By Candace Partridge. Many years ago, I became aware of some of the old beliefs I had been trusting in since childhood that were no longer working for me but I didn’t know I had the power or ability to replace them with ones that better suited me today. I wanted to do something different and believed I could try but didn’t know where to start. I began setting intentions. It seemed a safe and easy first step and it changed my life. Every few weeks I would work on a new intention. Slowly I began to recognize a faint inner voice I never knew existed. This whisper of intuition, set me on a course to change deep, destructive patterns that entered my life as a child and were now crushing me and my family.

by Natasha Akery. I am a high school English teacher, wife, and mother. I live a beautiful and blessed life with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), panic disorder, and generalized depression.

My real entrée to a formal meditation practice came when I was a stressed out entrepreneur on the verge of burnout. I knew nothing in my outer circumstances were going to change and I was desperate for some peace. That is when I attended my first meditation training with Deepak Chopra and the Chopra Center. It was a game changer.

By Nicky Martinez. As a full time university professor Nicky received her PhD in Psychology while raising three children (all under the age of 8). After her oldest was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3, she became an avid advocate for connecting and supporting families of children with autism. She definitely understands the incredible demands of motherhood and the science behind focus and goal-setting. What’s most important to Nicky? Being the best mom and wife to her family.

"Live with purpose. Discover your potential. Design your life" This all sounds really important, right? We know if we took on the challenge we’d be a better person – we’d be happier, healthier, more at peace. So, why is it that nurturing our intentions seems to be the last thing we think about every day?
