July Intention

A new month is here. AND it’s my birthday month and I fully plan to #treatmyself all month long 🙂

I didn’t set an intention last month, but am intrigued by the idea since I’m not a huge fan of resolutions. I do try to set goals for myself, but intentions seems a bit more “gentle” and therefore more doable for me right now.

After my annual performance review with my boss last week, a common theme that came up was “confidence.” Confidence is always something that I have struggled with – like since I was six. For a few months, I thought I was doing fine. But then I slowly noticed a negative shift in my self-esteem and confidence. I start to play the “woe is me” game and seek other people’s options Those are the first big signs that I need to take a break and reconnect with myself.

All this to say that CONFIDENCE is my intention this month. I have done so many things that I’d never thought I’d do (haven’t we all at some point)?! Those are great opportunities to overcome the negative self-talk that I so easily slip into.

Here is my favorite definition of Confidence: a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities… Hello – what a wake up call for me!

Do you have a set monthly intention? I’d love to hear!

Peace,
