Intentions, Plans, and Actions
You know what your intentions are, but you have no plan. Think about and focus on how you want to feel. You can create results based on how you want to feel. You have complete power and control over your thoughts, so choose them for the better.
Of course you’re not always going to have perfect and positive thoughts, but the truth is that you need to change your thoughts if they’re constantly negative to feel the way you want to feel and accomplish what you want to accomplish. For you to make a plan and take action, you need to have your best mindset first.
Practice affirmations that serve and benefit you, meditate, ask yourself questions, and write it all down. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
What do I want to feel like?
What would I accomplish if I could not mess up?
What do I need to do for results that I want?
How do I want this new year to be different than the last?
What do I want to do more of this new year?
What do I want to do less of this new year?
What did I feel this year?
What did I learn this year?
Would I make some of the same decisions again that I’ve made this year?
What decisions will I make this new year?
As you can see, a lot of those questions are about this year. It’s super important to think about this whole year as it ends and as you go into the new year. Doing this brings clarity, and it makes your wants extra clear for the new year.
Once you know exactly how you want to feel and what you want, you can create a plan to support that. After you have a plan, you need to figure out the steps to take that will move you forward and progress with actions.
The key is to always use self-discipline and to stay consistent. The only way you get worthwhile and desired results is if you stay consistent. It’s what you do every day that matters, so make it your best intentional foundation to build the healthy vegan life you want to improve.
“Your thoughts create feelings, which create actions, which produce results. Always.”
