Intention Words for 2020

As I’m setting up my 2020 goals, I’m also doing a practice I do with all of my High Performance Coaching clients: setting intention words.

Intention words are markers that represent the best of who you are and how you want to show up in the world. You can use them to guide how you want think and act each day – which can have an incredibly powerful impact on your life.

My 3 Intention Words for 2020:

Vibrant
Connected
Unstoppable

Every single day, I want to show up with vibrancy, create connection and not let any set back stop me from achieving my mission.

I want to be vibrant even when I’m doing the dishes.
I want to be connected even when I’m talking to the postman.
I want to be unstoppable even when I’m facing a tiny decision.

Being intentional is about thinking about how you want to be before a situation occurs. Brendon Burchard, the author of High Performance Habits, argues that what makes High Performers so good at being intentional is that constantly remind themselves of their intentions.

I have an alarm on my phone, set to go off every morning at 8 am, and evening at 9:39pm, so my words pop up and I’m reminded to live into them at that moment, no matter what I’m doing. My 2019 intention words are sticky taped to my shampoo bottle so every morning I can ask myself “how could I show up with inner peace today?”

I’d love to hear what your 2020 intention words are – leave me a comment below!
