Think back to the intention you set during the New Moon and the steps you envisioned during the Crescent Moon (if you haven't started yet, you can still catch up with us for the next 5 phases! Hit reply if you want me to resend either of the previous emails). If you focused on the vision and the emotions so far, this is the time to think about concrete steps you can take to make your intention into reality. What will you do? How will it help? When will you make time to take this action?


Maybe your intention was around healthy habits- like eating healthier. What exact steps do you want to take to improve your diet? Do you need to shop for healthier food? Do you need to get rid of some unhealthy options at home? Are all of your meals going to follow your new routine? When will you eat? Do you have any mindfulness you want to attach to your routine? Why do you want to eat healthier? What emotions relate to this intention for you? Think of all of the tiniest details and the purpose behind your intention! These are the things that make it become most real.


Or maybe you wanted to declutter. Where will you start? Maybe just a drawer or the top of your desk. What areas do you hope to hit? When can you make time for this? What will you do with the items you no longer want? How will you know when you've done enough? What will decluttering do to help you in your life? How will you feel when there's less clutter? Do you have any plans for how to avoid re-cluttering?


Make sure the steps you're taking are purpose-driven. You had an emotional connection to the intention you set. Think of your why and connect to it with each action you take. Don't do the actions just to check them off a list; these actions should come from your heart to be most meaningful. Be assertive and take charge of doing your part in manifesting your intention.


Pay attention to obstacles. What actions, people, or tasks are getting in the way of your actions. Are they things that are important to you? Why/how are they thwarting your progress and how can you move them-- do them first to get them out of the way? ask for help? add them to a list for later? journal it out? How can you make the path to your intention more clear? It may be a bigger blockage you need to unpack, but at least acknowledge what may be hindering your progress.


Take some time to think about what's most important to you.


What 4-8 things, people, feelings, or qualities drive you in life? You can think about concrete things or intangible principles or both! Make a list!


How do they relate to your intention? How do they help you shape your life? Is there anything that's important to you that you're not currently doing? Why? How can you make room to incorporate it?


Connect your top priorities and your intention to illuminated action. Get started today on bringing your intention into fruition!
