Live Life Intentionally With Amida Wealth

A life with intention is a wealthful life. It means we are aware of our values, priorities, goals, and make conscious choices that align with our soul. Conscious choices are important because when we are present with the decisions we make, we operate from a place of peace rather than fight or flight. An intentional life is filled with purpose – It means making deliberate choices about how we spend our time, and what we prioritize. At Amida our fivefold elements of wealth are: health, career, finances, relationships, and personal growth. When we live life with intention, our fivefold elements of wealth come back to harmony. In other words, we bring more abundance into our lives. Here are 4 simple strategies to help live life with intention today.

First, Witness The Present Moment With Intention

Being present simply means you’re focused and engaged in the here and now, not distracted or mentally absent. Eckhart Tolle is a German-born spiritual teacher and self-help author. In his book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, Eckhart Tolle writes that, “The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever you are able to observe your mind, you are no longer trapped in it.” In other words, the more we become aware of the present moment, the more intentional our lives become. And so, we are capable of creating the life of our dreams.

In the midst of everyday life (health, career, finances, relationships & so on…) remember to pause, and breathe into the present moment. Pause while reading this blog article, and simply take a breath. Mindful breathing anchors you into the present moment. Therefore, it reduces worrying about the past or the future. It has been shown to reduce anxiety, help with burnout, and decrease negative thinking.

First, find a comfortable seated position. Close your eyes, and take 5 deep breathes in and out through the nose. Discover the sensations you may feel on your upper lip, your finger tips, your toes. Perhaps, you may feel tension in your hips, in your neck, or spine. Gain awareness over the background noises – become an observer. Simply be present now.

Second, Set Healthy Intentions For Your Life

When we live with intention, we create wealthy lives for ourselves. This is especially true when it comes to our health. This is why Health is one of Amida’s fivefold elements of wealth. Some examples of healthy intentions include:

1. Engaging in regular physical activity: daily walks, gym-time, sauna time, yoga classes, fitness classes & more.
2. Eating nutritious meals: our gut is our second brain! eat nutrient rich foods to help fuel your body & mind.
3. Practicing self-care: This involves taking time to rest and recharge, meditate, enjoy the ocean, & read a book.
4. Cultivating healthy relationships: This means fostering positive connections with friends– take time to appreciate the beautiful people in your life.
5. Pursuing personal growth: take up new hobbies, learn new skills, engage in therapy, and take care of your mental health.

Ultimately, healthy intentions are those that promote a balanced and fulfilling life, and support an individual’s overall well-being. When we live life with intention, our fivefold elements of wealth come back to harmony.

Third, Be Intentional With Your Decision Making

Intentional decision-making is the process of making choices based on a deliberate and thoughtful consideration of available options, outcomes, and personal values and goals. According to an article in Forbes, about making conscious choices, Not making a decision is in fact a decision. NYU’s Center for Neural Science discovered that the more time it takes to make a decision, the less confident we feel. In other words, in order to live an intentional life, we must continue to develop confidence in our decision-making process. Thus, resulting in more peace and clarity as we navigate through our lives.
