✨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. 💛

@avant-garde ... how can I buy the plushies??? (I would have totally asked if I could when in Japan 😅 if I spoke Japanese or knew any of the staff lol. So many toy themes that I cant get here).

@Glisten there is no such thing as "too many plushies". 😉

Alas, I have had to sometimes consider which of mine I can bear to part with and donate... space is an issue lol. I use some as cushions or pillows 🤷‍♀️

@AlwaysMyself my granddaughter who speaks fluent Japanese 🇯🇵 tells me the same thing.
Bowing Deer 🦌 or Plushies? There is only so much you can fit in your suitcase 🧳 😏

My finding fun is just spending time with my kids @AuntGlow Nothing fancy.

Between their schooling and part time jobs, finding that time can be difficult. So even if it's just a few minutes each day, remembering why I keep going, why I fight, why I'm still here.

Hi @Snowie @AuntGlow how are you today? I’m sitting here with my cat on my lap putting off lunch. Had the usual battle with the smokes first thing this morning but only had one since 8am. Small steps.

Hi @GezzaP

I'm ok. Just catching up on some washing and ironing. Such fun times!

How are you today?

Well done on the smokes. Small steps can lead to giant leaps. You are trying, be proud of that.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@Snowie Oh washing and ironing how exciting not. I’m ok I guess but didn’t manage to shower. About to have lunch as I’m really hungry.

In response to: Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I guess that's what happens when you have kids @GezzaP More and more washing!

Perhaps the shower can happen tonight.

Just had lunch too. Watching you tube videos now
