Ignite Your Inner Fire: 25 Inspirational Intentions

Life is a miraculous gift. Yet, as many of us move through time, we seem to have forgotten.

We've grown weary, disconnected, distracted or detached. We've lost our connection with our inner fire -- our unique experience of being alive and belonging in a greater sense to others, and the world around us.

Over the past 20 years, I've counseled individuals and couples seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, etc. Regardless of the presenting issue, I've felt it my deep honor and profound responsibility to reignite their inner fire. I do this by knowing them, mirroring back to them all of their strengths and gifts, and then inviting them to align their lives with who they truly are as their highest and best selves.

One client recently said, "Thank you for making me embrace my life and my light and step into who I truly am."

If your inner fire has dampened from the stressors and challenges of living in today's world, I recommend the following inspirational intentions:

1) I intend to surround myself with people who see me as my highest and best self and light my inner light.

2) I intend to connect with my deeper self through creative activities that refuel my energy.

3) I intend to do work that is engaging and meaningful to me on a deeper level.

4) I intend to connect with my body through my favorite exercise regimens.

5) I intend to nurture my spirit by taking time for quiet pause and reflection and will implement practices such as connection with nature, mindful breathing, meditation, etc.
