The creative process is intention + action.
Whether we are aware of it and do it purposefully, or it seems as if we do the things that we do as part of a natural, subconscious process, intentions are part of our everyday life. Never was this more clear to entrepreneur, writer, and mindfulness coach, Paige Davis, then on the day she got her cancer diagnosis. She credits her daily meditation practice, a way of checking in with and being present with herself, as an essential factor in her being cancer-free today. When we set intentions for how to approach a challenge, a creative problem, or an overwhelming process, those intentions enable us to act versus react.

It’s not just about external validation but internal alignment.
When we’re meditating, we’re entering that state of relaxed awareness where we’re accessing deeper states of consciousness, and this is where healing and recovering from our lifetime of stress really does happen.
Welcome the wisdom of your experience.
When we approach intentionality with this depth, it has the opportunity to be a fierce practice of awareness, alignment and accountability that can create meaningful transformation in our lives.
