Setting intentions is not the same as goal-settingBut something else important is happening here. Amidst all the charting and description, I am also setting an intention for the day. Setting an intention is setting a toneAn intention is a guidepost, a plan, a reminder you give yourself of who you are and what kind of human being you will present to the world. Aligning our intentions with our valuesThe most effective intentions emanate from our deeply held beliefs, our core values. We are doing something similar here in setting intentions for our day.
