is essential for creating enough inspiration and excitement to actually do what it takes to manifest something brand new into reality.
Sometimes though, you may be tempted to settle for less than what you want because of fear of disappointing yourself if it doesn’t manifest.
If you’ve ever felt like this before, you’re not alone.
Before I understood mindset tip #1, this fear of failure and disappointment would sometimes prevent me from even being willing to set new intentions in the first place!
One of the remedies that I’ve found for this is to place more of my focus on the pleasure of the manifesting journey itself.
When we focus on the fun to be had in determining what we truly want, experimenting with the best ways to line up with our desire and witnessing the interesting ways that life responds to our energy shifts, we start becoming as eager about the manifesting journey itself as we are about getting to the final destination!
Interestingly, embracing this mindset actually makes it matter even less exactly what your specific intention is.
Anything that lights you up will work for inspiring the beginning of a fun manifesting journey.
Tip #2: Don’t overcomplicate it.
Piggybacking on the notion that exactly what intention we set is less important than that we choose anything that lights us up…
Tip #2 is all about not overcomplicating your intention setting process.
Don’t worry about selecting the “perfect” intention. You truly can’t get it wrong as long as you pick something that feels good to you.
Here’s a simple rhyme to keep in mind:
If it sounds good to me, it’s meant to be!
Keep your intention process simple by just trusting that whatever sounds best to you truly is best for you.
Besides, as you progress along the manifesting journey, it’s likely that your intention may evolve, morph and change over time. So, no need to worry about getting it “right” on your first attempt because you can always tweak what you’re intending as you move along.
You just need something clear and compelling to get you started.
Tip #3: Remember that true heart’s desires align with the highest good of all.
Sometimes what can prevent successful intention setting is worry about how manifesting what we truly want might affect the people around us.
We may worry that others could judge us about our manifestation, or even be negatively affected in some way if what we really want comes true.
This kind of thinking can definitely take the fun out of intention setting!
The remedy is to simply remind yourself about where your true heart’s desires come from:
The higher self, Source Energy part of you!
That Source Energy part of you is superconscious and therefore has the ability to take the highest good of everyone else (and even the wellbeing of the entire planet) into account.
So, you’d never be inspired to set an intention that would be a mismatch to others’ wellbeing.
In fact, usually it’s the opposite! You deciding to manifest your dreams makes it easier for others to do the same.
I hope that these intention setting tips have helped increase your interest in defining and declaring your desires to the Universe.
Like most manifesting skills, intention setting gets better and better and easier and easier the more that we practice it.
Even though at the beginning of this article I suggested that these tips be applied to 2021 intention setting, there’s truly no need to wait until the calendar flips to a new year.
Any day is a good day to begin a new manifesting journey!
So, why not take a moment today to set a new intention?
Love and Magic,
