Altruistic Intention

From this more general desire to care for others, we can then consider how we might bring our aspiration into our lives in more specific ways. We can set intentions for how we want to act or show up in particular interactions and relationships in our lives.

These intentions could include specific actions we will take to help others, or specific ways we will check in on others. Intentions could also include how we will encourage and support others with our words when we interact with them.

When setting intentions, it is important to not make them too vague or general. Otherwise, it can be difficult to remember when to act on them and hard to assess our progress with implementing our intentions.

Practice setting intentions for each week and each day aimed at building the muscle of caring for others.
