Hi, all! How are those New Year's intentions going? If you're like me, then maybe you've already slipped up. Here's the good news: Today is a new day. Today you have the opportunity to reset and recommit to your intentions. Heck, you can even revise or reframe your intentions as needed. 

We hear it all the time in class:  Set your intention for practice . What does this mean? It means calling to mind some purpose, dedication, or offering. Here's my strategy: I don't let myself think about it. I allow the first positive word or phrase that pops into my head to be my  mantra . Maybe that word or phrase ladders up to something much bigger, like a commitment for the new year. Maybe that word or phrase is different than it was the practice before. I'll use the repetition of this  mantra  help me through my physical practice and off the mat into the physical world. 

You don't have to settle on an intention by 12/31 each year and do that thing perfectly every day. The best of intentions take time. It's a practice, after all.

You're doing a good job, 
Alicia
