Intentions can help us stay positive and focused even when the current moment doesn’t match up with our desires or goals, allowing us to accept what is without giving up our agency to make change. There is a lot in life we can’t control - most things, if we really think about it - but there are very few things we can’t influence either directly or by addressing our perception or approach to the matter.

So, here’s to living with spirit in 2022. And, a little encouragement to choose a word for yourself.
