Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, let’s discuss how to live more intentional. It’s really not that complicated. Once you decide to live a more intentional lifestyle, you need to make necessary lifestyle changes and spend time in self-reflection mode.

Here’s the definition:

INTENTIONAL (adjective): Performed with awareness; done deliberately consciously or on purpose.

Intentional choices are deliberate and purposeful decisions you need to make. You must always be thinking ahead. Being intentional in life causes you to make choices based on your personal values, beliefs and goals.  You must also consider your daily tasks, managing work-life balance, practicing self-care and working toward self-improvement.

In order to live more intentional, you need clear understanding of your:

  • Purpose in life
  • Passions you wish to pursue
  • Prayer time and spiritual growth
  • Actions, thoughts, and words
  • Need to set personal goals
  • Willingness to be kind and practice gratitude toward others
  • Determination and the willingness to become more resilient
  • Commitment to establishing healthy habits and lifestyle

HOW TO LIVE MORE INTENTIONAL

Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others’ choices makes us. – Richie Norton

Intentional living is all about focusing on your purpose and core values. Believe it or not, anyone can choose to live more intentional, but the key to success is understanding what this concept means to you on a personal level. Once you have a clear understanding, then you need to make necessary adjustments within your lifestyle to work toward this end goal.

Here’s a few suggestions that you can include in your lifestyle so you can live more intentional:

  • Set measurable goals – Know your values and set clear SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, timely).
  • Establish a daily routine – Create consistent morning & evening routines.
  • Strengthen your relationships – Establish supportive & accountable relationships.
  • Make a vision board – Have a constant reminder in front of you.
  • Declutter & organize your space – Be organized. Look around you. Clean your space. Does it add value? If it doesn’t, remove it.
  • Don’t waste time – Spend time on what matters most to you.
  • Self–awareness – Examine your behavior, actions should match your core values & priorities.
  • Expressing Gratitude – be grateful, establish a regular gratitude practice.
  • Monitor your health – Be aware of your emotions & state of mind. Are you feeling out of balance or overwhelmed?

SET A DAILY INTENTION

Our intention creates our reality. – Wayne Dyer

Naming your personal values is the foundation of living an intentional life. Any kind of change requires awareness and intentional action on your part. Setting a daily intention each morning is a simple practice in which you bring awareness to your own thoughts and actions. Pause for a moment and decide what you want to experience that day. Then, answer these questions in your journal or notebook:

  • What does an ideal day look like for you?
  • Why are these things important to you?
  • What are some activities that bring you fulfillment?
  • What does these activities have in common?
  • What do you wish you had more of? Less of?
  • How do you want to feel today?
  • How do you want to show up in the world?
  • What kind of energy do you want to attract?

Now, take a moment to examine your responses and commit to set a daily intention for yourself. Your daily intention may be a few words or a sentence. It may serve as a reminder of how you’d like to behave that day and the choices you’d like to make.

Simply complete the following statement in your journal or notebook:

Today I intend to ____________________________.

Examples:

  • Be present in the moment.
  • Focus on feeling good.
  • Be my most authentic self.
  • Spread love and kindness.
  • Be on time.
  • Make healthier food choices.
  • Exercise for at least 30 minutes.

It’s important to recount your intentions at the end of the day. For example, in the evening or before bedtime, replay the ways you contributed to living with purpose and intention. You could do this mentally, but I suggest taking time to write in your journal or notebook to keep track of how much you’re doing things with intention each day.

BENEFITS FROM LIVING MORE INTENTIONAL

If you’re going to grow, you have to be intentional. – Curt Kampmeier

Intentional living means building your life around your core beliefs and values. You don’t have to overhaul your entire life, just choose an area of your life to infuse intentionality into activities you’re already doing and actions you’re already taking. When you make the decision to live more intentional, you will notice many benefits that will improve your mind, body and spirit.

There are benefits for those who choose to live more intentional. You may feel:

  • A sense of empowerment when making future decisions.
  • An improvement with your mental health.
  • Reduced stress levels.
  • An improvement with your focus by removing distractions and clearing your mind.
  • A boost in your resilience.
  • More present, in tune, and capable to complete tasks.
  • Encouraged and optimistic.
  • A need to set healthy boundaries and to protect your energy.
  • Clarity around choices you’re making.
  • A boost in your self-confidence.
  • More enjoyment and pleasure out of life.

I’m hopeful that you’ve read something here that would encourage you to live more intentional. Afterall, an intentional life brings meaning, profound satisfaction, and fulfillment because you’re living in a way that’s true to who you are and your core values.

Renew Inspiration, Seeking Spiritual Alignment Through Affirmations

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Thought to Ponder – Alignment is about finding the feeling inside of the things we want and then deliberately choosing to create those feelings.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written an inspirational blog post and I truly apologize for my absence in this safe space. Unfortunately, I have been struggling with my own mental health and family issues lately which has caused inconsistency with my writing. I’m committed to getting back on track and posting inspirational content to help inspire you to improve your life one word at a time.

Today, let’s talk about how seeking spiritual alignment through affirmations can improve your life. Affirmations are meant to help change the negative thoughts in your head and replace them with positive thoughts that remind you of the truth of who you are. This process often times will move your attention to more empowering ideas that will ultimately create an improved result.

In addition, affirmations can be another form of positive self-talk that can:

  • Help set the tone for your day.
  • Be used to target and improve any area of your life.
  • Help you overcome any negative thinking patterns.
  • Provide a reflection of the kind of life you want to live.
  • Offer ways to improve your mood and emotions.
  • Increase your self-confidence and uplift your spirit.
  • Help you set realistic goals and create a plan to reach them.

DEFINITIONS

Affirmations (noun):

The word affirmation comes from the Latin affirmare, which means “to strengthen and make steady.” Affirmations are positive phrases or statements that we repeat to ourselves. Generally, they are used to manifest goals, dreams, or experiences we desire.

Spiritual Alignment (noun):

Being in tune with our soul’s purpose. We all have a unique reason for being on this Earth. Our actions, thoughts, emotions, and spirit are on the same page. Then, we are moving with ease in a particular direction.

HOW TO SEEK SPIRITUAL ALIGNMENT THROUGH AFFIRMATIONS

Seek to be whole not perfect. – Oprah Winfrey

Spiritual alignment is an important aspect of our lives that allows us to connect with our divine selves and experience a sense of oneness. When we are spiritually aligned, everything in our lives seems to fall into place. We feel happier, more peaceful and more content with what’s going on all around us. Lately, I have found that when used consistently, spiritual alignment can be experienced often through affirmations. If you take the time to seek spiritual alignment through affirmations, you will have the power to transform your life despite what you’re going through or the obstacles you face.

Here’s how you can start this process:

  • Create a list of affirmations that resonate with you and speak to your heart.
  • Begin with 3 to 5 affirmations until you feel more comfortable to add more.
  • Be in a quiet space with no distractions.
  • Take a few deep breaths in and out.
  • Say affirmations confidently and with purpose while looking into a mirror.
  • Repetition is key so repeat the affirmations throughout your day and be consistent.
  • Don’t move on from the affirmations you chose until you honestly feel the words hidden in your heart.

Renew Inspiration, 14 Ways to Establish A Self Care Routine

Self-care is important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel. – Eleanor Brown

Thought to Ponder – Put yourself at the top of your to-do list every day and the rest will fall in line.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! This is a great time of the year to discuss ways to establish a self-care routine that can help improve your health and wellness. So, what is self-care? According to The Self-Care Solution written by Suzy Reading, self-care can be defined as “any life-giving activity that restores, sustains or improves your health.” Similarly, Dr. Marni Amsellem defines self-care as “anything that you do for yourself that feels nourishing.” So, it’s safe to say that self-care is nourishment for your entire soul, mind, body, and spirit. Would you agree?

WHY SELF-CARE IS IMPORTANT

Give yourself the same care and attention that you give to others and watch yourself bloom. – Unknown Author

As we go through life, all of us experience stress on some level one way or another. It’s so important that we have the necessary tools to help promote healing and cultivate clarity in our lives.

Suzy Reading provides 3 reasons why self-care is important:

  • Stress is not going to go away. Stress is a normal part of life. In fact, life would be boring without some stress to keep us on our toes, right?
  • Stress has a cumulative effect. Stress can add up very quickly so make sure to plan for regular pressure releases throughout your day. For example, go for a walk, do a stretch routine or meditate.
  • Too much stress is dangerous. It’s a fact that too much stress makes us ill and greatly diminishes our ability to enjoy life.

Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

HOW DOES SELF-CARE HELP?

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. – Oprah Winfrey

Suzy Reading provides ways that self-care helps us throughout life:

  • Self-care helps you cope with life changing events, such as an illness, the loss of a loved one, depression, parents adjusting to life with a newborn, etc.
  • Self-care helps us recover after experiencing life changing events, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, divorce, etc.
  • Self-care offers us a protective function, forming a buffer against future stress. If you are able to prepare yourself before a life changing event occurs, then do it. For example, schedule a vacation or some peaceful alone time before the birth of a child, the finalization of an adoption, getting married, starting college, or moving into a new home.
  • Self-care helps us to flourish as individuals and to become the best version of themselves. For example, you may be striving to become a better parent, a better spouse, in search of a new career, or preparing for retirement.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with life’s events, prioritize soothing activities and choices that restore balance to your life.

14 WAYS TO ESTABLISH A SELF-CARE ROUTINE

Self-care is how you take your power back. – Lalah Della

Self-care can also help people become the best version of themselves when they learn effective ways to navigate through life. Give yourself permission to take time out for you.

I didn’t give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you. – Unknown Author

Thought to Ponder – Those who think there is a time limit when grieving, have never lost a piece of their heart.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! In case you were wondering, I took a mental health break to gather my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Today, my mother would have been 80 years old, but she passed away in December 2015. This has been a stressful time for me, to say the least. However, I want you to know that I appreciate you and all of the support you give to my writing and blogging platform.

5 STAGES OF GRIEF & LOSS – On Death and Dying written by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Loss and heartache do not define you. They are part of your story. – Unknown Author

Even though there are 5 stages of grief and loss, people who are grieving do not necessarily go through the stages in the same order or experience all of them. The stages of grief and mourning are universal in nature and are experienced by people from all walks of life, across many cultures. Mourning occurs in our lives in response to an individual’s own terminal illness, the loss of a close relationship, or to the death of a valued being, human or animal. While mourning, we spend different lengths of time working through each step and express each stage with different levels of intensity. Here’s the 5 stages of grief and loss as defined by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross:

  • Denial & Isolation – The first reaction is to deny and isolate yourself from the reality of the situation. Most people block out the painful words and hide from the facts. Some people will believe that nothing is of any value any more, not even life itself. For most people, this stage of grief and loss is a temporary response that carries us through the first wave of pain.
  • Anger – As denial and isolation leaves us, reality and its pain re-emerge. Now, the intense emotion people feel turns into anger. The anger may be toward objects, complete strangers, friends or family. Even though deep down inside the person knows this feeling of anger is wrong, they may even be directing it toward dying or deceased loved ones as well.
  • Bargaining – In the next stage, there are feelings of helplessness and vulnerability as a way to regain control through a series of “if only” statements, such as “If only we had sought medical attention sooner” or “If only we got a second opinion from another doctor.” Unfortunately, this is an attempt to bargain with God or our higher power in order to postpone our pain. Guilt often accompanies bargaining as well. The person believes there was something they could have done differently to have helped save their loved ones’ life.
  • Depression – In the next stage, the person may start to be overwhelmed with sadness or regret which turns into worry. This phase may be eased by simple reassurance from others around them. Another phase of depression is when the person is more private and tries to bid a farewell to their loved one in silence. In this case, a hug or a kind gesture will comfort them.
  • Acceptance – Reaching this stage of grieving is a gift not afforded to everyone. Death may be sudden and unexpected, or we may never see beyond our anger or denial. Unfortunately, this phase is marked by withdrawal and calm.

Please keep in mind that everyone grieves differently. There is no right or wrong way. Some people will wear their emotions on their face and be outwardly emotional. Other people will experience their grief more internally and may not cry at all. Remember, do not judge how a person choose to experience grief, as each person will experience it differently.

WAYS TO NURTURE YOUR MIND, BODY & SPIRIT WHILE COPING WITH GRIEF

You must learn to master a new way to think before you can master a new way to be. – Marianne Williamson

Sometimes I wish time would stand still and I don’t have to relive the pain that comes during this time of the year. While everyone else is excited for the holidays, I dread it with everything within me. The holidays are just not the same without my mother physically being here. No amount of journaling or therapy sessions will save you from the emotional turmoil that you experience and continue to feel throughout the grieving process.

Nevertheless, I’ve learned that it’s important to nurture your mind, body and spirit while coping with grief. Here’s a few different ways to help you get started along this journey:

  • Read and study God’s Word.
  • Seek God’s face each day through prayer and guided meditation.
  • Pray a specific prayer for positive change in and around your life.
  • Practice mindfulness and stay in the present.
  • Set personal goals and a plan to achieve them.
  • Fuel your body with healthy food options.
  • Exercise daily and/or try new yoga poses.
  • Change your mental focus and environment.
  • Setup a daily routine using a To-Do List.
  • Focus on gratitude and find what you are grateful for each day.
  • Write in your journal to get your thoughts on to paper and out of your head.
  • Make time for self-reflection. Go for a walk, read, listen to music, meditate or color.

However, if you feel your mental stability is getting worse throughout the grieving process, seek professional help in the form of therapy from a licensed therapist or social worker, medication to treat depression or anxiety, or support groups to help share your feelings with like-minded individuals.

Renew Inspiration, Affirmation 

AFFIRMATIONS TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE LIFE

Affirmations can be used to change your current mindset, boost your self-confidence, mood, and self-esteem. Through the power of repetition, you’re able to reconstruct your thought patterns, beliefs, and ideals in your subconscious mind. I will allow change to take place in my life on today. I plan to water my roots, so my soul can blossom. Now repeat after me:

  • In my sadness, I love myself.
  • It’s okay to take time to grieve.
  • I am patient with my healing process.
  • I allow myself to grieve then move on.
  • I feel my angels holding me today as I grieve.
  • I will embrace change in my life.
  • I will step out on faith throughout my journey.
  • I plan to endure and overcome heartache, pain, suffering, sadness and loneliness.
  • I am finding strength in myself as I grieve.
  • I focus on my blessings, goals and memories.
  • I will commit to improving my personal well-being.
  • I am gentle with myself as I heal.
  • I release my resistance to this situation.
  • I graciously accept help when its offered.
  • The universe lifts me, supports me and guides me.

Unfortunately, many of us struggle to overcome many obstacles in life, such as grief, and don’t understand that the root cause is often times hidden within. Whether you sometimes feel stressed out, anxious, sad or depressed, there’s one important fact that you need to remember. You need to learn that your mind, body and spirit must become ONE in order for you to be at your best. Only then, will you begin to navigate life while coping with grief.

Worrying is a waste of time. It doesn’t change anything; it just clouds your mind and steals your happiness. – Unknown Author

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! If you live your life constantly worrying about things that are out of your control or have anxiety that cause you to stray away from things you love to do, then it’s time to learn how to lessen worry and anxiety for good.

Let’s face it, we all have issues that we worry about, right? Sometimes we’re not even aware of why we’re worrying, when we’re doing it or what we tend to worry about the most. We just know that we often feel anxious and we find ourselves stuck in a vicious cycle of worry. One of the ways to break this vicious cycle is to be aware of the things that trigger these emotions.

Here’s a few questions that you can ask yourself:

  • Do you find yourself worrying or feeling anxious when you’re in certain places?
  • Do you find yourself worrying or feeling anxious during a particular time of the day?
  • Do you find yourself worrying or feeling anxious when you’re around certain people?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you have started the process to identify possible triggers that may cause you to worry or experience anxiety throughout your life.

DEFINITIONS

Anxiety comes from trying too hard to control the future. – Unknown Author

Before we go any further, let’s take a moment to define anxiety and worry. Anxiety can be defined as a feeling that lives inside us and blocks us from fully living the life we want to live. Anxiety has various symptoms that can be felt anywhere in the body, such as tightness in chest, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, headaches, trembling or trouble sleeping. It’s important to note that anxiety can happen at any time and it can influence our thoughts, emotions, actions and physical health.

On the other hand, worry can give way to anxiety or unease. Worry allows one’s mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles surrounding one’s life. Worries are a chain of thoughts based in words. For example, “What will happen if” … “It will be terrible when” … “What if I can’t”. In addition, chronic worry and emotional stress can trigger many health problems, such as fatigue, headaches, inability to concentrate, irritability, muscle aches/tension, nausea, rapid breathing, dry mouth, dizziness, and nervous energy.

Here’s some common causes for anxiety and worry:

  • Stress that can result from work, school, personal relationship
  • Emotional trauma
  • Financial concerns
  • Stress caused by a chronic or serious medical condition
  • A major event or performance
  • Side effect of certain medications
  • Alcohol or drugs consumption
  • Lack of oxygen

As you can see, experiencing worry and anxiety in our lives are natural, but when they become chronic and trapping your mind in vicious cycles with no resolutions, is when they become a problem.

Renew Inspiration, How to Lessen Worry and Anxiety

LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT CAN HELP LESSEN WORRY AND ANXIETY

Stop worrying about what can go wrong, and get excited about what can go right. – Unknown Author

It’s impossible for you to completely eliminate worry and anxiety from your life, but you can significantly lessen its hold over your life. Part of this process is learning when it might show up (triggers) and coming up with a plan to deal with it when it does (solutions).

Here’s some lifestyle changes that can help lessen worry and anxiety in your life:

  • Understand your specific symptoms. What are your thoughts when you worry or when your anxiety escalates? In what situations do your symptoms intensify? Lessen?
  • Know what works for you. Which strategies are helpful in moments when you worry the most or experience high anxiety? Examples could be deep breathing exercises, mindfulness exercises, meditation, journaling or talking with a support person.
  • You can pair deep breathing exercises with aromatherapy using a candle or essential oil diffuser to infuse the air with a calming, relaxing scent such as lavender, rose, bergamot or chamomile.
  • Ground yourself physically in a way that feels comfortable. For example, you may sit in a chair with your feet firmly planted on the floor or you can stand with your feet planted on the floor and your back pressed against a wall.
  • Schedule therapy sessions with a licensed mental health professional. Be open, honest, and willing to express how you truly feel.
  • Find a support group in your area or online to help you gain another perspective on your anxiety. Face your fears and don’t be afraid to share your experiences. Listen to others and give/receive feedback.
  • Spend some time regularly doing meditation, mindfulness exercises or yoga along with deep breathing exercises.
  • Write down your thoughts and feelings in your journal or notebook. Then, reflect on them throughout your journey.
  • Visit your local library and check out some books on worry and anxiety.

Finally, it’s important to get a clear understanding of what your triggers are and establish healthy ways to respond to them. Live in the moment and begin to divert your attention from the thoughts inside your head to what you’re doing in the present. Like any change you pursue in life, remember that it takes time to change your way of thinking and feeling. Be patient with yourself while you lessen worry and anxiety in your life.

SCRIPTURE

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s Welcome Autumn in with a life changing discussion centered around journaling for life’s purpose. When I think of autumn, I think of seasons changing right before my eyes.

Soon after, the weather will become much cooler and we will see sunlight less and less each day. During this time, it’s important to grab your journal to capture every moment.

So, how can the seasons changing relate to journaling for life’s purpose? Well, for one, our lives are constantly changing just like the seasons.

  • What is my purpose for journaling in this season of my life?
  • How would journaling benefit me right now in this very moment?

Once you begin the process of journaling for life’s purpose, you’ll become wiser, more enlightened, and will notice a better version of yourself.

This process will help you be consistent with your creative flow and explore many possibilities that exist within your environment.

  • What gives you inspiration on any given day?
  • How do you spark your creativity throughout your journey?
  • What helps you open up the flow of creativity in your life?

#7 Schedule Time for Self-Reflection

Pouring your inner thoughts and feelings out in your journal is a form of self-reflection. You may choose to look back at your journal entries and think about how you’ve changed as a person. Self-reflection can also result in mental clarity and allows writers to reconnect within.

  • What is your greatest quest in life?
  • What is your vision for your life in the next 3 years?
  • What advice do you need to give to yourself right now in this very moment?

Journal writing is a positive way to express gratitude in your life. It is important to start every day with an attitude of gratitude. Whether it is big or small, find at least one thing to express gratitude about every day.

  • What are you grateful for today?
  • What do you value or appreciate?
  • Who has helped you in life?

Now, close your eyes and clear your mind. Be honest with yourself and be willing to feel the words within your soul. If you allow yourself to escape for a moment, you may free yourself from emotional bondage. After a few writing sessions, you will find it easier to process your internal feelings and emotions easier.

How to Embrace the Renewal Process Within

Renewal and restoration are not luxuries, they are essentials. – Chuck Swindoll

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I pray that your week has been filled with love, peace, joy, and happiness. Today, I want to focus on an important topic – How to Embrace the Renewal Process Within. I encourage you to have your journal or a notebook and something to write with.

Now, tell me what is your breaking point? When do you just STOP and take a rest? When do you say “No” to others because you already have too much on your agenda? Believe it or not, most people do not acknowledge when they are overwhelmed and tired. Most of us just keep going and going until we are exhausted and burned out. This is not a healthy choice at all.

Let’s begin to embrace the renewal process by answering a few questions:

  • What do I want or need in my life right now in this very moment?
  • Are my actions guided by love or fear? faith or worry? courage or doubt?
  • Will this action bring peace or inner turmoil in my life?

When you take time to answer questions related to your life honestly, you will find out what’s important enough for you to pursue and what to ignore.

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

Renewal is what happens when you realize that some of this stuff you’ve been carrying around doesn’t matter. – Rob Bell

Next, I want you to begin using positive affirmations every day to help renew your mind, body, and spirit. Positive affirmations will help you to attract more positivity in your life and transform your thoughts. It’s important to repeat the following positive affirmations daily until they are hidden in your heart.

Here’s a few positive affirmations to help you get started:

  • I am beautifully made.
  • I am filled with gratitude.
  • I am worthy of great things.
  • I am confident and empowered.
  • I am surrounded by love.
  • I am learning and growing.
  • I am in charge of my own self-worth.

ADVANTAGES IN LIFE

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances. – Maya Angelou

As we go through life, it is important to realize when it is time for our renewal process to occur. Allowing time for renewal offers one so many advantages in life.  For example, a person who chooses to embrace the renewal process may experience:

  • Personal growth and expansion from the inside out.
  • A fresh start to something that will be much better, and in most cases, greater than what they were already experiencing.
  • The ability to make necessary plans and allows their mind to think of resolutions that need to take place.
  • Time to rest from the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life, which can interpret to self-reflection.
  • An opportunity to transform one’s mind and body to a more refreshed state.
