✨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. 💛

A day late...

This week I intend to get back on track with sleep (I was awake until 4am this morning) and a meaningful routine (avoiding doomscrolling).

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

No stress! @Dimity Last night was so busy for us over here (we had lots of new people to welcome!), so I was unable to start the thread myself!

These are great intentions... I want to do the same. Let's keep each other updated? 🥰

I have been reflecting on our Sunday Intention Setting and was thinking that changing it from once a week to once a month might be more impactful? That way, we all have time to sit with and explore our intentions in more depth. What are your thoughts? 💛✨

In response to: Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow I like the idea of changing it to monthly.

Personally, I've felt a little...disheartened at times when I haven't been successful or worked towards or on my intentions or goals during the week, and I think knowing that I have time and can take it slower and work at it gradually, would help with that a little.

In response to: Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow I think it could shift the emphasis eg from incremental behavioural changes to more ambitious relational shifts. Big boost in degree of difficulty. Guess it depends on what you're trying to achieve.

In response to: Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Okay! I appreciate your thoughts so much @Dimity @NightFury. 💕

I would like to encourage that the intentions are still small and incremental, but with more time to explore/feel into them @Dimity. I would love to see you all check-in with one another throughout the weeks to see how you're going - I can also do this too.

Do you find weekly check-ins helpful? I am so happy to do whatever feels good for everyone - that's why I am checking in too! ✨☺️

@AuntGlow personally I'm grateful for follow-up and feedback...
