Sets goals as something you need to "push" yourself to "make happen" at the expense of your authenticity and well-being. | Sets intentions as sacred callings that arise from within and draw you forward naturally, rather than demanding you to push yourself excessively. |
In this video, you'll learn a refreshing approach to setting intentions that moves beyond rigid goal-setting. We'll explore a softer, more receptive method that invites joy, wonder, and ease—making the process about receiving and noticing what's unfolding for you rather than constantly pushing to just "make it happen."

10:54 - The Power of Journaling on Your Intentions
I recommend framing your intentions as questions that allow you to feel more open and joyful about the journey itself - excited to see how things unfold and feel good along the way.
Map out each intention into actionable timeframe components.
- What does it look like to move toward your intention daily, weekly, monthly, etc.?
- Also remember, not every intention requires activity at every interval—some need more breathing room.
- Don't worry about how you'll sustain this; we'll build support systems for that in future steps.
- Within each Intention page, leverage the milestones toggle to chart specific, measurable markers of progress. Think of these as your celebration points along the journey. For instance: A $20,000 savings goal might include milestones at $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000—each one acknowledging real progress and building momentum.
- The milestones aren't just about tracking progress — they serve to acknowledge your growth. Stay flexible by adding spontaneous milestones when unexpected wins occur. Marking these milestones creates powerful positive reinforcement and cultivates gratitude for the journey, not just the destination.
- Each intention page includes a dedicated "Journal on the Intention" toggle section. Use this as your personal growth laboratory. Commit to engaging with at least one intention daily—even 2-3 minutes of reflection on your feelings, progress, challenges, or revelations compounds into profound self-awareness over time.

Michelle, I know you know this already... but Sacred Systems is EVERYTHING I have been wishing for. I am making my way through it slowly and intentionally, and I feel like your entire ethos and perspective is what I've been yearning for yet never found in the online world.
Thank you SO MUCH for pouring everything into this. I feel lighter already and I've only set one intention for my wheel of life (finances), but it just all makes sense.
