" Setting an intention gives you an opportunity to declare how you want to be in a situation—and, ultimately, that's all you have true control over. How you show up. How you experience something. This is one of the most powerful routines you can integrate into your daily life. I can almost guarantee that if you try it every day for a month, you'll feel very different, perhaps even transformed. "
