Setting Your Monthly Intention For May
As we step into a brand-new month, I want to welcome you to May!
A month filled with new beginnings, blooming possibilities, and opportunities to grow into the best version of YOU. 🌷
Here in the Be You! Community Room, we believe that every month is a fresh page in the story of our lives. It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and set our intentions with clarity and purpose.
Together, we’re creating a space where we can step into our authentic selves, embrace self-improvement, and move closer to our dreams.
So, let’s talk about setting your monthly intention for May.
Why Setting an Intention Matters
“Where focus goes, energy flows.” – Tony Robbins
Think of an intention as the compass guiding your energy. Without it, we can find ourselves drifting, reacting to life instead of living it purposefully.
But with a clear intention, we gain control over our mindset, actions, and ultimately, our outcomes.
Setting an intention doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s not about perfection, but about progress. It’s about defining what matters most to you this month and committing to showing up for yourself.
Reflect Before You Set
Before diving into May’s intentions, let’s take a moment to reflect on the past month:
What went well for you in April? Celebrate your wins, big or small. Maybe you showed kindness to someone or made progress on a personal goal.
Where did you face challenges? Challenges aren’t failures! They’re opportunities to grow, learn, and refine your approach.
What did you learn about yourself last month? Every month reveals a little more about who we are and what we’re capable of.
By looking back with gratitude and curiosity, you can move forward into May with clarity and confidence.
Crafting Your May Intention
Ask yourself:
What do I want to feel this month?
What do I want to focus on?
What small steps can I take to move closer to my goals?
Your intention can be as simple or as specific as you like.
Here are a few examples to inspire you:
“In May, I will prioritize self-care and say no to things that drain my energy.”
“This month, I choose to embrace progress over perfection in my personal growth.”
“I will practice gratitude daily and find joy in the little things.”
“May will be the month I take the first step toward my dream career.”
Remember, it’s not about doing everything at once. It’s about choosing one meaningful focus that aligns with your values and aspirations.
A Quick Visualization Exercise
Close your eyes for a moment.
Take a deep breath in, and exhale slowly.
Now, imagine it’s the last day of May. You’re looking back on the month with pride and gratitude.
What does that version of you look like?
What have you accomplished?
How do you feel?
Hold onto that vision as you set your intention. Let it guide you throughout this month.
My Intention for May
In April I was really focused on creating "A Course In Self-Love" and sharing it with the world.
So, my Intention for May is to slow down and focus on what my mind, body and spirit need.

A Final Reminder
As you move through this month, keep this in mind...
“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.” – Sophia Bush
You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up for yourself, one day at a time.
May is YOUR month to bloom. 🌸
Step into it with intention, self-love, and the confidence that you are capable of amazing things.
Here’s to a month of growth, gratitude, and being unapologetically YOU!!
