How To Set an Intention
For me, setting an intention isn’t about forcing a mindset, it’s about centering, noticing, and aligning.
A simple, practical process you can follow anytime.
1. Centre yourself.
Before you choose an intention, pause. Take a breath and ask: How am I showing up for myself right now?
You need to know where you’re actually sitting emotionally, physically, and mentally before you try to shift anything.
2. Notice, don’t force.
You’re not trying to “be positive.” You’re observing what’s true. This step grounds you so your intention comes from clarity rather than pressure.
3. Choose your tool.
Pick whatever helps you tune in. If you use crystals, treat them like tactile prompts. Hold one, breathe, and consider the situation you want clarity around.
4. Ask the real question.
What do I actually want to draw in? Not what I should want. Not what looks good on paper. What’s the real thing you’re craving?
5. Go with your first pull.
Don’t overthink it. Choose the stone or symbol you’re instinctively drawn to. Let your subconscious lead; it’s often more honest than the conscious mind.
6. Anchor the intention.
Name it. Say it out loud or write it down. You’re signalling to your brain and body: This is where we’re going.
7. Understand the why.
This works because intention setting nudges your subconscious patterns. It’s the same pathway epigenetics uses. When you consciously choose a direction, your nervous system slowly reorganizes around it, learning what safety, clarity, and alignment feel like.
Remember: Energy goes where intention flows.
How To Gift an Intention
A meaningful way to honour someone’s moment, milestone, or season.
1. Start with the person, not the product.
Ask yourself: What season are they in? What are they navigating? What do they keep talking about without saying directly?
This helps you choose with care, not guesswork.
2. Choose an intention that supports their path.
Maybe they need grounding. Maybe clarity. Maybe courage, calm, or a fresh start. Pick the intention that makes you say, “Yes… this fits.”
3. Add a short message that names the intention.
A simple line is enough.
Something like:
“I chose this for you because I hope you feel supported as you step into what’s next.”
or
“This is a little reminder of what you already carry inside you.”
4. Let it be an invitation, not a prescription.
You’re not telling them how to feel. You’re offering a tool they can use in their own way. That’s what makes it powerful.
5. Keep it simple and sincere.
Gifting an intention is about presence, not perfection. The meaning is in the noticing.
6. Optional: Include the practice.
You can share the ‘How to Set an Intention’ steps if you want, so they know how to use it. Some people love the guidance. Others will make their own meaning from it.
The Science of Intention Setting
If you’d like to explore the science behind this practice, join me for my workshop: The Science of Intention Setting, where I bridge trichology, epigenetics, and self-awareness into a process that’s both measurable and meaningful.
You can learn more on my personal website, KerriJarrett.com, where I break down the deeper layers of what I call Hair Epigenetics, how stress, environment, and lived experience shape the story your hair tells long before you say a word.
You’ll also find my upcoming podcast Unbrushed Conversations, where we talk about the things most people avoid, identity, stress, growth, and the quiet truths that show up in the body before the mind catches on. This is the heart of the Kerri Jarrett brand:
science that feels, tools that anchor you, and conversations that help you see yourself more clearly.
If you’re ready to go deeper into the “why” behind your patterns, your hair, and your nervous system… this is your invitation.
