163. The Power of Intentions in Motherhood

As moms, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life, feeling overwhelmed by everything on our to-do lists.  And whether we realize it or not, we are setting goals for ourselves every single day, such as: -Get my to-do list done -Be more present -Get everyone where they need to be on time But what if there was a way to approach your to-do list and goals with more joy, love, and purpose? What if there was a way to make it all feel EASIER? In this episode, we’re diving into the difference between setting goals and setting intentions, and why both are essential for creating the experience you truly want. You’ll learn how to decide on purpose how you want to feel and show up as you work toward your goals, whether it’s tackling a full schedule, getting that promotion, or simply being present in the moment during the holidays. I walk you through a powerful exercise that will completely change how you see tasks, goals, and all the motherhood responsibilities.  ————— Questions referenced in episode: On the top of a piece of paper, write down your “goal”. Then answer the following questions: Why is this “goal” meaningful to you?  What do you want your experience to be like along the way? What are some intentional thoughts and feelings would you want to be thinking (and feeling) on purpose to help you create that experience? What types of actions or inactions would you be taking if you were living by these intentions? How might setting your intentions impact your “goal” overall?
