Throughout this course, I will provide you with an opportunity to participate in simple mindfulness practices. Why is mindfulness important? Well, it allows you to disconnect from to-do lists, conversations you had, or whatever is taking up space in your brain or energy from your body, and just tap into what is happening in the present moment. By doing this, you give yourself space to acknowledge what is going on internally so that you can move forward with intention.
An intention is a guiding principle for how you want to go about achieving your goal. It is an idea or a state of mind that you would like to align yourself with, allowing that mindset to help guide you through the choices of your day.
It’s how you want to “show up.” When we state our intentions and dedicate a little time each day to thinking about them, our minds and bodies start to subconsciously make decisions aligned with our intention, even though we may not realize it. This is called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is how our nervous systems produce and create feelings, thoughts, and behaviors through a process of structural and functional change. How? Every time we think a thought and generate a feeling, we install neurological hardware that impacts our well-being in all moments.
Exercise: Ground in the present moment before beginning your journey through this course. This simple guided meditation will get you connected with your intention for this journey.
