🔼: [[💡 Developmental Container]] ##### Daily Practice and Intention A Daily Practice and Intention gives us an opportunity to consciously gather and direct our attention and energy toward something. It helps keep our [[💡 Developmental Goal]] front-and-center. It comes in two parts: ###### Daily Practice We consciously gather our energy and attention to ground in the present moment. Fundamentally this is about taking a single [[🕯️ Mindful Moments|🛠 Mindful Moment]]. This doesn't have to take time out of our day, it can be integrated into what we're already doing, like taking a shower or drinking our morning tea or coffee. We might taking few [[💨 Full Breath]]s and really notice the scents, tastes, textures, sights, and sounds of whatever it is we're doing. > [!example] Other Suggestions > - Setting a [[🛠 Pendulation Anchor]] or [[🕯️ Resourcing|🕯️ Resource]] > - [[🕯️ Meditation 🧘]] > - [[🕯️ Journaling]] > - [[🕯️ Movement Practices 👟]] > - [[👟 Walking]] in nature > - [[🛠 Integration Experiments]]; [[🕯️ Integration Practices]] ###### Daily Intention Once we're in the present moment, we decide how we will (or won't) use the day toward the fulfillment of our [[💡 Developmental Goal|Goal]]. This disrupts habit and allows us to work with consciousness and intentionality – [[Practices 🕯️]]. It can be helpful to answer the following questions: - "What do I intend to accomplish today?" - "How will I practice being receptive today?" - "What is my [[🛠 Pendulation Anchor]] / What are my [[🕯️ Resourcing|🕯️ Resources]] today?" Take 2-5 minutes in the morning to set a conscious intention as [[💡 Presence|Presence]] for the day. Start this right away, write it down. > [!Example] Example Intentions > - To not do anything toward the [[💡 Developmental Goal]]. > - Do something, top 3 to-dos. > - Be a certain way, like a good listener, courageous, risk-taking, self-accepting, patient – while doing what you have to do throughout the day.
