My dear Global Yoga Community,

You are probably wondering where I am getting at with the title and then that photo. How about replacing “someone’s” with “your” and let your innocent heart lead the way!
To care enough about yourself to pay attention and place your attention on one area at a time in your life that you feel, needs some love. By setting an intention for the outcome or change you like to see in that area you strengthen the pact. Together, they form a dynamic duo that helps us navigate the complexities of everyday life and pursue our aspirations with purpose and clarity.

Intention is the mental state or cognitive process involved in forming a purpose or goal. It’s the driving force behind our actions, guiding us toward specific outcomes or desired states. When we have a clear intention, we have a direction or purpose in mind, which serves as a blueprint for our behavior.

Attention, on the other hand, is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring others. It’s like a spotlight that focuses our awareness on particular stimuli, thoughts, or activities. Attention allows us to filter out distractions and hone in on what’s relevant to our current goals or interests.

Intention provides the motivation and purpose behind our actions, because attention without intention is meaningless. 
On the other hand our attention guides us along the path toward realizing our intentions.
Attention takes place in the present, and intention concerns itself with the future.

My dear Global Yoga Community,

The interplay between the joy of life and perception is intricate and multifaceted, shaping our experiences and attitudes towards the world around us. Here’s how these two concepts intersect:

Joy of Life
The joy of life refers to an inherent sense of happiness, fulfillment, and appreciation for existence. It encompasses feelings of gratitude, wonder, and enthusiasm for the experiences life has to offer. When we possess a strong joy of life, we often find beauty and meaning in even the simplest moments and are inclined to approach life with optimism and openness.

Perception
Perception refers to how we interpret and make sense of the world around us based on our sensory experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and past experiences. Our perception influences how we interpret events, situations, and interactions, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in response.

Feedback Loop
There is a cyclical relationship between the joy of life and perception. A positive perception can enhance the joy of life, leading to increased happiness and satisfaction, which in turn reinforces a positive perception. Similarly, cultivating joy in life can positively influence perception, leading to a more optimistic and appreciative outlook.

Practices such as mindfulness and self-awareness can help us become more attuned to our perceptions and cultivate a greater sense of joy in life. Overall, the interplay between the joy of life and perception underscores the importance of cultivating a positive mindset, embracing gratitude, and nurturing a deep appreciation for the richness and beauty of life’s experiences. By consciously shaping our perception and fostering joy in life, we can enhance our overall well-being and find greater fulfillment in the journey of existence.
