Has it ever happened that you are about to go out, are thinking about a taxi and when you step out of your home you manage to hail one immediately? Better yet, there is one parked right in front of you waiting for fare?
I’ve done it a number of times when I go to my favorite market where parking is a nuisance and manage to get a parking spot. On one occasion a car pulled out just as I drove in. I got the coveted parking spot when the market was at its busiest.
The secret?
Tapping into the Power of Intention
Our thoughts have energy and if we focus well and with intent and feeling, things do manifest.
This is not just a creative visualization technique. I use it for time management as well.
If you are a fan of the To Do List (like me) this time management tip is a must try.
Make a list of all the things you really need to do today.
Then allocate a specific period of time for each activity to avoid overwhelm. Apply the Chunk, Block and Tackle technique.
If a task will take longer than 12 minutes, assess how long it would really take and allocate the time accordingly.
Now for a unique step that changes the dynamics completely!
When you are about to start the activity, say to yourself either in your mind or loudly “I intend/It is my intention to complete this task in the best possible time carefully and thoroughly”.
You can also make the intention specific to the purpose of your task. The way I use it to get parking!
In other words, divide your work into reasonable bytes. Focus with undivided and complete attention on the task at hand. Maintain the intent of intention to complete the task.
If our intention is complete and absolute, the Universe supports us by sending us helpers to get the task done.
When the task is done, say a Gratitude Statement to seal the task.
In my case, after I get the parking, I silently say “I am grateful that I got a lovely parking place for my car”.
Ready to take up my challenge? Try this technique with the important items on your To Do List and see if it works for you.
PS. Also place the intention to come back and share your experience!

Excellent post! It’s so true that by setting our intention we can step into being the powerful creator beings that we are!
I am honored, Moira! Your visit and validation of the concept of intention is appreciated. Without intention, we are inhibited from reaching the peaks of our creativity and empowerment.
The power of intention is amazing and we are the creator of our life. Thank you for this article

Intending your energy is an important part of stepping into your power. Thanks for sharing this powerful article!
Thank you MarVeena and welcome to my blog. Quite often when a coaching client is stuck, I simply ask, ‘what is your intention?’. After a deep silence or a even a bit of beating around the bush, the intention does emerge and the blockage, whether psychological or physical starts to either melt or we enter the realm of possibility thinking.
lol, love that I intend to I intend to do, that is so true for tons of us.
Glad you liked the little picture that I created, Marilyn. Sometimes humor is the best way to show reality and yes, it is true for lots of us!
Great post! Everything starts with a thought. I use this technique daily. When I need help with traffic, I ask my angels, and the open spaces occur.
Welcome to my blog, Barbara. You are so right, everything does start with a thought and dreams can be translated into reality. One just has to ask our Guardian Angels to guide us and voila, the doors to success open.
I love this post, Vatsala! I’ve been doing this for years! Even for little things like catching a bus. It does work! Thanks for the reminder! I hope more folks will try this as well.
Welcome Alexandra! I used to do it a lot when I was younger without realizing that I was using the Power of Intention! It makes such a difference!
