Week 52 - The Way Forward: Setting Intentions

Week 52 Activity 

THE WAY FORWARD: SETTING INTENTIONS 

An important part of the past few months has been 

exploring and connecting with our intention. We all need to 

have a reason to practice that acts as our guiding star. We 

might not always have it at the forefront of our mind, but 

we know what direction it encourages us to follow. 

What practices have you found helpful (see Checklist below), and what would you like to continue with regularly?





What form would you like your formal practice to take in the future? Be as specific as you can about how frequently you intend to practice, the time and place, and what you intend to do.





To be reviewed on...............................................................................

(Choose a date between three and six weeks ahead when you can review and update your intention.)
