✨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. 💛

Coffee and connecting with your SANE family sounds really grounding. I am noticing a bit of a theme here. @Shaz51 😋

The downstairs patio must be so beautiful and serene, a perfect space for a cuppa. 😍

Words with friends is such a great way to get your brain working! 👏

Your plants look a lot healthier than mine! What's your secret? 👀

@AuntGlow

Is it the sun on your face, a hug with your dog, a walk in nature, a big stretch, singing your favourite song, a chat with a friend, or finally completing that one small task you have been putting off?

all of it!

Not quite Sunday... but what felt good for me was finally moving my new shelving out of the lounge and into my bedroom to create a clear bedside area for the first time since my accident 😊 been putting it off since Friday 😅 @AuntGlow

How exciting @AuntGlow!! I love this one!! So good! 🤩🫶

Sorry I’m a bit late, at the moment I have been loving my hugs with Indi and also loving my new runners I brought a couple of months ago (a new style for me), they are super comfy when on our walks ☀️💛

Thinking about my intentions, it might be check ins with my body for 30s-1min to start and build on that. Maybe I start this intention this coming Sunday 😊

Hi @AuntGlow and others here.

What feels good for me is having a sense of purpose in my life. It’s hard to explain but it’s helped me deal with my depressive episodes - I’ve lost this when I’m depressed. Also, making each morning time for my morning coffee and doing my journal which I list 3 things to reflect on the previous day- A song, a good thing that’s happened and my reflections on the previous day. I also make sure to take a photo of something each day which I’m planning to print off and put in a book at the end of the year.

What feels good?

I'm warm and well fed.

Higher order needs? I'm not doing as well.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Yes! All of the above are applicable @Appleblossom 🤩 How was time with your support worker?

No apologies needed for delays @Chasingsunsets! Your new runners sound perfect - a 'feels good' moment perhaps? 👀 I love the idea of the 30s-1min check-ins. What will that look like for you?

Ah, I love all of this!! @Judi9877 Journaling and coffee each morning sounds incredibly grounding and intentional. Purpose helps me too. What does your sense of purpose look or feel like right now?

Having more space must feel sooo good!! @Rosepetal96 How are you feeling atm? 🫶

Warm and well-fed really does feel good @Dimity. Noticing these moments can help so much. 🥰

What else have you noticed has felt good this weekend? 💛
