Intentional Living

Written By Angela Wilson

Many times in life we DON’T live from the center of who we are - the heart - we save it only for the moments we think that are extraordinary. We forget to be present in our daily life, thinking our ordinary days are just ordinary and we operate from our head, forgetting to be thankful, being present in the moment, living with gratitude & being intentional with all we do.

Three practices to guide you with intentional living:

  • Check in daily: Ask yourself, “Am I stuck in my head with my thoughts?” - “Am I forgetting to see the beauty of life that surrounds me?” Simply being aware is helpful.

  • Cultivate “present tense” gratitude. Make it a daily practice being aware of 3 things that are bringing you joy that you would normally take for granted.

  • Edit what doesn’t belong in your life. Look for the areas that consistently pull you down. Sometimes our perspective needs to be adjusted or our circumstance needs to change. Food for thought: If you’re not content with what you have - what makes you think you’ll be content with what you want? Check in with yourself: There is a time & place to release what isn’t working but sometimes we are pulled down because we aren’t content with where we are in life.

You don’t have to figure it all out at once to live a meaningful life. Daily work on these 3 steps with intentionality and it will come together with time. Be patient & expect great things!

Be intentional in all you do!

I am a daughter, mother of five, grandma, friend, and mentor. I’ve struggled through difficult storms in life & I have walked through great victories. I know the difficulty of living in the present moment, letting go of the past, and not worrying about the future. I’ve struggled with embracing my flaws, comparing, and feeling like I fit in. It’s through my own struggles & insecurities that I have grown & become who I am. My heart & passion is to help empower women to live with confidence & authenticity that fits their style, whether it’s through make-up, fashion or setting intentions for the real changes we all desire. I have spent time listening to women’s hearts from all walks of life. Through these years of compassionate listening I have gained insight to help women embrace their true self by living each day with intentions, confidence & contentment. I know we all struggle with comparing ourselves, enjoying each moment without rushing & feeling confident in our own beauty. Because of these experiences & walking along the path of others it is my heart’s desire to walk alongside you.
