✨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. 💛

@PeppyPatti do you plan to cry? Are you okay. Do you find surrendering helpful. Do the tears come?

@PeppyPatti Hello lovely I am so happy to see you on the forums. How are you? How is the new guitar? I didn’t know you played guitar. It’s a beautiful instrument.

It's been a hard slog for me. Mental health is a wreck. So hard to just get through isnt it.

Its not Sunday, but I am thinking I need to be careful with my intention setting

Committing to my physio sets and walking and gardening .... my usual ... but keep ... keeping it up Apple

Saw physio today ... and told him my regular sets .... are like my Zen practice...

@Jacques @heartathome and all ... passing by ....

Thank you @Appleblossom 🥰

So, it sounds like your intention could be taking it day by day? Going slow? Listening to your body?

Hello wonderful humans! ✨

Just a gentle reminder that this space is still open for you to set and share your intentions with one another. We would love to see what you're up to and how you are meeting yourself with curiosity and compassion. 🥰

Oh! And remember: there are no intentions 'too small', because every moment you show up for yourself is a moment spent showing yourself love (which you deserve!).

Wishing you all a nourishing week ahead. 💛

@AuntGlow I know it probably doesn't seem like much but yesterday I sat in the sun for a few minutes, closed my eyes and took some deep breaths, it felt good. I did the same thing today and I want to try to do it everyday if I can.

Dear @AuntGlow

Thanks for introducing me to this thread.

My intention is to be better this coming week than I was last week.

No poor MI days or at least doing better to deal with and understand them.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

..I'm trying to fix my body ..still .. gym 4x /week lately , yes supervised /graduated/targeted.

um, trying not to stress out as someone is talking like I have a job. I would like to believe it/ am bit fearful if it does happen.this person rings me every so often asking what 'I' want from job and talking about it like it's a done deal. Heard it all before tbh, but having to take it seriously .
