June 17, Positive Affirmation for Joy
"High intention operates in the midst of joy.
Joy operates in the midst of high intention."
… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.
About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation is effective when using either or both sentences. Joy is an energy that makes the environment more fertile for high intention. High intention is a consciousness which fosters joy. This DailyAffirm process works regularly with the principle of intention because it is a powerful concept, frequently overlooked as the source for all actions. Perhaps you are often unaware of your intention, especially when performing ordinary or regular tasks. By asking "What is my/your/our/the intention?" you bring to the surface the intention you desire to live from and with. You convert ordinary activities to extraordinary activities by raising your intention as high as you can.
About Your Process
Select a project or task that has your attention today. It matters not if it is big or little, just one that has your attention. Got it? (Pause and reflect, if needed.) Now, state an intention with respect to that project or task. Maybe it is simply "to get it done." Now ask yourself, is this a high Intention? A high intention might be to use the task, "to open communication between my boss and me." If your original intention does not seem high enough for you, change it. Now ask yourself, is this high intention joyful? A joyful high intention might be, "to appreciate every moment with my boss as we deepen our relationship." Adjust your intention however you need so that you have a joyful high intention for this task. As tasks present themselves to you throughout this day, you will find it easier to move directly to realizing a joyful high intention.
