✨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. 💛

Hi @AuntGlow, thanks for the tag! I really like this one! Without even realising or consciously planning it as an intention, I think I’ve already made at least one for myself for this week!

Plus PT (yes still sore from last week 🙊) and going to get some acupuncture 🙏

My intention is to stop smoking on Friday. @AuntGlow .

It is hard while I’m hypomanic. Woke up early again this morning. Used my hypomanic energy to tidy up before cleaner does a Spring clean.

Will have breakfast and meds soon, then go for a short walk even though walking hurts my back. It is good for my back.

Thinking of having a spa bath, washing and trimming my hair later today.

My goal is to walk more and get back doing yoga when my back is better. Also want to get back into gardening now it’s Spring. Love Spring snd Autumn. Goal for today is to try to open up to psychologist. @Dimity @AuntGlow @Appleblossom @Chasingsunsets @Appleblossom @ENKELI

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@GezzaP how did you go with your psychologist?

Hoping your back is getting better, yoga is supposed to be good for bad backs isn't it? I need to make sure I don't sit or stand for too long or my back starts aching.

Look after yourself 🙂

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Yes yoga good for back and shoulders @ENKELI I do physio exercises too. Getting very tired. Off to bed within the hour.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@GezzaP @AuntGlow @Dimity @Chasingsunsets And all

my goal is still just to keep showing up

I have had so much doubt and feeling hesitant like withdrawing again and unsure

I had a good day, so it is great confirmation, just keep making reasonable plans and showing up
