Have you ever observed someone’s behavior and thought to yourself, “Wow! What’s gotten into that person. Why are they so happy or calm? They seem to have it together.”I’m sure you’ve been there at some point in your life. Maybe you were the person others observed, or perhaps you observed someone else. It’s natural to notice others’ patterns, behaviors, actions and reactions to events in life. They say a smile is contagious, which is true.The energy you put out into the world affects those around you.Kelly Barron, a meditation practitioner, teacher, writer and coach spent years developing her meditation practice and skills. This was not only for her own benefit, but for those around her too. Having grown up an athlete and still involved as an aging athlete, she recognized early into her hobby that meditation, exercise and intentional focus were essential to her overall well-being.“Let your daily intentions serve as your guidance,” Kelly said in her interview with Pam. One of the best ways Kelly found to align herself, her thoughts, actions, behaviors and mindfulness is through intentions. Each morning, Kelly dedicates time to focus inward by writing, reading, feeling, seeing and experiencing the life around her. She attunes to those early morning moments. She accepts them and then lets them pass by in preparation for each day.People awake to their journey at different points in their lives.
