✨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. 💛

Hello @DownMoreThanUp @Kashmina

Yes I love Scarborough Fair.

My plans for the day... to get moving and face the day for a start. It's sunny and looks nice outside.

Any updates on your ducklings and goslings @DownMoreThanUp ?

@AuntGlow Hello lovely how are you? How is your day going?

The tapering is brutal I’m doing worse and am terribly overwhelmed. Just here suffering alone. I wish so much it was better.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Hello @Cuddlebear sorry to hear you are still feeling so awful!

Do they give any indications on when these terrible symptoms may ease?

🤗 to you

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@Kashmina Good to hear you have not felt that bad for a long time either. So it has been for me. The best part was it only lasted 2 days or so, instead of day in day out, as it so often used to be.

i planned to clean my junk room for many years, we used it or storage, also for our livestock, but never got to it, because of the terrible nausea flaring any intensive work i did. However ever since i have been using the T.M.G my nausea has been going down. So now even when i get up at first i usually have no nausea but can already eat and drink what i want to, as well as do activities when i'm not too drained to do that.

So my wife and me got stuck into it today. The room is nice and tidy now. So very pleased we finally got that done!

@Dimity We still have 9 goslings, and still 7 older, but only 2 younger, ducklings left. After a very intense week with birds of prey hunting the young ones. We were rather sad watching them disappear but also saw how the one mother duck who still let her young swim around the middle of the dam, finally began behaving as she should, hugging the shadows. The mother duck who lost all her young has disappeared, so we think she might have made another nest yet, like our female Goose did as well. Not sure if anything will come from that being so late in the year.

Glad some of the little ones are doing well @DownMoreThanUp and that the neglectful mother duck is mending her ways. The losses are sad. I guess the birds of prey are magnificent in their own way. Mary Oliver's poetry on natural wonders helps me come to terms with it.

Well done on your good days and tackling the junk room. I've had a run of not so good days and am now trying to catch up a little.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I am well @Cuddlebear 🫶

I can't even begin to imagine how challenging it would be to manage these changes on your own... I wish we could all wrap you up in a giant hug. Know that we are doing so from afar. 🥰

In the meantime, is there anything our community can do to support you right now? And have you thought about starting a thread that's dedicated to helping you throughout these changes/your recovery? Just a thought, but no pressure. 💛

@Kashmina Hello how are you? Have you had a good day?

When you reduce medication it takes quite a while. I was on a high dose so the reduction are done in smaller increments. Each drop compounds and is worse. I’ll be doing this until early next year. How on earth I’m going to survive it I don’t know. I’m doing my best. I can’t start the new medication until this I’m off this one. Then the new medication will take 4-6 weeks or so to really work.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow How are you? Thank you so much for understanding. I think I will do a thread to specifically seek support for this. That was a really good idea.
