Intention Setting 2021: How Much is "Enough?"

As we move closer and closer to the New Year, many people are working with setting their intentions for 2021.

We often clarify these goals in terms of wanting "more" of this and that: more money, more free time, more adventures, more...?

"More" is a Slippery Beast!

Of course there's nothing wrong with wanting to have more/better of something, but what is our true ambition, here?

I always end up thinking about the many overachieving go-getters in life who keep striving and striving for more, but no matter how MUCH they accomplish or accumulate, it never seems to be enough.

And so, as part of setting intentions for "more" of something, we are also well-served to ask how much is actually enough? And, in the pursuit of "more," are we actually obsessing over something out of old habits that will merely lead us to having more yet feeling no contentment at all if we succeed?

Defining "enough" is an important part of intention setting, in the sense that it asks us to look at the question: "If I have X more, will I be happy?"

If we are looking to live a mindful and conscious life, we must develop a clear sense of what contentment looks like, and that includes the consideration of just how much "more" we actually need to find peace with ourselves.

In working with my clients, I sometimes end up surprising them by inviting them to change their perspective slightly to where they realize that they don't actually have a "lack" of something, they already have "plenty." With that information, they can go deeper and arrive at a clearer idea of what their true intentions are.

Thanks for reading, and Bright Blessings to all!
