A note from Sean
Try this today. Before one action today, such as sending an email or answering a question, pause for a breath and ask: what is my intention? Then act. Afterward, notice what you feel in your body, tight or open, and let that be information for next time. You don’t need to change anything. Just see the intention first.
Keep going: Karma and Intention and The Role of Motivation and Intention.
This suits anyone curious about how our choices shape how we feel, whether or not you use the word karma. If looking back at past actions stirs up guilt, shame, or grief, go gently. Stop when you need to.
