QUICK GUIDE
Same situation, different intentions
Let’s get specific. We know that it can sometimes be difficult to put an intention into practice. What does it actually mean to choose more strength, love, or calm in an ordinary situation? That is why we have gathered some examples of how these different intentions can be applied in everyday life.
There is no single right choice for a given situation, and therefore no single intention that fits "best." Before a date, you might want to feel more secure in yourself, dare to be more open, or let go of overthinking and be more present. Focus on what you specifically need more of.
Use the guide below as inspiration and choose the intention that feels most relevant to you for your purpose
AS THE GIFT
The Anchor is perfect for someone facing something new or challenging—perhaps a sister or girlfriend starting a new job, or a friend moving to a new city. When facing major decisions, this intention serves as a reminder of her own strength and the importance of trusting herself, even when the path forward isn't entirely clear. It is a lovely gift for when you want to say "you've got this" without needing to say much else.
Simply put, for someone you love—a partner, sister, mother, daughter or close friend. The intention can symbolize the love between you, but also serve as a reminder for her to show herself the same care she so readily gives to others. A gift that means a little more than just the piece of jewelry itself.
Serenity Now is perfect for someone with a lot on their plate or in the midst of an intense period. Perhaps a friend juggling work and family, studying for an important exam, or simply having had a few stressful months. It serves as a gentle reminder that it is okay to slow down and not always have to get everything done. A thoughtful gift for someone you wish a little more calm and balance.
AT WORK
Some days at work call for a little extra self-assurance. Perhaps you are giving a presentation, speaking your mind in an important meeting, or making a decision you feel unsure about. The Anchor can serve as a reminder to trust in your abilities and have the courage to stand by them—without letting nervousness or the opinions of others make you doubt yourself.
It is easy to be hard on yourself when things don’t go as planned or when you feel you should be achieving more. Soft One can serve as a reminder to give yourself a little more breathing room and not let a mistake or a bad day become a bigger deal than it needs to be. You don’t have to do everything perfectly to do a good job. Sometimes, you simply need to speak a little more kindly to yourself.
When your calendar is full and everything feels equally urgent, it is easy to try to multitask. "Serenity Now" can serve as a reminder to pause and take things one at a time. Prioritize what actually needs to be done now and let the rest wait. A calmer mind often makes the workday easier to handle.
AT THE DATE
It is easy to feel a bit nervous or shy before a date and start wondering what the other person will think of you. The Anchor can serve as a reminder that you don’t need to be anyone other than yourself. You don’t need to perform or adapt in order to be liked. Stand firm in who you are and trust that you are enough, just as you are.
Soft One may feel like the most natural intention when love is on the agenda. Wear it as a reminder to dare to be open, show interest, and let someone a little closer. At the same time, love is also about your relationship with yourself and remembering your own worth. Make room for both curiosity about the other person and care for yourself.
For those of us who tend to overthink things before or during a date—wondering what to say, what your date is thinking, or whether that last thing you said came out a bit awkwardly—Serenity Now serves as a reminder to let go of the analysis and be more present in the moment. You don’t need to know where everything is heading; it’s enough to simply tune in to how things feel right now.
IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Some days, it is easy to let a difficult conversation, an unexpected setback, or someone else’s mood affect the rest of your day. The Anchor can serve as a reminder to try and maintain your own footing when things around you feel chaotic. Write down three things you know you can influence right now, and start with one of them. Not everything needs to feel under control for you to feel secure in yourself.
It is easy to devote a lot of time and care to others while forgetting about yourself. Soft One can serve as a reminder to do something kind for yourself, too—like taking a walk without a destination, reading a few pages of a book, or saying no to something you simply don’t have the energy for, without feeling guilty. Prioritizing your own well-being isn’t selfish; often, it is precisely what gives you the energy to be there for others as well.
When the days blur together and there is always something more that ought to be done, it can be hard to truly unwind. Serenity Now can serve as a reminder to slow down occasionally—to put your phone away during dinner or go for a walk without headphones. You don’t need to fill every spare moment with the next item on your list; a little more calm often begins with just a few minutes of being present.
