Intending and How It Creates Your Reality

Intending and How It Creates Your Reality. First, let me clarify that there is a difference between Intending and Living Intentionally. They are similar but differ in that one is spiritual, and the other is a practical way of living. Both help you create the life you desire, but” intending” changes your identity and creates your reality. 

There are different meanings for how I and many use these words. For me, they have a deeper meaning than their dictionary definitions because they go beyond the ordinary.

There is a fine line of difference and nuance in how the words are used, but the main difference is between the practical and ordinary meanings and the mystical spiritual meanings.

The difference between intending and living intentionally

Intending is being attuned and aligning with the creative energy of intention. It’s a trusting way to live that allows for creative energy to create your reality.

Whereas living with intention, or living intentionally, is about defining your dreams and values, then taking consciously controlled actions that align with them to live your dream life. It’s a positive, wonderful way to live that helps you fulfill your goals and potentially live your dream life.

Always intending an outcome or the best possible experience in each moment of your life is more than just planning and aligning with your desires and values.

Intending puts purpose into moments; it blesses them with its highest potential. It’s believing in and intending the outcome you not only desire but is touched by the field of energy that is the creator of reality.

It’s a way of living that is aware of the power of intention and aligns with consciousness to energetically influence and guide your thoughts and behaviors in all things, resulting in your wishes fulfilled.

On the more everyday practical side of intending

If you are making a casserole, you might intend for it to nourish those who eat it.

If you were waking up, you might intend for your day to be filled with love.

If you are working on a project, you might intend for it to go smoothly and result in valuable work that improves lives.

If you are reading a book, you might intend to gain knowledge and recall the facts and details with ease.

The possibilities for “intending” are endless and personalized to your desired outcomes.

Intending raises the bar on the awareness with which you live every moment of your life.

It releases a positive energy into your moments, turning them from ones you barely notice or perhaps even take for granted into special moments filled with potential for the highest outcomes.

Intending is easy and natural

You just need to pause and look at life with the perspective that you can influence your experiences and outcomes by intending.

I intend to show up as my best self today

I intend to be open to guidance

I intend to create from Love

I intend to do _____ with ease

I intend to be grateful for all

Intending is a way of being

Intending is not asking or imagining, and you’re not receiving as in visioning. You’re simply living with the intention for the highest good in all things and allowing your energy to rise and align to its highest frequency.

Intending embodies how you want to live with appreciation, respect, and the highest expectations for finding and contributing value in all things, big and small, that you experience, moment by moment, throughout each day of your life.

Intending is a way of being. It becomes part of your identity. Living in alignment with the field of energy that is the source of creation, you believe your intention is already reality.

You not only intend for your desire to be manifest, but you also become what you intend. You become the embodiment of all you intend. You become the person whose identity is that of the person you become and who has the desire you intended, the new job, the house, the relationship. Whatever you desire is what you intend and you have the power of intention to create your reality.

It’s a practice resulting in raising your energy

My intention is to appreciate ___________________________

It’s an expectation and tone for how you show up

I intend to be my best self

I intend to be caring

The mystical spiritual side of intending

On a deeper level, it’s you becoming the person who has what you desire (acting as if it is already reality and confident it will manifest). Your desires are actually intentions aligned with the spirit to result in what you desire, which is created by the power of intention.

You are now aligned with your chosen identity in your daily life.

I intend to be the best mom, spouse, writer, etc.

I intend to be a successful entrepreneur, a world traveler, live my dream life.

Intending aligns your presence, your choices, and your actions with your desire for the greatest good in all things and your desires. In time, this becomes such an automatic, natural process that you are not aware of trying; you are just being.

Dr. Wayne Dyer states, “You get what you intend to create by being in harmony with the power of intention, which is responsible for all of creation.”

Does this make you feel there is more to intending than simply setting an intention? That’s because there is much more to “intending.” We all have the ability to align with the energy of intention to create our reality. It’s just one more natural tool we have to manifest our dreams and co-create a life we love.

We will explore this further in future newsletters, but for now, you can learn more about the power of intention and how it can make your dreams a reality.
