✨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

There's one I'd like to change up a little...

Continue the routine of going to the gym of a morning.

Sit for half an hour each day with a coffee after work and just take a moment to breathe.

Drink more water.

Read each night before bed.

Do my home work set by my counsellor - my journalling task to write about my best work day, take a few days to meet my own needs, make a list of the skills that I have which are transferrable.

Re: ✨Intention Setting✨

These are wonderful intentions!! @NightFury

I might follow a few of these myself. 👀

Please keep me updated with your progress. 🫶

@AuntGlow

I think there has been a change in my showing up. I always tried to do right, but recently I have been showing up with more of me, and expressing my emotions and needs more, than only meeting other people’s needs. That said, I am in leadership tomorrow and Sunday. I have an extra session with my psychiatrist Friday, cos I need it. It’s the first time I ever was offered an extra session as the secretary could tell how distressed I was. Mostly I was afraid of CATT team escalation, so always down regulating myself.

Showing up is still enough for my intention, but I was so distracted and distressed talking with psychiatrists secretary this afternoon that I actually forgot to go to my physio appointment for a few hours. I guess I will call them tomorrow.

@AuntGlow no craft group but I've also joined an exercise class.

I lost sight of my reading intention. Hopefully I'll return to it. Things have been difficult. I really do need to stop spiralling and unwind at night.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Oh. @ENKELI i personally was having a giggle over her behaviour. Tantrum included.
I’m in Launceston and went on a chair ride over something like bush and water. I thought, when in the chair swinging from a to b that if I moved my face which is connected to my skull, ide fall off.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Hello @AuntGlow I have withdrawn from my studies and feel very good about this. Not as much with others in regards to smiling but with myself 😊

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow Hi dear. It has been a real mission the last few days, on Tuesday i was so down that i felt psychically sick from it. Yesterday i started pretty down, but by late evening i was doing much better. Then i slept for 6 hours in my first sleep last night. Which is basically unheard of.

So yes i'm rapt how productive holding onto good life got me through this dip.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Morning @DownMoreThanUp thank you for the video. I listened to it while having my coffee 😊

Really sorry to hear how awful you felt 🤗 I have not felt like that for a while now but know how difficult it is to manage and it seems you did really well 💖

Just taking the morning slow today. Volunteered last night and it has left me a bit wiped.

What plans do you have for your day?
