What is YOUR INTENTION for achievement this year, and WHAT ACTION will you take to carry it out?

[@hollysullivan9244]

My intention is eating healthier, however I struggle to turn intention into consistent action

[@deanhallett5906]

Hi Holly. If we want to see our intention, all we have to do is look at our results. Intention is more than willpower. Most of our intention is driven by our subconscious or unconscious self. Throughout our lives we form fixed beliefs and behaviors that are over 90% driven by our subconscious. To break free, we must break through these fixed beliefs and behaviors to reveal our authentic self. And the more conscious and aware we are of our authentic self, the more we consciously choose our intention. A simple example is if someone (not saying you) has a fixed belief at some level that they are unworthy of love, that unworthiness at a subconscious level is more likely to drive eating habits than conscious willpower.

@@hollysullivan9244 It is a journey of self-discovery, and a very rewarding journey. I formed a lot of fixed beliefs and behaviors in my early years, and was lucky enough at age 21 to participate in what today would be referred to as an emotional intelligence training. I currently use those same tools I gained back then to help business teams shift into high-performance, and the breakthrough process is the same for an individual's personal growth. It is a process of continual improvement. The process that leads to breaking through starts with raising our self awareness so that we can see and challenge our current belief system.
