Yesterday my yoga instructor asked us to declare an intention for the workout.

I chose OPENESS.

Open my body.
Open my mind to what the day had to offer and teach.
Open my spirit to be kinder.

I liked declaring an intention, a purpose.  Made me focus on that intention throughout the workout and the day.  And ...

Where focus goes, energy flows.  Tony Robbins.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I found myself giving an angry beep to a truck meandering in the neighborhood (community garage sale) and stopping in middle of road over and over.  And this was on the drive home from yoga.  And I was actively thinking how to be "open" for the day.  But I was really hungry ... so I'm a work in progress (and then some!)  I did realize that wasn't exactly a kinder spirit moment.

But, the rest of the day felt successful.  I'm still amazed what I "see" when I look.

I like the idea starting the day with a little thought, a little prayer if you will ...

Let me be open to this day and what it has to bring.  

It's a nice way to begin.
