✨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. 💛

Hello lovely people,

Just a gentle check-in on how you're all feeling this Sunday evening. 🥰

I am going to pick a new theme for our intention setting next week, but keeping in the spirit of Glimmers, I would love to redirect you to the wonderful @Chasingsunsets' post that focuses on sharing daily highlights: https://saneforums.org/t5/Social-space/What-has-been-your-highlight-today-no-matter-how-big-or-small/td-p/1717234

It's such a lovely thread and there's some really wonderful conversations happening over there - please check it out!

*You're also more than welcome to keep sharing your glimmers here as well, reading them has definitely been one of my glimmers for the week! ✨

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Hi @AuntGlow I definitely don’t want to take away from your thread, it has such good vibes here! I even planned my Sunday intentions for the week 😊. I am not sure I have ever done that before, so thank-you! 🙏

Thanks for liking my thread and your kind feedback, it means a lot hope we can still have both ☺️

My glimmers:

- Able to lay in bed this morning and relax with my dog 💜

- seeing the fig bird on Thursday, then the blue faced honey eaters and fig bird together on Friday and seeing the bower bird and the awesome nest he had made. All very wholesome 🌻

- constantly being reminded of how lovely and welcoming everyone is in this forum. It’s been a pleasure meeting you all and thanks so much for all being so nice 💛

I look forward to hearing everyone else’s 🙏

Hello wonderful people ✨

Thank you so much for sharing your glimmers with me over the past few weeks, it's been so lovely to read about the things that make you smile and feel like you.

For the next couple of weeks, I would love to bring in the theme of Finding Fun.

i.e.: How can you set a small intention each week to allow your inner child an opportunity to play? 🎭🤸‍

This could be anything from playing a favourite game, making a mundane task more exciting by popping on some music, playing with your own children and really allowing yourself to be silly with them, or simply engaging in an activity you love but maybe haven't had the time for. 💃🎶👾🥎📚

Let that inner child out to play! (They deserve it)

I am SO excited to see what you come up with!

Yessss love this theme @AuntGlow 😍

Hmm with the weather warming up, I am able to go proper barefoot again - and with some rain forecast for this week, I'm thinking if it's not too cold, I wanna go put my toesies into some mud!! Maybe even make mud pies 😝

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Love this @AuntGlow, thanks so much for tagging me here! ❤️

Like @Jynx I'm think about the warmer weather and I have some lovely parks near me and I want to spend some time in nature soaking up some sunshine or rain hehe, however it works out. I also saw a handheld gaming thingy that I am interest in getting so I can become a serious gamer some day!

Thanks RiverSeal 🙂

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow @Jynx I feel kind of...challenged by this for reasons I'm not sure of yet.

But...I think I'd like to "play" by allowing myself some time to game. I have a Playstation, a whole stack of games and a Nintendo Switch that I haven't played in a long time. It's part of my safety plan, it's something I used to enjoy doing with my brother, and with my Grandad. We both had these hand-held Tetris games from Chickenfeed, and we'd try to beat each other's highest scores. So, I'm setting the intention of playing just once this coming week.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I forget my inner child it was so long ago before I got sick. @AuntGlow Adult responsibilities burden me. I will try though.
