ep15: Resolutions, Intentions & Goals - Oh My

19m · Alexa Z Meditates - Your Life, But Better · 23 Dec 05:00

Tis that time of the year, right? How does this sound: I am going to lose weight because I am fat and hate my body. I am going to spend more time with my kids because I stink at parenting. I am going to try and find a relationship with a different kind of person, not all the jerks I always seem to attract. I need to make more money because I never have enough.  Sound familiar?

In this episode, we are going to get a grip on goals, intentions, and resolutions and begin to set ourselves up for personal success in 2020. We will start with their differences and see if we can find a blueprint that works for you.

Before we go down the path of setting unattainable goals and becoming disappointed or set goals so low, we jump over them and don't create much of a life impact.  Or we announce a resolution so strong that it might cause an upset with some other desires we have for 2020. For example, begin a new job to make more money, but forget that the 3 hour a day commute will crush your other goal to spend more time with loved ones. First, we need to take a look inwards and define what it is that we are genuinely trying to shift. Is it our personality? Hopefully not, that's not going to happen. Is it the labeling of ourselves? Yes, we need to look at that. Most notable are your intentions. How do you want to live? What do we want our lives to be about?

So please intend to continue to listen to this episode but first do a little dance during my short jingle. Fa la la la la la la la - No not that one. Or you can take a moment to hit subscribe and then I can do a little dance too.

Trailer - I'm Back with a New Season One

Everyday I try and figure out how on earth a person could get through a day without meditating.? I know I couldn't. Well of course I could  but why would I do that? I need a rested body and mind and a nervous system ready to hold up to what ever is thrown at it and there is a lot. It's a never ending battle. I am 100% certain if I can meditate anyone can but hey you're not me right? You have your own stuff going on. You are extremely unique.  However, after a decade or so of teaching, you might be surprised but I hear a lot of the same stories. We are often more similar than you might care to believe. This podcast will be my constant effort to throw meditative spaghetti at you and see what sticks. It just takes one noodle to fill you up.

Listen to some stories, reminders, motivations, facts and skills. Maybe some handholding or instructive baby steps. What ever it is, I will try to lead you down a path where it's your life, but better.

Some shows talk about meditation and then you experience it at the end. I haven't found that works for me or my students so I'm going head first into a new routine. Listen to this podcast when ever you want. Day or night, running or sitting, no rules. Then when you are ready,  I will give you a way to start experiencing the effects of meditation.  In the long run, I refuse to let you be all talk, I want to see action that moves you down the right path. The path that you intentionally set for yourself. No need to wait. Let's dive in. Go big or go home.

Tune in to the first season of getting started down the road to peace.  Each season will last about a month will a consistent theme. We will build this castle one beautiful stone at a time.

 

Let's be victorious together.
