Hannah’s Daily Note

With the New Year just around the corner, and Ramadan coming up soon, many of us will be thinking about goal-setting.

But here’s why I want to make the case for setting intentions, rather than goals: goals tend to be rigid and invite ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking – if we fall at the first hurdle, we often give up.

But intentions allow us much more chance of success. If we set a broad intention, like ‘I’m going to prioritise my physical health this year’, that allows room for imperfection. It’s possible to keep that intention even on your worst day.

That’s why, in my Return to Ramadan workshop, we focus on setting intentions for Ramadan – not goals. If you’re interested in joining me on the 14th January, you can sign up here.
