✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I know you have been working on striking a balance between effort and ease @Captain24. How did you go with this over the weekend whilst you were away? ✨

I am so happy to read that you have been allowing yourself some time to regulate and create stillness before doing all that you have to do. @NightFury Is a hot drink by the fire on the cards this evening? 🥰

How did your assignments go @Oaktree? And how are you feeling now that your support worker and psychologist are back? I am sure that is helping with feeling supported. 🥰

I did really well with it Saturday afternoon when I got to Kiama and I did well Sunday @AuntGlow Spending time watching the ocean. Today was a bit harder. Just over socialised and raining a lot but I’m just going to chill for the afternoon. I had to push myself today to be nice all day but other than the anxiety of driving so far I’ve been doing a lot of self care

Ah, that sounds so calming. @Captain24

I understand the irritation that can come about from too much people time haha. It sounds like you did a great job of balancing being a present friend, but also coming back to yourself.

Amazing work. 🤩

@AuntGlow slowing down... I'm often in functional freeze but a few days ago I went into acute freeze when needing to return a phone call. I don't think that's what you meant.

Still looking for self-soothing methods, it's a work in progress.

@AuntGlow I also took a day off work last and gave myself permission to stop! It wasn't about slowing down...I needed to come to a complete stop and take care of myself.

Sometimes I wonder whether slowing down, giving myself permission to stop is giving in...

I feel really unmotivated at the moment and I'm finding myself having a hard time getting out of bed, getting moving and wanting to stay out of bed. But I push myself because I fear that if I give myself permission, I won't be able to find the momentum again. I don't know, just thoughts.

I haven't had a cuppa by the fire this week. It's been a busy and challenging week so far. But I've been trying to find other ways to slow down - like spending an hour working on my diamond dot.

Hello Party People! 🥳

I hope you have all enjoyed the last few weeks of practicing slowing down. Whether you've shared your experience or worked on this alone, know that I am really proud of all of your efforts - working towards any intention that veers away from our comfort zone takes guts (remember that!).

Now, for the next few weeks, I would love it if we could explore our Glimmers.

But what are Glimmers, I hear you ask?

(I expect most of you will know what I am on about, but feel free to play along. 😂)

So, now that we're all across Glimmers I encourage you to get curious about what they might look like for you and pop them here as you notice them come up - excited to read your answers! 💛

Just had a glimmer @AuntGlow. Gave the dogs a treat and Pix was so excited.

@AuntGlow

I had a glimmer on Friday. My hubby bought me a pencil sharpener and just because flowers.
