1. Create an Intention Statement

Before crafting each intention statement, ask yourself the following questions about this aspect of your life. What do I want to do, be or have?

How do I want to go about achieving it? How will I feel when I have achieved it? With the answers to the above questions in mind, begin drafting your intention statement.. Start with the words, I am or My intention is to? Remember to act ask if when crafting this statement as it becomes a mini-vision statement for the new reality you want to create for yourself.

2. Determine the choices you will make to further your intention.

Create a list of choices you will make for each intention statement in order to carry it out. My Choices: Ask yourself, Now that I am clear about my intention for ______________, what choices will I make in daily life to ensure that I am on track with this intention?

3. List the commitments you will make to actions that will help you achieve what you desire.
Create a list of actions in support of the above choices, that are specific and measurable, that you are willing to commit to in the coming days, weeks, or months. Repeat this process on the following pages, until you have completed your intentions statements, choices, and commitment to action for all eight of the segments of your pie of life. Use your life plan to evaluate new opportunities and requests for your time: Does this decision fit with the vision and intentions I hold for my life? If I make this choice, will it further my progress toward the future I envision? Review your life plan on a regular basis to keep your focus clear and your energy charged. Revisit your intention statements once a year and your choices and action monthly if not weekly to keep your plan current. Treat this as a living document to guide your life on an ongoing basis. Use the Weekly Status Report and/or the Daily Status Report formats provided to help you plan you activities, tack your progress and celebrate your momentum!
