There is a substantial benefit when you are clear about either your intention or outcome over the next few minutes to hours or even the whole day. This sets the tone for what you are about to experience. By being more pro active in your decision about what you want to experience - then you are likely to attract that experience - if only by the simple ability to focus on what you want. Our experience in life is generated by what we choose to focus on and any of the filters that modulates our perception of the experience.
If my intention is to have a productive, learning and effortless experience - I shall be looking for these elements and as I do indeed find them, I will feel much more on purpose and fulfilled. It is always our choice as to what we focus on - even in the most dire circumstances. As a habit, we discuss this in the book 52 week success plan - also available on Amazon.
The following are excellent resources that we have chosen for you.
