Choosing with Purpose: How Intentionality Shapes Your Life

Intentionality… what does this mean to you? How does this show up in your life?

Intentionality means deliberate, conscious decisions or actions. This can be personally or professionally. Intentionality brings into play mindset, self awareness and conscious choices, we are no longer operating on autopilot.

Why is all of this important? Last week we talked about prioritization and showing what is important to you and now its time to talk about being intentional, it felt like a good connecting and aligning topic.

How are you being intentional in your life- both personally and professionally? How are you making your choices? Having a strong mindset? How are you aware of what is going on around you? How do you move from autopilot into strong action.

Intentionality structures how we place our time in what is important to us and the habits or routines that we have. If the way we have things structured currently does not serve us, then we can intentionally choose to change. Change can be slow and still worth while. Sometimes if we feel frustrated with where we are, we can look at how we are spending our time and other resources, we can identify painpoints or areas of improvement to get us closer to where we want to be. We don’t just arrive to a destination by chance it is by the choices we make. Even if we do not choose to do something, that is still a choice.

Being intentional and aligning choices with values allows us to live with less anxiety and more confidence because we are choosing to do certain things to get us to where we want to be and become the person we want to be. Intentionality is also needed in relationships. You cannot expect relationships to be fulfilling by chance but instead through choices and time.

Intentionality leads to a more fulfilled, meaningful, and purpose-driven life. Reflect on you own lives and ask yourself, "Are my choices aligned with my purpose and values?"

Where are there areas of your life that you can be more intentional?

Speaking of intentionality, below are two great growth opportunities to intentionally take advantage of.
