I wonder if I am struggling with conflicting information? (or maybe it's not conflicting, but I am acting as if it is??)

From Harmonic Wealth he suggests writing your intentions on an index card that you carry with you. Then he says to write your "Critical Six" on the other side that will help you get to your intentions. It starts to feel like a Type-A "To Do" list to me and I start getting panicked thinking of six things I need to DO to get me on my way. I don't know what to do with all of them (that is why I am using IM).

This does seem conflicting to me. I mean, it makes sense to have your goals for the day and work on them, but when they are directly relating to my intentions, I feel lost, because I don't KNOW how to get there, but I am trying to stay in a positive emotional state so I can get there.

This morning I didn't know what to meditate on because my intentions are feeling like a To Do list. (I intend to talk with licensing.... etc... that's not very inspiring!! lol)

I think I may have to go back to the DIY thread and re-read and get back to basics again.

Has this happened to anyone else in the beginning?
