Resolution- resolve, intention- intent: words are important because of the associations they have within our mind. How powerful or weak do these words come across to you?

Resolution seems weak. You can have good intentions…the best of intentions… you can make a resolution and abandon it. On the other hand, when you think about someone having intent, or someone with resolve, it feels strong and unbending. No matter what they come up against, they’ve made up their mind.

A wall of demands, big and small vie for our time and attention, blocking us from what gives us fulfillment and purpose.

In the past I had the intention to paint plein air but never got around to it. There were always other pressing matters to attend to. Plus my paintbox wasn’t packed, my supplies unorganized, I had no destination in mind. Naturally, I failed because there was no framework.

When I joined a plein air group, I harnessed intent. It had a leader with proven locations to go to paint. There was a framework, a time each week to plan and be ready for and I made a commitment to be there and take part. I brought my son along and so had a partner to be accountable on top of the group. There was no question in my mind- every Tuesday I as booked off and there was a clear plan.

Both resolution and intention are prompted by feeling a lack or danger in that needs a response.

In my case making art fulfills me, and not doing it makes life less joyful. But those feelings won’t always be enough, most often, something in life suddenly happens that puts us over the edge.

For me, taking up yoga as a daily practice was something I wanted in order to relax and steady myself. But it wasn’t until things had become desperate and I felt myself going over the edge that I looked for the right teacher.

As my life and peace of mind was crumbling a guide appeared to help me.

Each time I took up the practice of yoga it was because I had a teacher who led the way, provided a framework and a map for me to follow.

My teacher empathized with my situation.
They provide a practice that was suitable, I’d even say perfect, to fit into my life: including the exact steps, when, and how long to practice.
I was supported through regular instruction and encouragement.
