Which category do your intentions fall into: being, having, or doing? If you have a long list, my guess is that many of your intentions are about having -- getting -- rather than ways of being. In my view, that's a backward approach. What I mean is: desire to *get* things usually springs out of a deeper desire to feel a particular way -- to generate a particular way of being. Why not start with the way of being first, and then let your having and doing intentions spring forth out of the way you're being?

If you cut out the middle man of *getting* and go directly to *being*, you may find that your intention list suddenly gets much shorter and more manageable!

Can you look over your list and see if many of them have in common an underlying desired way of being (or feeling)? Look at each of your manifestions and ask yourself, "what would I be being if I manifested this?"
