Summer, you have arrived!
I particularly enjoy the warmer months of the year for obvious reasons. But also because I get cold easily if the temperature is not 72 degrees or more.
A few weeks ago, I posted about my Summer Equinox intentions and wanting to share them. As always, my journal housed several notes on areas that needed focus; health, self-care, creativity, dating/social life.
Setting intentions by the season is new, typically I would write a list for the year. Having different or renewed intentions for each season might prove more useful and manageable. I think that each season will allow me to adjust to achieved growth or improvement that needs to be accomplished. Hopefully this will be more effective than typical resolutions written just after the New Year.
Keeping track and maintaining accountability is a process that will be fine-tuned as I go along. Perhaps making updates to share successes and areas that need cultivation.
Below is an abbreviated version of my Summer Equinox Intentions.
Physical Health
- Drink 72 oz of water consistently
