This is a photograph of my family at our favorite dude ranch in Tucson, White Stallion Ranch. It inspired today's intentions:
Working Today?
Who needs just a bit more of your time today? Think about them right now and consider how you will be with them just a bit more today. What do they need you to say? How long do they need you to stay?
Family Time Today?
Many years ago there was a book called “The First Four Minutes” the premise of which was that the first four minutes of every encounter is the most important…a time we use to establish relationship, trust, and connection. One expert said with families it is the first eight minutes! So when you come home tonight despite all of those unanswered emails…spend the first eight minutes with everyone in your family telling each one what they meant to you as you thought about them today.
On Your Own Today?
Traveling? Vacationing? Contemplating? Cleaning out the basement today? Well how is what you are doing renewing you? Try coming up with one word that will be your focus as you board an airplane, sit on the couch, sit on a horse (!) or de-clutter. See what meaning that word gives your activity today.
