Full of Intention: A Tip to Help You Remember What You Need to Remember

Hey everyone...I'm a day late with my post this week {hopefully not a dollar short for it either}. Sorry!

This is going to be short and sweet BUT certainly not short on a helpful tip for those of you struggling with a memory challenge yourself or who have/work with a child who just can't seem to remember what they are supposed to remember. Stick with me here. It's worth it...I promise. 

How can we help ourselves, and our kids, remember what we need to remember? 

Set an intention!

Research shows that once we set an intention that we are going to remember something, we are more motivated to remember it. This means that we are more motivated to use tools that help us remember as well. 

How do we set an intention?

We say "I'm going to remember my backpack in the morning", "I'm going to remember to take my libarary book back tomorrow" or "I will remember to get gas in the morning before work." Modeling this for your kiddos is KEY. Say it aloud when YOU set an intention so they can see how it's done. 

When WE set an intention {as demonstrated above} vs when someone else does it for us "don't forget your back pack in the morning," we are more engaged in the process and more likely to meet with success. 

Some of us set intentions without even realizing it! Do you?  I'd love to hear your thoughts...

Until next time...keep growing and blooming. 


Jen
