In a world that often feels like it's moving at record speed, the act of setting intentions can be a grounding force, helping us navigate our days with purpose and clarity. Here are some examples of how and where you can set intentions. Set your intention for the day writing it down in your journal, phone, or computer. 👣 As soon as your feet hit the floor after you’ve woken up, set the intention for how you want to feel at the end of the day. You can say it to yourself, verbalize it out loud, or write it down. ✍️ Write down your meeting intention at the top of your agendas. Share it with your meeting participants at the beginning of your discussion and ask them to help actualize it during the meeting. 👟Before you walk with a friend or have a meaty conversation with a loved one, set your intention. How do you want to feel at the end of the exchange? You can get clear inside your mind or share it with the person if you choose.

Not sure how to make time for self-care? Start with these 4 Simple Strategies: 🍃 Start Small: Take a few deep breaths before a meeting, look for the beauty surrounding you, or jot down positive experiences you've had the privilege to experience today. Attuning to what's working in your life can significantly impact your wellbeing. 🚫 Define Your Boundaries: Avoid overextending yourself and make time for nourishing activities. Say "no" to anything that you don't want to do. 🧘♂️ Schedule Self-Care: Block out time on your calendar for self-care activities, whether going on a walk in nature, listening to your favorite song, or pursuing what you're truly passionate about. 💙 Reflect on Your Purpose: Why are you here? What are you made for? What is emerging inside of you that wants expression? Reflecting on these questions can help uncover where to place your time, talent, and resources. Bringing our dreams and goals to form is a powerful way we care for ourselves.

Many of us are taught that “leadership” means a combination of making smart choices, inspiring others to act, and having a vision for change. While all those things are important, conscious leadership is based on a different way of thinking about leadership. What if leadership is less about knowing what to do and more about deciding how to be? Conscious leadership centers around becoming aware and honest about who you really are so you can align your work and life with your passions, strengths, and dreams. If you aren’t clear on what is important to you and why, how can you help anyone else? Conscious leadership isn't a set of unrealistic expectations that are impossible to achieve. And it isn't a laundry list of a dozen principles you can't remember. Conscious leadership is about being, not doing. It has three core components: The call to be AWARE; The choice to be ALIGNED; The invitation to be INTENTIONAL. Explore this and more in our new book, Leading with Light. https://bit.ly/3Woy0d6 ✨

To help you practice conscious leadership, we have developed the Four Lights of Conscious Leadership. Whereas most leadership models consider what leaders should do, the Four Lights help you reflect on how you could be as you navigate life. Today, we'll explore Light #2: Your Light Is Always On Even in our darkest, most insecure, and fearful moments, we still have everything we need to be leaders. Your light may sometimes feel dim, but it can never go out. No matter how you feel, you can trust that your light is always on, no matter what. When you feel worried or fearful, you can consciously look for the light within and all around. What if our lowest moments have something to teach us? What if our experiences of stress and worry are there to remind us of our humanness? Negative self-talk and harsh self-criticism don't serve us well beyond a healthy level of humility. We get to choose which thoughts we feed. Why not trust that you're light is always on, no matter how you feel?
