✨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. 💛

@AuntGlow

I have a piece of homework to do for the psychologist. I think I will feel better when I have done that. I need to do a reflection on my successes at Tafe

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow thank you so much (pretend this is me supporting your post, button is still not working lol 😂)

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

um I apologise @AuntGlow I didn't know what intention means

So I got but help from Ai but made into my words

My intention is to bring in

calm,

control,

and accomplishment.

I want to feel iv both achieved something materially but keep a sence of calm around me.

Yesterday, I went to visit one of my Mum's besties but she's been supporting me for years.

It was thrilling - where do I get this support from ?

But it's easy to feel this sence of high anxiety no matter what I do.

I need order in my life.

My intentions are framed around reclaiming your space and nurturing your well-being through focused, manageable actions.

That's from Ai.


I want to clean a Table & Kitchen):


* Intention: To engage in a calming, creative activity that provides a healthy distraction from stress and fosters a sense of flow and personal satisfaction.

I'm going to quilt my next quilt

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Oh @NightFury I'm going through this. I found by sending a text - that's all I can do -

for me is to be very short and very direct.

Iv seen her because she had a gall bladder attack LLC ast week . Anyway iv just had that operation.

where I asked her not to visit me in hospital. Now she's getting gall bladder attacks. She asked me to take her to hospital if it happens.


"Mum, I've thought about it, and I won't be able to take you to the emergency room. I need to prioritize my own mental health."

What a horrible daughter I am. No I'm not. I'm a survivor.

@PeppyPatti setting boundaries is hard, I think especially when it comes to family.

Well done on setting your boundary.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow I mean well but can't always follow through on my intentions. I return to them and try again.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Good idea @Dimity

I'm in a cafe drinking a coffee before I get my hair plaited.

I'm going to quilt when home. Yes I will. Definately.

.absolutely sure.
