✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I completely understand this @AlwaysMyself. Hmm, maybe exploring a trauma-informed class in person could allow for some in-person support? (If that feels okay for you)

Listening to your body is key, and you're right, you can start and stop as you need.

That's a great question. I would say that stretching is more about the physical act of creating more flexibility, whereas, yoga encompasses a very conscious relationship between the mind and body - particularly through the breath. It can also be a very spiritual practice for some people, particularly when we connect with the 8 Limbs of Yoga: https://www.yogajournal.com/yoga-101/philosophy/8-limbs-of-yoga/eight-limbs-of-yoga/

Revisiting all of this has reminded me how much I still have to learn!! Yoga (and any practice really) is a life-long process.

Also - you can try this and be like, "this isn't for me", and that's also completely okay. 🫶

Oh my goodness, that photo looks like it's been pulled straight out of fairyland! 🧚 How magical. @Rosepetal96 have you visited anywhere like this again this week?

How is being kind to yourself throughout your learning helping you @NightFury?

Please tell me how your psych appointment was! @Blackcloud

I understand being out of spoons @Dimity, so much has been going on for you. Do you have a small intention for self-care this week?

Just exisiting is enough right now @Cuddlebear. Have you noticed any small moments of enjoyment throughout your day? For example, the sunshine or a conversation here?

Ah, well, you know what they say - can't have a rainbow with the rain, so maybe it's the same here? Can't have the flowers without the weeds. 😂 @Shaz51

@Chasingsunsets how has the real estate company hustle been going?

And @peaceandsafety, it's so lovely to see @AlwaysMyself supporting you. 🫶 Would you like me to respond to you here or on your thread you created? Big hugs.

Being kind to myself while learning about my new role and work place requirements and processes is hard @AuntGlow. There are things that just aren't happening at the moments (things around the home, study etc) and it's hard to stop and remind myself that it's okay.

I visited the local garden centre with my mum today! I saw loads of cute succulents and some funny ones too @AuntGlow

the appointment went very well and has definitely met my expectations! not to mention this has been the first neuro-affirming psychology clinic with neurodivergent psychologists that I wanted to get referred to, and I'm so glad that there are psychologists like this that exist now! cause now I can finally feel like I'm being listened to without considering on terminating/ceasing my service with them! @AuntGlow

I'm getting my thyroid retested at my local doctor clinic in the upcoming weeks just to see if the results remain low, but other than that I can't wait to see and speak to my new naturopath this upcoming week and have some more upcoming sessions with her in terms of finding ways to heal naturally.

@AuntGlow I've signed up for a support worker. It won't be often as I'm unfunded.

I've run out of spoons for now.

This is a really, really positive step forward @Dimity. Even if your support worker is irregular, having someone on your side, to help hold some of those spoons, will be really helpful. Very proud of you for organising this.

PS: They better be the best bloody support worker in town, or they are hearing from AuntGlow!! 😜

Haha thanks @AuntGlow yes I hope it works out. I'm hoping to have them once a fortnight. I'm quite anxious about tackling my projects and issues but hopefully having moral support and practical help will make a difference.

It will absolutely make a difference. What projects would you like to tackle with them first? @Dimity 💛

Hello my wonderful forum friends,

It's been a while since we set some intentions together, so I thought I would pop in - say hi! - and set a little prompt to get you started:

*Think about some moments from last year - what did you notice was a common challenge you experienced and what helped you to work through that challenge?*

With that information, I encourage you to set an intention for this month that focuses on compassionately acknowledging where you're at and exploring what inner resources you may need to draw upon to support your mind and body right now.

I am here to help you brainstorm and reflect, so please don't hesitate to check-in and let me know how you're going! 🥰
