Setting Your Own Intention
SUMMARY
Do you just let the year happen, hoping you get closer to where you wanted to be last year at the end of this year? Well, that's what most people do. They spend more time working out where they will go on a weekend away than they do planning their life.
This is all about setting an intention. Intentionality is about doing things on purpose rather than just Groundhog Day.
To have this Intentionality, you need to: Have Clarity and Work on your Limiting Beliefs.
Use the R4 method: Results, Reality, Roadblocks, Resources.
TRANSCRIPT
Do you just let the year happen, hoping you get closer to where you wanted to be last year at the end of this year? Well, that's what most people do.
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, VUCA Leadership and Sustainable Performance Coach, and today I want to continue our conversation around personal leadership by helping you set your own intention.
This is all about setting an intention. Intentionality is about doing things on purpose rather than just Groundhog Day.
To have this intentionality, the first thing that you need is CLARITY. Clarity around where it is that you want to end up. Even more than this, it's about: "Who do you want to become?" Not just: "What do I want to do?"
The second thing you need to do is WORK ON YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS. Work on that identity and take back control over where it is that you are going.
Start the year by setting your intention. Sit down and have a look forward. Use the R4 method:
"At the end of the year, what are the RESULTS that I want to have in those particular areas that are important to me?"
"What's my current REALITY? How does it look different to that right now?"
"What are the ROADBLOCKS? What are the things that are getting in my way?"
"What RESOURCES do I need to add so that I can overcome those roadblocks and get to where I want to go?"
Set your intention; either keep it to yourself or let those who are closest to you know. Your intention becomes your filter for the year.
Set your intention. It's your intention. Instead of letting the world dictate to you where you can end up, you decide where you're going to be. I'll see you then.
