An intention is what you're practicing toward: "Meet anger with patience", "Sleep without scrolling", "Twenty minutes, every morning". It gives your sits a direction.
Create one
- On Intentions, press New intention.
- Give it a title, an optional description and an icon.
- Save. It appears under Active intentions and on your Dashboard.
Link sits to it
Link a sit from the Timer before you start, from the reflection after, or from the Journal later. A single sit can support several intentions. Each intention counts its sits and lists them, so you can see exactly what moved it.
