✨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. 💛

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Nice one @AuntGlow 🙌, you always create very thought provoking intentions, I love them! Thanks!


Ahh still haven’t made a start on the mind map, I did buy the fluro paper though 😂. Just been staring at the paper knowing it will require a lot of mental effort 😜

however, interestingly once I said I wanted to do the mind map and ‘called out’ where all my thoughts were - plus, needing to track results/ a list of stuff to get done, I have become a lot more settled with them. Perhaps they are just in a box waiting to be sorted rather than them all coming at me or they have finally moved to a different part of my brain rather than the endless circuit that loops and won’t process 😊

Even though I feel a bit better I would still like to attempt this mind map!

yesss loving the gym now, I am starting to look forward to my sessions now. Think I am nearly ready for group classes soon 🤔

The new shoes help too 😊

I was so surprised re the acupuncture, went from immensely elevated to calm. It was quite a noticeable change! (But yeah don’t try it on a day you want to be productive 🤣 is my only little tip lol)

it was a bit challenging just lying there for 20min, a part of me not sure I like just resting there or if I’d prefer remedial or deep tissue massage. But think I’ll go back soon!

@AuntGlow Good morning beautiful. How are you today? What plans if any do you have.

The tapering is very hard. Today I just had another drop in my medication. I’m scared about how the withdrawals will be considering it has been so brutal so far. I don’t know how to handle this. I’m worried. I really am trying hard but the withdrawals are beyond rough.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow I am still simply at just

SHOWING UP

as my intention

Just doing that has been tenuous with the level of suicidal ideation I struggle with. Though this week is better that the few before.

my new support worker today got confused in his diary and didnt show up. Lets hope its not indicative of how it will go in the future.

I have made all sorts of promises and "contracts" to myself about values and commitments in life. It is partly how I have spurned myself on despite many obstacles.

I did divorce but even the Catholic church accepted it was difficult circumstances and gave me an annulment., as they said I was not free (dealing with too much grief and trauma) to be able to make the marriage contract at the time. Only tried once.

I went with a church girfriend to a sewing group. I an really justify sewing anymore, my eyes arent good enough for threading needles, my neck seizes up. I have done a lot of sewing in my life, historically like all good girls.

@Chasingsunsets @ENKELI @Glisten @Cuddlebear @heartathome @AlwaysMyself @GezzaP @DownMoreThanUp @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @PeppyPatti @outlander @StuF @Meowmy and all interested and reading along ....

@Glisten again, we share a brain.

My mantra when I had the Godkids was "Is not do. Is try." Ex friend even managed to get me a cardboard Yoda from Woollies (she works there) for me as well as Yoda socks.

Never have I had so much in common with someone. You're the best friend I've never met!

How are you going Tomaatti? I hear you've been busy. Are you still doing the one day a week as a groundskeeper/gardener/allaroundamazeballs person? 🍅💌

I am getting intermittent issues with the forum, I thought it was my intorwebs at first but the slow loading only occurs on Sane. Poor Sane, we are really pushing those hamsters!

I passed up on the job interview for SCT. As soon as the recruiter messaged on Friday I got anxiety. I felt better on Saturday and replied that I would attend.
This morning the anxiety kicked in to overdrive and I have learned to accept it is my inner alarm letting me know that it is not a good idea. I have only ever had anxiety over a job interview once before and I also passed up on that interview. Later on I found out that I had dodged a bullet so I am thinking it's the same with this one.

Intorwebs In Perth!

@Chasingsunsets I love it, thank you for sharing.

Building with intention aligns with my Christian beliefs too so I am doubly grateful to you for tagging me my dear friend 😍

Re: ✨Intention Setting✨

@Cuddlebear my darling friend, I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. Tapering really is awful isn't it.

Do you mind if I pray for you?

I am sitting with you and comforting you 🫂
