New Moon, New You! Set Your Intentions.

Following the moon cycles and how it impacts the things around me has been something that has brought me more in tune with my thoughts and emotions. Each month the moon enters a new cycle. When this transition happens, it is called a New Moon. I love this moon phase because it is all about investing in yourself and embracing all of the new developments you can make. I have found that one of the best ways to do that is by setting intentions.

What is an intention?

In short, an intention is simply a goal you set. Setting an intention allows you to clarify your priorities and commit to creating changes for yourself.

How do I set a new moon intention?

It's effortless. On the night of a new moon, set a space for your practice and decide what best helps you connect. You can light a candle, meditate, burn some incense, sage or palo santo. Your next step is to state your intention out loud. That's it. If you want to go a step further, you can reinforce your intention by writing it down in your journal.

I personally have dedicated myself to doing a juice cleanse the day before and the day of each new moon at minimum. Mostly to strengthen my mental capacity and cleanse my internal slate to be open to a new chapter and what comes with that. For me working out is the easy part; it is the mental lifting that needs improvement. Juice cleansing helps me to get my mind right and focused on welcoming change.

What should my intention be?

Take some time to figure out what you want to focus on. Do you want to devote more time to self-care? Are you trying to open up and be more vulnerable? Exercise more? Save money? Let go of comparison? The more specific and detailed you get, the more likely you are to stick to that goal.

Why set a new moon intention?

The new moon carries a powerful energy of change. Tap into it to inspire the shift you want to make. But also be ready to do the work.
