The Power of Intentional Choices
The Power of Intentional Choices: Becoming the Best Version of Yourself
Life is a series of choices. Some are small and seemingly insignificant—what to eat for breakfast, which route to take to work. Others feel monumental, shaping our careers, relationships, and sense of self. Yet, the common thread between them all is intentionality.
Being intentional means acting with purpose, awareness, and clarity. It means pausing before reacting, considering the long-term impact of our choices, and aligning our decisions with our values and goals. When we make choices intentionally, we are no longer at the mercy of habit, impulse, or external pressures—we are the authors of our own lives.
Why Intentional Decisions Matter
Clarity and Alignment
Intentionality forces us to examine what we truly want, rather than what society, friends, or circumstances push us toward. It helps align our daily actions with our higher goals, values, and beliefs.Personal Growth
Every intentional choice is an opportunity to grow. Choosing patience over anger, honesty over convenience, or self-care over exhaustion strengthens our character and shapes the person we are becoming.Confidence and Empowerment
When you make decisions intentionally, you gain a sense of control over your life. Confidence grows because your actions are consistent with your values, and you know that you are living purposefully rather than drifting aimlessly.Healthier Relationships
Intentional choices extend to how we treat others. Deciding to listen actively, forgive sincerely, or communicate thoughtfully can transform relationships and create a positive ripple effect in your community.
How to Practice Intentionality
Pause and Reflect: Before making decisions, ask yourself: Does this align with who I want to be?
Define Your Values: Knowing what you stand for makes decision-making clearer and faster.
Set Boundaries: Intentional living requires protecting your time, energy, and priorities.
Embrace Mindfulness: Being fully present in the moment allows you to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
Learn from Mistakes: Not every decision will be perfect. Intentionality isn’t about perfection—it’s about conscious effort and growth.
The Ripple Effect
Intentional living isn’t just about improving yourself—it impacts everyone around you. A person who acts with integrity, kindness, and purpose inspires others to do the same. Each decision, no matter how small, contributes to a life that feels meaningful, empowered, and whole.
Closing Thoughts
Becoming a better person doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with small, deliberate choices, repeated consistently. By being intentional with your decisions—big or small—you create a life that reflects your values, supports your growth, and leaves a positive mark on the world.
Remember: Your best life isn’t a destination—it’s a series of intentional steps, taken every single day.

“Be Intentional About Life”
Gut Feeling…
It all began with me wanting to feel better: “Inside and Out.”
It all started with major gas and what felt like mega constipation. I knew then it was time to make a change towards healthier eating habits. I was like a skinny fat person inside my body literally. My cholesterol was border line high, my stomach and acid reflux would act up for anything, so I changed my diet. For a year, I ate no meat only seafood and fish which landed me in the pescatarian department which in return was great, my digestive system was back on point, I was going to the restroom regularly the only downside was I was hungrier faster which lead me to my smoothie loving self. A “Life-changer” in my eyes. I found balance. The smoothies would fill me up and give me a healthy full feeling not bloated or gassy, but more of an extra boost of energy type of feeling. I got comfortable!
With life happening I became slack with my eating habits; since April of 2021, I have been eating and drinking everything that has led me back to constipation. This is why I am blogging today, in case anyone else is experiencing relapse and starting their health journey again. My goal is to be transparent about my health and wellness journey. I am embracing that I am human and not perfect. I want to share what I believe will help someone else. The reality is I love food and cheeses BUT I choose to eat better for long-life and the environment.
Living and eating healthy is an everyday choice. If you’re ready to start this journey with me let’s do it: “Get Fit and Stay Active” . Plant Based it is for the win.
