LOVED this Simple concise and easy to implement

Love the part about setting a goal and re-evaluateing it to match your intention!

Really like the concept of including the intention. I really want to lose weight but it's really stubborn and I get so discouraged after a great start for about 3 weeks then nothing and after 3, especially if work gets busy, it no longer becomes a priority and slips however I think it is more about not wanting to face the continuing disappointment.
I did try to focus on the positives (what I would set as intentions) the first week I had no weight change but that waned because I was too focused on weight loss.
I'm going to try this, setting my intentions first and see what happens. Thanks 🙏🏻

Excellent, managed to pack great useful teaching into a few minutes

Simple and yet so insightful. Really helpful - thank you!
