2024 Intention – equanimity

​

Equanimity - From the Latin word aequanimitas, it means "evenness of mind" or "calmness of temperament." Considered one of the four cardinal virtues, alongside wisdom, courage, and justice. 

​

In 2024, I intend to cultivate and maintain a state of equanimity in all aspects of my life. This will require consistent effort and a commitment to personal mastery. I will draw inspiration from Philippians 4:6-7, which reminds me to not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, to present my requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. 

​

I will focus on developing a daily meditation and mindfulness practice and incorporating regular physical exercise into my routine to achieve this intention. I will strive to remain present and attentive to the needs of those around me while setting appropriate boundaries to maintain my well-being. 

​

Through consistent practice and steadfast dedication to equanimity, I am confident that I will be able to lead myself and others to a more peaceful and fulfilling life which, in turn, leads to higher levels of mental fitness and resilience.
