✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Ooh, those sound yum! @Junie

I can hear you are doing your absolute best to nurture yourself right now. Going to therapy is hard, but you're showing up, which is huge.

I think anxiety around therapy is very common. Sometimes I have really big resistance to going if I don't want to feel what I am experiencing fully. But so much can shift from being in that space. I wouldn't be surprised if rest comes easier as you continue to go.

We are always here if you need to talk in between sessions or when you can't get to sleep - know that you're not alone. 💛

@AuntGlow

I write the things I am proud of in a book. On the front it says Hope. I like that I am writing them down because I can re-read them. I write my daily affirmation on a seperate pad of paper. I change my affirmation each week. I think it is helping but it’s kinda hard to tell.

hello @AuntGlow

my husband threw a basket full of mum`s ornaments in the bin (he saw how upset I was, so he has not done this again)

what to do with mum's ornaments? -- is a good question,

our local op shop does not want them as lots of mum`s ornaments come from there over the years

Love to see if anyone would love them

@tyme , @Ru-bee , @rav3n , @Jynx

Awwww @Shaz51 , I'm so sorry to hear this. I can imagine how upsetting it would've been!

@AuntGlow Thanks for checking in.

Its been a tough week and unfortunately my therapy session was anything but supporting. I'm going to have to find a new therapist. The one I'm with triggered me too much and was surprisingly dismissive.

I have spoken to my DH and he is supporting me to find a new one

I have done a couple of things for myself and tomorrow will be aimed at resting .

I got a couple of good books from the op shop and have my shopping list ready so I can chill asap.

Just need to work out my sleep and things will get easier to handle. Andddd that must help to get me to a place to get a new therapist and hopefully connect and be able to do some good healing work.

Good evening, everyone! ✨

It's that time of the week again (already, I know!). Because we do this so frequently, perhaps you'd like to consider this thread as your weekly check-in point.

You don't need to participate or share every week; however, you might like to acknowledge to yourself where you're at, what you're needing, and how far you have come. I know you are all working really hard to manage challenging feelings and circumstances, yet you keep showing up - proud aunt over here. 🥰

So, without further ado:

1. How did your intention sit with you this week, what did you explore or find?

2. Is there anything you are needing more support with?

3. What is your intention for the week ahead?

1. Since I didn't set up an intention for this week, though I would say for this one it would've been to get used to the feeling of living in a new environment (this accomodation) once I moved out of my previous place. What I explored so far was the amount of different stores and restaurants that are located nearby! There even seems to be a wide variety of Korean restaurants and boba shops here nearby too, which I think is amazing!! 😄

2. hmm for my mental health and the IBS symptoms that I continue to have, yeah...but I know I can always reach out to lifeline and stuff whenever I feel that its necessary

3. my intention for this week ahead is to hopefully make ginger tea. I learnt that ginger tea helps with your motility (when you have IBS like myself). The ginger I was looking at in both woollies and Coles here costs freakin $29 per kg! 🤯 how is that even possible?? I didn't end up buying it anyway because in no way would a ginger cost that much, especially cause its very small in general too.. too small for it to be expensive.. I'm gonna as well go to Aldi and see if the ginger they sell there is more affordable than the ones here..

I didn’t set an intention for last week because I failed miserably the week before and it left me feeling really bad @AuntGlow.

I need quite a bit of support but not here.

My intention for this week is going to work everyday. Also trying to eat better. Plu try and work on my feelings.

Oh, please don't feel bad! It's honestly fine. I didn't set an intention last week, and the one from the week before - I really struggled with. @Captain24 💛

You have been showing up to work despite everything you are feeling, and I think that is something to be proud of. These intentions are really wonderful, but remember, it's okay if you don't achieve them exactly how you envision - you're human and that is allowed.

I just hate myself when I fail at something that I tell someone I would do. @AuntGlow. It means I have let them down
