How To Set Your Intentions

Embracing Intention:

Charting Your Course as a Single Mom

There's a quiet magic in the early morning hush of a single mom's world. The faint glow of dawn paints the room as I steal a moment, while the coffee pot is brewing on the stove, a cup of coffee warming my hands before the whirlwind chaos of the day begins. In these stolen moments, amidst laundry piles, getting ready for work, and pre-dawn school lunches, a question often surfaces: how do I find my way on this extraordinary CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL path of single motherhood with purpose and grace?

The answer, I've come to believe, lies in the power of intention. It's not about rigid plans or a crystal ball predicting the future. Intention is a whisper in the soul, that tingly feeling in your body, a conscious direction for our energy and focus. It's about identifying what truly matters and harnessing the incredible strength within us to create a fulfilling life for ourselves and our children.

Imagine intention as a seed. We nurture it with our desires, hopes, and dreams. It takes root in our hearts, nourished by self-reflection and fueled by the unwavering love we hold for our children. As we tend to this seed, it blossoms into a roadmap, guiding us through the inevitable challenges and unexpected joys of single motherhood.

So, how do we, as single moms, harness this transformative power of intention setting?

1. Finding Clarity: Embrace the Power of “Why”

The first step is carving out a quiet space for introspection. It can be a stolen moment in the morning, a dedicated journaling session, or a walk in nature. Ask yourself, “What do I truly want for myself and my child?”

Go beyond the immediate needs and delve deeper. Do you yearn for a fulfilling career alongside motherhood? Do you crave a deeper connection with your inner self? Perhaps creating a more positive and supportive family environment is your top priority.

As for me, I yearn to live a simpler lifestyle where I am more present in my children's lives. The simplicity of homeschooling, farming, traveling. Creating a deeper connection with my Inner Goddess and helping build a support system for single moms to find their inner goddess.

Don't be afraid to dream big and I mean dream big! Write down your desires and deepest “whys.” This clarity becomes the fertile ground where the seed of intention takes root.

2. Break it Down: Setting Achievable Goals

Our dreams and aspirations are beautiful, but they need a bridge to connect them to reality. This bridge is built with achievable goals. Think of your big “whys” as the destination, and goals as the stepping stones we use to get there.

For example, if a fulfilling career is a desire, your goals could be acquiring a new skill, enrolling in an online course, or simply setting aside dedicated time for career research. If creating a positive family environment is your focus, your goals could be implementing a family game night, establishing clear communication channels, or starting a gratitude practice together.

3. Celebrate the Journey: The Power of Small Wins

The path of single motherhood is paved with triumphs and setbacks. It's easy to get discouraged when the journey seems long and the destination feels distant.

That's where the power of celebrating small wins comes in. Every step forward, every completed goal, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is a victory. Acknowledge your progress, celebrate your tenacity, and let these small wins fuel your motivation to keep moving toward your bigger aspirations.

4. Embrace Flexibility: Life Happens

Single motherhood is a ride rife with unexpected detours and sharp turns. There will be days when your perfectly crafted plans crumble, deadlines get missed, and self-care takes a backseat. Don't let this derail your journey of intention. NEVER GIVE UP!

Setting intentions is about deliberate steering rather than strict control. Simply change your direction, go over your objectives again, and come up with inventive ways to keep going when life throws you a curveball.

5. The Strength Within: Redefining “Enough”

One of the biggest challenges single moms face is the constant barrage of self-doubt. We juggle work, parenting, and self-care, often feeling like failures in all aspects. Here's the truth – you are enough.

Intention setting allows us to redefine “enough.” It's not about achieving perfection; it's about showing up every day with the best version of ourselves for our children and for ourselves. It's about acknowledging our progress, learning from our missteps, and celebrating the incredible strength we possess.

For a single mother, making an intention can be a life-changing experience. Empowerment enables us to set goals, handle unforeseen circumstances, and construct a satisfying life based on love, purpose, and steadfast self-belief.
