Living with Intent
Living with Intent: My Somewhat Messy Journey to Purpose, Peace, and Joy | Mallika Chopra
5 posts | 3 read | 20 to read
Im trying to meditate one day but urgent thoughts keep intruding. Dont forget to take cupcakes to school! I have to prepare for my presentation for the wellness conference! Is that lunch with the other moms tomorrow or next week? My to-do list is stampeding through my mind, trampling any chance of tranquility. I feel overwhelmed, yes, but theres more: I feelguilty. Guilty that Im taking on too much, guilty that Im not doing anything well, guilty that Im giving short shrift to my kids, my husband, my job. And what about you, Mallika? a quiet voice asks. How are you shortchanging yourself?Living with Intent is a chronicle of Mallika Chopras search to find more meaning, joy, and balance in life. She hopes that by telling her story, she can inspire others with her own successes (and failures) as well as share some of the wisdom she has gathered from friends, experts, and family along the way people like her dad, Deepak, as well as Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Arianna Huffington, Andrew Weil, and Dan Siegel. She also provides a practical road map for how we can all move from thought to action to outcome. Each chapter is devoted to one step on her journey and another piece of her INTENT action plan: Incubate, Notice, Trust, Express, Nurture, and Take Action. Chopras insights and advice will help us all come closer to fully living the lives we truly intend.From the Hardcover edition.

I must admit that, although this came highly recommended, I was a little skeptical. While this short book was not chock-full of profound yogic quotes, it was something perhaps even better: a very practical and down to Earth book that was inspiring while being very realistic. I especially liked the anecdotes from the author's personal experience.

Settling in with this book this morning. I loved the introduction, so that's a good sign.

Listened to this on audio. Chopra's story was both relateable and inspiring, helping me to live more mindfully, and though she was an uneven narrator, I enjoyed the audio production.
