✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Hello lovely people,

I have been reflecting on some ways we can support you all through our recovery-oriented way of connecting on the forums, and thought that creating a weekly intention setting/reflection conversation could be really helpful. 🥰

Intention-setting can allow us to more mindfully focus our attention onto the things we would like to explore more of (without too much pressure!). And when we do so within community, it can help us to feel more supported as we go about exploring new habits and ideas.

Now, this isn't about showing up perfectly or reaching all of our 'goals' overnight, but rather, exploring what is possible, what we enjoy, and how we can feel more safely connected to ourselves.

So, what will this look like exactly?

1. Set your intention for the week. For example, I am going to practice allowing myself 5 minutes a day to slow down.

2. Reflect. You can do this throughout the week via your notes app, a journal, or here on the forums. *Notice what feels good, what doesn't, and why.

3. Share the following Sunday. Let us know what you were able to explore and what came up for you/if you have any questions or need some support.

Remember - there is no right or wrong! It's so fine if all you did was hold the intention in the back of your mind - change takes time. I would love you all to have fun with this and to explore things from a place of curiosity and compassion. 💛

@Junie How did you go with the intentions you set? *Remember, it's okay if you didn't get them perfectly done - we're all about progress here. 🥰

@AuntGlow my intention to be kinder to myself...is a work in progress. Negative thoughts are tough to shake.

I haven't journalled either, so haven't met that intention.

To be honest I don't know what my gut is saying needs to be my focus right now. I think I'm going to stick with the two intentions I have for this week and continue to work towards those.

I am working on self compassion too. It is difficult to believe the positive things when you are used to being so hard on yourself. Hugs hun

Trying not to beat myself up too much.

I did make these pumpkin cheese puffs popcorn and patty cakes kids helped with that one.

Other than that just struggled

And now it's silly o'clock and sleep is not anywhere in sight though I'm exhausted.

Trying to make myself sleepy without getting frustrated or angry. My mind is like a bloody video soon as I close my eyes playing over the day or anything really.

This week I'm going crazy and I have therapy tomorrow so hopefully that session will help. Although is it normal to get therapy anxiety? I have no idea what keeping me awake...

Small steps

Therapy I can do that.

@Dimity Wow, that is so interesting! 'The details don't matter, it's the attitude' - I am going to try and implement this throughout my day, I love it!

Have you found a moment that has sparked joy this week? 💛

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

This is amazing!! I would love to hear some of the things you are proud of. Do you write them in a phone or journal?

And what have you noticed has changed about how you feel since writing things down? @Oaktree 🤩

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Thank you for sharing this with us @Shaz51. Hmm... what does your heart say when you consider what to do with mum's ornaments? ❤️

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Self-compassion is tough... but it doesn't always have to look soft and soothing, sometimes it can be fiery and assertive. Like 'F that! I am showing up for myself today and doing what is best for my body and mind'. Sometimes tapping into that space can be a helpful segue into self-nurturing. @Oaktree @NightFury 🥰
