The Power of Intention Setting

[@ehsanrashid8337]

1. You can't commit to something that is out of your control. 2. Arrival Fallacy ------- The moment we get what we want, we can find ourselves even more unsatisfied than when we started. 3. Impact Bias ---------- Things don't feel as good or as bad as we think they will. 4. Intention---------------- Why do I want to do this? Why doea it matter? Why is it worth my incredibly limited time on this earth? The purpose of an intention is to BE reather than to BECOME. 5. Success is not measured by whether or not I accomplish a goal, but whether or not the goal supports my grater intention. 6. In this way, all effort counts. There is no failure, just feedback.

Thanks for the summary

This is the most useful and powerful video I watched in month of June. So so useful thank you brother keep your light shining you are truly a Lighthouse❤

Setting my intentions first helped me clarify my goals that relate to each intention: Make my home a sanctuary, make the world better for others, and challenge myself in numerous ways. This is so much better than my normal resolutions.

[@sandyduggan8572]

Hello from a random stranger on the internet! I loved the intention you shared - so much meaningfulness captured in your words, thank you! I wrote it down in my journal to inspire my own intention-setting process.

[@meganjantke7921]

This is one of the best summaries and explanations I’ve ever listened to. Truly inspirational, especially for those of us who are constantly looking at self-improvement and feeling like we’re going round in circles sometimes. I LOVE listening to videos Ryder, thank you 🙏

[@bulletjournal]

thank you for taking the time :)

I am finding your ideas very much aligned with how I'm feeling during a transition period in life (into an empty nester) and appreciate the clarity with which you present your ideas in these videos. I've been reading your book repeatedly since it was published, always finding something new. This is an exciting journey---thank you! Oh, and my intention is to be guided by compassion more than attention, if that makes sense. 😉

[@monical.8360]

So insightful!!! And so life changing! Thank you so much!!! ☺💕

[@HauntedByHeroesX]

I really appreciate these little pearls of wisdom. It really resonates with me.

[@AnchorsAway-065]

I appreciate how clear and concise this video was. You are quite philosophical.

[@irenesworkroom]

These messages are processing inside of me at the moment. I start a bullet journal for the x-time. I always wanted it to look pretty and nice and it never felt perfect enough. Now I will start with setting an intention and see how things develop. I will go with the flow. Thank you Ryder! 🥰

Personally, my intention was to use self-reflection to gain self-awareness, and in self-awareness, gain more personal growth. Sometimes I can write for hours without prompt, but some days, I'm stuck without ideas of what to write. Here are just suggestions of common search terms I use to look for thought provoking things to write about as an intention. 1. Journal prompts 2. Writing prompts 3. Poetry prompts 4. Journal prompts for self discovery. 5. Journal prompts for mental health 6. List of philosophical questions 7. Questions to ask in a deep conversation 8. Quotes about (any category you choose here) 9. Gratitude journal prompts 10. Journal questions on race/gender/sexuality/ethnicity/age (or any other major identity) 11. Career journal prompts 12. Fitness/nutrition/health journal prompts 13. Spiritual/religious journal prompts (If that personally resonates with you) 14. (Insert hobby here) journal prompts 15. List of affirmations 16. Journal prompts for self reflection 17. Journal prompts for students 18. Journal prompts for kids 19. Journal prompts for teens/young adults 20. Journal prompts for adults 21.

My intention is to regain my mental health, and get back to having a life. Not sure how to journal that one, but I am willing to give it a go.

[@margieoconnor5781]

As I listened I felt you embody what you are teachng. I realized art has allowed me to get in touch with the flow . I loved your line our goal must support our greater intention. While I teach art and want to get better at delivering it to my clients my greater intention is to ignite in my beloveds a passion for art that allows them to feel fully alive.

[@PranjalJain92]

I want my BuJo practice to help me bring a sense of control and focus on my priorities. I am sometimes over-ambitious; no, I am over-ambitious in my thoughts, but I do not achieve them all, which irritates me. I am trying to tell myself I can do it and not just say things. I am more of a doer.

[@hagerthehorrible1892]

If they ever make a movie about me, I want Ryder to narrate it.

[@MrMixolydian7]

I just started a new journal and had paused filling out intentions. Great timing!!

[@CurlyHairArtistry]

Well taught and makes wonderful sense once understood and then applied - I look forward to marinating in this a bit more and give it a go. Thank you.

[@world1.618]

Deal with inaction that has accumulated from a need for deeper understanding, thankyou!

[@sandralantau7395]

Thank you! Your explanations of concepts and of the relationships between concepts is insightful!

[@martinjacob580]

Your videos are amazing, thank you so much

[@jonathanrhall43]

Goal as hypothesis, tested by achievement of the goal

[@vassilikiyiannou728]

Excellent video! Thank you for clearing the definitions out! Not so obvious as it seems!

[@RayneBlue]

Thanks...great food for thought.

[@LawrenceCarriere]

Great stuff Ryder! You are truly my Yoda!

[@FemmeNaty]

Eleqouenty said. This resonated with me. I was having trouble writing my goals (I was writing my intentions and didnt realise it). ❤

[@LaineyBug12]

This was a great video! Thank you :)

[@loneharboe1976]

Love this ♥️♥️♥️

[@pocahontas330]

❤❤❤

[@laurengibson7852]

I have been wondering what a resolution vs goal vs intention would look like for the same topic. Wondering if anyone else would find it helpful to see a. Example or two written down. I’m just a very visual person 😅

[@laurengibson7852]

However- I love the philosophy behind setting intentions and why goals feel so unsatisfying

[@imsody]

same, I need to see some example to fully grasp it...

[@zoimargeli2829]

I can try. Resolution: Having more followers on my professional insta account Goal: 2k followers until July Intention: I believe in my product, it would make people's life more mindful Plan: Let's experiment by posting one video per week. Do you see the difference?

[@ana_djurovic]

It is really helpful. Thanks a lot. 👏

[@bulletjournal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Babbajune]

Thank you! ❤️

[@filmakttab]

Thanks rai😁 you're a good man🥰

[@Tricia_JoElle]

This is my fourth video on intention... and no one gives examples. What words are spoken? "My intention is to manifest ( )"? "I have the intention to have a big house"? THat would be goal, future. "I am now living in a big house" (even though I'm not)? I know I'm lying. What good is that? FYI-- "big house" is NOT something I want, just an example.

[@bulletjournal]

We'll add this to a list of possible video ideas, but perhaps this article can also offer another perspective and examples: bulletjournal.com/blogs/bulletjournalist/resolutions_vs_intentions

❤amazing!

I have a post intentional view of man's psychology so this doesn't make any sense to me.

[@user-xv7xc6so2x]

WOW! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHEN MY ESSENTIAL SELF FEELS THAT THAT SO ELUSIVE LIGHT IS NOW NOT ONLY SEEN AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, BUT IT LIGHTS THE ENTIRE PATH, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO SEE THE PATH I FOLLOW BETTER. THE WAY IN WHICH YOU HAVE SAID THE MESSAGE IS PERHAPS THE WAY THAT IN SOME WAY GAVE ME THE MEANING TO ESTABLISH MY NAVIGATION COURSE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ADVANTAGES THAT THE PATH TOWARDS MY GOAL HAS IN PLACE. THANK YOU, IT'S LIKE A SECOND WIND.👍
