There’s never been a better time to get clear on who you want to be and what kind of life you want to create. And one of my favorite practices to support these choices is to come up with really clear, succinct, powerful statements that you read every morning. Following are some examples.
First I want to offer as a guideline that you keep the statements in the positive - for instance, rather than "I won't smoke today," you might say something like, "I choose to breathe only clean, pure air today."
Second, you may have trouble with intention statements that directly contradict your present reality. For instance, if you have $17 in your bank account and you say, "I have millions of dollars," your mind probably won't let you get away with that.
So below I've shared many options of verbiage you can use that your mind won't argue with. Instead of saying things are different than they are, we're saying what amounts to "I'm open to having life improve" or "This is what I intend as I move forward."
Third, I recommend setting aside some quiet time, distilling your favorites down to a handful, and writing them on a nice piece of paper with a good pen. Keep that paper next to your bed or somewhere where you know you'll see it every morning, and take just a few minutes every morning to say (and FEEL) your statements.
❤️ I AM ... (e.g., I AM a warrior of Truth and Love; I AM an emissary of Peace; I AM playful and fully alive...)
❤️ I CHOOSE ... (e.g., I CHOOSE to keep my heart open today; I CHOOSE to see opportunities for growth, love, and healing; I CHOOSE to trust myself...)
❤️ I ALLOW ... (e.g., I ALLOW my Highest Self to lead me; I ALLOW life to be magical; I ALLOW myself to be free; I ALLOW simplicity and ease into my every moment...)
❤️ I WELCOME ... (e.g., I WELCOME peace and lightness into my heart; I WELCOME an experience of ease into my life; I {gratefully} WELCOME an abundance of money to come to me...)
❤️ I LET GO / RELEASE ... (e.g., I RELEASE all negative stories about myself; I LET GO of needing to control the world; I RELEASE my resistance to reality...)
❤️ I DEVOTE MYSELF ... (e.g., I DEVOTE MYSELF to seeing the good in every situation; I DEVOTE MYSELF to Peace and Love; I DEVOTE MYSELF to my own optimal health...)
❤️ I INTEND … (e.g., I INTEND to love and nourish my body; I INTEND to be kind in all my communications; I INTEND to run three miles today…)
❤️ I WILL ... (e.g., I WILL stay conscious while eating; I WILL keep my agreements today; I WILL look people in the eyes; I WILL stand up for my core values…)
❤️ I RECEIVE ... (e.g., I RECEIVE miracles and reconfiguration for my highest good; I RECEIVE and accept all the blessings that are coming to me; I GRATEFULLY RECEIVE love today...)
❤️ I OPEN MYSELF ... (e.g., I OPEN MYSELF to having an easy and gratifying day; I OPEN MYSELF to experiencing abundance; I OPEN MYSELF to meeting new friends; I OPEN MYSELF to hearing what is for my highest good; I OPEN MYSELF to perceiving the guidance of my soul...)
❤️ I CREATE ... (e.g., I CREATE {or "I choose to create"} a life that is an expression of my virtue and playfulness; I CREATE myself as a lighthearted and peaceful Being...)
❤️ I INVITE ... (e.g., I INVITE my strength to fill me; I INVITE space into my consciousness throughout the day; I INVITE grace into every moment; I INVITE financial abundance into my life...)
❤️ I TRUST ... (e.g., I TRUST in the Great Loving Truth of all of this; I TRUST that The Universe is giving me exactly what I need in order to heal, grow, and thrive...)
❤️ I REMEMBER ... (e.g., I REMEMBER my purpose today; I REMEMBER to be present for the grace in every moment; I REMEMBER to come from a place of love in all that I do...)
Please share your own unique intention statements with us in the comments. We'd love to hear what you come up with!
Be so well,
Dr. Peter Borten

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been posting excerpts from our upcoming book on our three-part foundation for forging a successful and balanced life: structure, sweetness, and space. First, I explained how sweetness can be scheduled liberally into our lives, and how we can infuse it into otherwise mundane tasks and settings to elevate them – and ourselves. Next, I explained how structure is vital in healthy change and accomplishment, and it’s the means by which sweetness becomes integrated into every day. Finally, there’s space , the hardest thing for people to recognize and value, and the most essential for the fullest awakening of a human soul.
Space is the crucible in which sweetness and structure interact to yield a life that feels inspired, meaningful, and fun. Space is where we connect to Spirit. Space is where we find ourselves. In space we can come to understand our shadow and learn the depths of our potential. Space is where we listen – not to our media, our voice, or our own thoughts, but to the silence that holds it all, to the Truth that’s tapping on the window of our consciousness. Alignment and healing can’t occur without the openness that space provides. Insight and creativity are possible only with space . Sweetness needs space in order to be rooted in authenticity and to penetrate, engage, and feed the deepest parts of ourselves. Structure needs space for perspective; it doesn’t breathe without space. Many traditions have a term equating to space – as the “emptiness” from which everything is born. In Daoism, it is called Wuji , the limitless, boundless, or most literally, the non-polar. That is, it’s where our expanded consciousness resides, which isn’t polarized, doesn’t need to take a position, and is simply open. In Buddhism, it is Sunyata – emptiness, openness, or spaciousness – the space in which the soul is unconfined by the mind. In Ayurveda, it is Akasha – space or ether – the origin and essence of the entire material world.
A related term in ancient Chinese philosophy is Tian , meaning heavens or sky. In Daoist cosmology, there are three realms of existence – the heavenly realm above us ( tian ), the earthly realm below us ( di ), and the human realm between, where we blend the qualities of heavens and earth and live in the dynamic swirl between these poles. The heavenly realm is considered to be the domain of pure Yang – the creative force and the intangible spiritual origin of everything. And the earthly realm is considered the domain of pure Yin – of substance and form. The ancient glyph for earth was three stacked broken horizontal lines:
As you can see, the breaks in the three lines form a sort of vertical trough in the middle. The quintessential character of the earthly realm is receptive, and this opening in the earth indicates that it’s a vessel – a vessel to receive and hold the spiritual qualities of the heavenly realm. This is how “heaven on earth” occurs – by our making space in ourselves, to be vessels for the truth of our vast undifferentiated awareness.
When we make space in our consciousness, there’s a place for answers and intuition to come in. I’ve attempted to conceptualize this in the diagram below:
Besides the expansion that space enables in us, there’s another great reason to make space a priority: it’s the antithesis and solution to our addiction to the data stream that dominates our lives and attaches us to our devices. All the time we spend plugged in to the massive flow of information and ideas, we’re disconnected from the magic of the natural world around us. Even though we know in our hearts that there’s nothing more precious than the space in which we discover what we’re connected to , we’ve made some pretty deep agreements with our mind to let it run the show, and that means working hard to fill every possible bit of space . Minds don’t like space .
So, this week, I encourage you to strike a compromise with your mind. Ask it to take a break for a while, and promise it that you’ll give it some really juicy reading or a Sudoku later. Then go be . And say hi to space for me.
With love,
Dr. Peter Borten

I like what you said: “You can control only your own experience.” This is key to resolving conflict. I cannot control the other person’s behavior. You also mentioned “being curious” about the other’s perception and goals. The key to this is to try to state the other’s point of view in a way that he or she says, “Yes, that’s right.” You don’t have to agree with it, you just have to understand it. And encourage the other person to express the same about your perception and goals. Mutually doing this slows down confrontation and speeds up conversation. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for being so wonderful.
