It is so easy to get caught up in the mundane habits of everyday life.
Trust me, I am guilty of this and there is absolutely no judgment here.
Some days, guess what, we need to zone out for a bit to get re-centered. However, there comes a point in time, that we need to also pull ourselves out of the haze and back on track in being intentional about our life.
I have been feeling a little ‘off; lately - my energy has been off, I have been feeling a bit agitated, a bit jealous of others and really just not in a place I want to be.
When I struggle to be living my life with intention and purpose, coming back to quotes of encouragement often helps me to re-centre and re-frame the thoughts that are taking me away from my dharma.

How others word things to make me see a situation in another light has always amazed me.
Over the years, I have amassed a collection of quotes of encouragement in my journals, on my computer, on my phone… when I see something I love I immediately copy and paste it into a Mater Google doc - whether it is on Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram…. I encourage you to do the same…
The other day I was going through some of my many lists of quotes and wanted to put together 30 of my favourite Intentional Living quotes.
So today I wanted to share some with you in case you needed a pick me up or reminder. Make a Pinterest Board and save your favourites!
