✨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. 💛

I’m tired only slept 5 1/2 hours. Been keeping busy this morning. Got a Spring Cleaner coming this afternoon.
Walked up shops, got two solar battery quotes. One of them has bombarded me with emails and I’m really sick of the hard sell. Think I’ll go with someone else. I hate pushy people.

Organised appt with Chinese acupuncturist to see if he can help with my back and neck. I’m in pain.

Cooking a rack of lamb and roast veggies for lunch (I eat my main meal at lunch time).

Will garden and maybe do some Spanish lessons while cleaner is here.

Take care and keep on going on.

"just keep making reasonable plans and showing up"

the last time I saw a friend or family member was 4th August

I've been waiting on the social support I was referred for since December, the service loses referrals and often doesn't respond but I seem to have broken through and expect a meet up next week

so I might achieve my intention of being open to change

it's been agony

@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.


Hello @Dimity!

I am curious to see how you're going with this intention? How are change and new strategies sitting with you this week? 🥰

@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.


Hi @ENKELI ✨

I know we talked a little bit about your job applications in another thread, but very keen to hear your updates! Do you have the same intention this week or will you explore another? 💖

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 🙏


Helloooo @Chasingsunsets 🌞

How are you?

I can see you've been working hard at the gym and I love this for you. 💪

Ooh, I am thinking about acupuncture! Has it been helpful??

What is your intention for this week? 🤩

Being kind to myself


Ah, I love this. How are you going with this intention @Appleblossom? 💖

Do you have another for this week, or would you like to keep exploring inner kindness?

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


Hello @GezzaP,

How is walking, yoga, and gardening feel for you at the moment? And were you able to open up a bit to your psychologist? 🥰

Oh, and what's your intention for this week? 🤩
