✨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. 💛

Good for you @Jacques 👍

It must have taken a lot for you to cope

But you DID it!

I imagine that you're feeling a bit emotionally drained but so happy that you shone through.

@AuntGlow you tagged me on a rare "No appointments" week

The only things on my list are pathology test this morning and getting some laundry and dishes done through the week

Hi friends it was good reading your responds. Love and kinds always works and filling the tank up with itself is smart economics. You and equals never run short unless you stop the motions yourself. And itself gives far more stability than relying on the love or goodwill of others.i found out the last 6 months that even those i trusted with my good life cost me my good life and taught me to only trust truthfully loving and not what i'm told but does not add it.

My effort at self love? i let Jesus hug me to His love to sleep every night last week my troubled mind. And therefore i needed only a few sleepers all of last week, when that didn't work my inner turmoil, but overall all week a much more peaceful mind the loss of my wife, and a dramatically reduced my anxiety.

i love this version my struggle in song someone's else's words.

(lyrics)

My heart is weak

Tear it down piece by piece

Leave me to think

Deep in my structure I think I still love her

But I need some sleep

You've taken my breath away

Now I want to breathe

'Cause I cannot see what you can see So easily

Leave me in peace

Caught in my memories

Lost underneath

Deep in my structure

I feel a rupture

From where she should be

You've taken my breath from me

Now I want to breathe

'Cause I cannot see what you can see So easily

I thought my demons were almost defeated

But you took their side & you pulled them to freedom

They know my secrets & won't let me go Won't let me go

I thought my demons were almost defeated

But you took their side & you pulled them to freedom

I kept your secrets & I thought that You would do the same

Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away

I thought my demons were almost defeated (take me away)

But you took their side & you pulled them to freedom (take me away)

They know my secrets & won't let me go (take me away) Won't let me go (take me away) I thought my demons were almost defeated (take me away)

But you took their side & you pulled them to freedom (take me away)

I kept your secrets & I thought that (take me away)

You would do the same (take me away)

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

My main goal is to keep... socially active ... and out there ... being real... but always trying to respect the people around me.

I am more engaged than 10 years ago. A couple of new things.... a Monday coffee club group .... and Sunday ... a faith based mental health group... peer support.

@AuntGlow

trying to keep on keeping on.

@TAB I've been there with the job searches. The uncertainty is a horrible feeling. Hope you do have the job. I find doing a lot of self-care is important while job hunting.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@AuntGlow my intention is to cut back on screen time and use that time to be in the present moment and do deep breathing and body scan mindfulness.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I'm a bit suspicious re job @Ruby26 .. they barely communicated, and not very often, sounded like going through motions when they did as in too good to be true. other places offered me the World then shot me down in 5mins when decided against me. not sure what this place up to as said. been to interviews for others who acted oddly then claimed hadnt checked refs( yet gave me interview) then ghosted me. yes, bit shell-shocked. not been asked any hard questions or had motives questioned by this lot.

Yet, day after tomorrow I'm going to be in ok various classes all day seeing what it is really like ok they called it shadowing,not surehow that differs from observing, but thereyou are.

They way they had been talking, sounded like I already had the job by choosing part time over full time thereby avoiding a formal interview I was told.

I would expect if day goes well I will be offered a job. still dont really trust the process as have had goal posts moved on me before. Win, lose or draw, am getting my name out there and have nothing to lose really so long as I give it a fair go.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Hi @MissGremlin, I’m catching up on posts and replies now

That’s amazing that you took that step to go outside, sit in the sun and take some deep breaths. It sounds like it felt really nice, and I think it’s lovely that you want to try making it part of your day when you can. You should be proud of yourself for giving it a go

Have you been able to do a bit more of that over the last couple of days? I hope you’ve been doing okay lovely 😊
