169. Setting Yourself Up for Success with Words

Healing Medicine: Mindfulness, Mindset & Physician Well-Being

Words can serve as a guiding light to help you reach new heights from a place of alignment.

Words can guide your decisions and actions, and impact "results" tremendously. Words are a tool for a mindful practice of exploration, growth, reflection, and intention setting.

Why Words?

• Language is powerful

• Words are simple and familiar

• Words have tone and energy

• Words invite curiosity and spacious exploring

Choosing words is an empowering mindful practice.

It takes pausing and being present Listening to your heart. Slowing down and connecting with self.

Choosing them requires understanding your true wants vs should wants. It is about finding clarity about where you are now, where you want to go, and what feels possible. They are about connecting to your current self, future self, and hope and possibility.

When you choose words thoughtfully you end up in a place you truly "want" to be a year from now rather than a place you think you should want to be or a place you simply "ended up."

Words and intentions tell our Reticular Activating System how to filter input. What you pay attention to is your life.

What words would you like to choose as intentions for 2024?

Many people need support and guidance for this and other practices that help you live a life of alignment and intention. Mindful coaching is that support. www.jessiemahoneymd.com
