✨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. 💛

Thanks @AlwaysMyself Was on a mission to get it all done today!

Glad you had a successful day at work.

Sometimes it is just the small things that can brighten a day.

@Snowie I hate cleaning. Need to contact my gardener/ cleaner to get him to come over but can’t bear the thought of having him in the house at the moment. At least I ate. Cutting back on the smokes makes you hungry. Need to buy some healthy snacks. Will try to go to shops again tomorrow to buy them. Good on you for doing the cleaning.

@AlwaysMyself Glad you had a successful work day. I’m a morning person. Starting to get tired now. Spoke to psychiatrist today. She says my sister is being horrible to me.

Hope you get some rest @GezzaP . 🙂

When I want to buy healthy nibble snacks, my go-to is carrot and cucumber.

A funny workmate joked "where the rabbit?" a few weeks ago lol.

I was naughty this weekend though. With tiredness and stress I bought a few non-healthy snack treats. But thats OK cos I also have carrots to balance it out. I ate like 3 carrots whilst working today.

@AlwaysMyself I like celery with peanut butter. Not so keen on carrots and cucumber. Will get some celery tomorrow, if I can get in the shower again. Starting to think about dinner. Had 2 puffs of a smoke and put it out. Tasted foul.

Lol when these home away characters first come on they look like weeds but one year in they're all buff .......deep and meaningful looks on their faces from regular facials ......the usual lol

@AlwaysMyself @AuntGlow @GezzaP @Snowie @rav3n

When I just answered @Meowmy that I've been agitated too lately. I went to a cafe and I just started crying ! Tears were coming out of my eyes and they wouldn't stop ......

So I'm looking up all these words for myself....

I am not alone and unsafe now. I am simply feeling old pain. I have support in my life."

How dare I cry. Omg. I live in a safe place.

My dog doesn't bark

Kicked my husband out. I have the whole day to myself .......

Yes.

Longing for an @ENKELI muffin and humour .......

Hello Forums Family! 💖

Hoping you are all well and feeling lighter and brighter after exploring a few weeks of Finding Fun - I can really see how much this topic resonated with you, so we will definitely revisit it in the future. 🤩

Prior to Finding Fun we had a look at our Glimmers/Slowing Down, and it was so wonderful witnessing your curiosity and commitment to both nurturing yourselves and connecting to your joy.

This week, I want to encourage you to set your own intention based on one thing you really need right now.

For example, maybe you need to lock in and get some practical tasks done, or slow down completely so your body/mind can catch up after a busy period, or perhaps you're still enjoying playing with your inner child and want to allow them some more stage time? ✨

It's completely up to you this week!

Looking forward to hearing your intentions. 🫶

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow I think I've had a change of mindset. This week I intend to be open to the possibility of change, and prepare to lock in some new strategies.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow et al,

I am wanting to set time aside for job applications. I want to try and apply for 1 job a day if applicable.

Re-jig my cover letter, make sure my referees are still valid and see if I can get my services provider to pay for a police clearance. I might even push my luck and see if they'll come up with the funds to renew my WWC as well.
