INTEGRITY

Written By vijay sridharan

Integrity means being honest and acting in alignment with our personal principles and values. It is a quality of wholeness, of being undivided. That means that there is congruence between what we mean and what we say, and between what we believe and what we do.

Inspiration for practicing integrity 

  • Say no to things you don’t want to do.

  • Notice when you are trying to hedge the truth; instead, take a breath and say the thing you really mean.

  • Notice where your behavior isn’t in alignment with your values. 

  • Admit mistakes when you make them.

  • Keep your word.

  • Write a personal mission statement.

Self-reflection

What are my core values? Which qualities do I hope to be remembered by?

““Don’t treat people the way you want to be treated, treat people how they want to be treated.””
— Kim Katrin Milan

About Calm Cards 
About Calm Cards 

We created these cards as a way to intentionally cultivate the qualities that support us in showing up for ourselves and others, in ways that feel nourishing and meaningful. 

We encourage you to engage with the Calm Cards in whatever way feels best. Here are a few ways that we love to use them:

  • Pick a card in the morning to set an intention for the day

  • Pick a card on a Sunday to set an intention for the week

  • Pick a card on the first day of the month to set an intention for the month

  • Pick a card when you’re feeling stuck, to see what happens when you infuse more of that quality into your day

  • Pick a card when you’re struggling with another person to explore what qualities might bring more ease into your relationship

  • Pick a card and use it as journaling prompt

  • Pick a card and use it in your meditation practice

  • Pick a card to use with a partner or group — like a book club, but an intention club; connect daily or weekly or monthly and share your experiences

  • Send a card to a friend who may need some inspiration

Check out the entire collection of Calm Intentions here.

We’ve also put all of the cards in a lovely booklet for you to use as a mindfulness tool, a journal full of inspiration for your practice. Download the Calm Intentions Journal here!
