✨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✨

Hi @AuntGlow, the challenge I consistently found myself facing last year was a constant doubt over myself with a lot of "what ifs" when I injured myself, finding it hard to find a path forward because I was drowning in so much uncertainty .

I find this challenge continues to plague me into the new year, and I've noticed it's because I'm working with an age group of children I haven't worked with for a number of years, and I feel I'm experiencing a bit of discomfort because I'm being challenged in all the exceptional ways, physically with returning to work after injury, mentally with learning to cope with a new routine and rhythm, as well as anxieties about exacerbating my healing foot and wanting to do well for the colleague in which I'm taking the lead for until they return.

I am learning to grant myself the compassion to accept that I don't have to have everything figured out yet, and that each day is a new opportunity to grow and learn...

@AuntGlow

Last year I was studying at Tafe. I spent about a quarter of the time wanting to quit. However with the aid of Finch (a self care app), I reminded myself that I really wanted to succeed.
This year I am starting a degree so I have updated my goal. If I feel like quitting I will delay and not act on a whim. I know I can be successful.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

It's completely okay to not want to answer this question right now - I understand that it might be a heavier prompt. @NightFury @Captain24 @DogMan79

You never have to participate in anything you don't want to, it's always just an invitation to explore and never a requirement. 🥰

You can also come back this later in the month or set an intention that feels okay for you (because this space is 100% for you).

Here if you need to talk more about what's coming up for you, okay? 💛

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

This is such a huge win @Blackcloud.

I really am so happy to hear you have aligned supports. 🫶

Naturopathic supports are a wonderful addition to your care too.

I am sure you and @creative_writer would have a lot to discuss in this realm. 🥰

@AuntGlow my intention for this week is to be kind towards myself even if I’m not able to tick all my to do boxes.

@AuntGlow hi AuntGlow my big intention was apologising that has set me free in so many ways. it has taken the monkey off my back and given me the chance to move forward. i have to now listen and put into practice my daughters words there is nothing anyone can say to me which is worse that what i have already said to myself.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow and anyone else who may find my perspective useful on this...

I think a reasonable intention for me for now (as an overall) is to use my self-control and self-discipline to "honour my promise" every day, even when I don't want to. As long as I do that, anything else on any singular day that I can't do can be done on a different day. And non-important things can be deprioritised or taken off the agenda (or outsourced) altogether for awhile if needed. Sometimes just staying alive is enough.
