Manifestation Monday: Name It Before the Week Names It
A short reflection to set intention before Monday sets it for you.

Monday will offer you a direction whether or not you choose one. Emails, requests, and other people's urgency are always ready with a plan for your attention.
Naming your intention first is not a ritual for its own sake. It is how you keep the week yours.
This week's reflection
Write one sentence: this week, I am protecting ______. Keep it specific enough to act on and small enough to keep.
Then name the first commitment that would threaten it, and decide today how you will answer.
Carry it visibly
Put the sentence where you will see it — the first page of the planner, the top of your notes, the mirror.
Intention held privately tends to dissolve by midweek. Intention placed in view keeps making decisions on your behalf.
Set the intention while the week is still quiet. It will be louder later.
