Intentional Blooming

I’m in a group that sets intentions each new moon. I’ve been doing this since 2018. Some months I’m more successful than others. I’ve tried varying the way I write them down, but haven’t found one pattern that seems more successful than any other, until last September. I decided to group my intentions into categories I had started using for my goals. (Seems obvious in retrospect, but that’s how hindsight is!) My goal categories are Boom, Bloom, and Zoom (no – not that Zoom). In the past 4 weeks, I have heard multiple people use the word Bloom in their 30-second introductions. I’ve also heard the word pop up in other places where I’ve never noticed it before. It made me pay attention – seems like a message is trying to be heard. I want to explore what intentional blooming could be.

 

Blooming relationships

All of my “Bloom” goals and intentions are about relationships. They are about nurturing existing ones and attracting new ones. When I think of things that bloom, they are healthy, growing into their next stage, and part of the natural order of things – organic. So bloom seems like a great word to use. Isn’t that how we want all of our important relationships to be?

 

Blooming businesses

When bloom started showing up this month in business meetings, it took me back for a minute. Why was everyone starting to use my word all of a sudden? Some people used it to describe how they help clients bloom and some talked about getting businesses to bloom. Not the same context I’d been using for myself, but still a valid use of the word. We all want our clients and businesses to bloom too. My thoughts then go to other contexts. What else can bloom? Creativity comes to mind. We want to access new ideas and inspirations that feel fresh and healthy and expansive.

 

Intentional blooming

In all of these contexts, we want something to be blooming. But have we painted a picture of what that will look like? Saying we want something doesn’t necessarily mean that we have clearly defined the end result. It has been my experience that taking the time to imagine the details helps bring about the goal. Picture examples of what this intention looks like when it is manifested. What are the visual images, what are you saying to yourself, and most importantly what are you feeling when this is all happening? Immerse yourself in that emotion so that it is real to you.

 

This is one of the best ways I know to start achieving those goals and manifesting those intentions. If we aren’t clear about what those look like or if we focus on all the things preventing us from getting there, it is less likely to happen. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t identify and address possible obstacles, but only in a solution frame of mind – not dwelling on the problem side of it.

 

And if you need help?

Sometimes that visioning is all we need to get to where we want to be. Sometimes, we need a little extra help. That’s where I come in. If you can’t close the gap yourself, let’s work together to find and change the subconscious beliefs that are making this so difficult. You can book a session here.
