✨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 job.

I did a couple more days 'shadowing'

I have been offered a contract and will be paid in future.

It's lowest possible rate as need another lecturer with me to start at least. Then next step is $20/hr more still helping out/supervised then another $30 when go unsupervised.

So, i choose when I work . Ok 3 days this week. First paid work I've had in at least 5 years .

I do have to travel and pay for own accommodation, but goal is working more locally next year @Chasingsunsets @Appleblossom

Hey @Chasingsunsets

The bookends of gratitude I can try and work on. The start of the day is sunny and nice!

I only have to hang out my washing and that’s all on my to-do list!

I will spend some time in the sun when it warms up. Just sitting out there and my dogs will join me!

My plans are just diamond art and I’m sitting in on oversized tracksuit. Couldn’t get any softer or more comfortable than that.

The self compassion on is a harder one. I’m guessing listening to music softly all day may fit in there and the nice warm shower I had.

not sure about one of my favourite things though. I’m guessing diamond art with @MissGremlin may count.

I guess when you go through that it’s not really a bad day. I feel pretty low but following that should make my day comforting.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Yes I'll bet it is @TAB 😊. I admire your courage.

I have recently started some volunteer work, which Hannah 🐕 and I are both enjoying. Something I used to do when I was also in paid employment, but had to give up when COVID struck.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

It will be the new norm soon once settle in a bit more and perhaps start working closer to home.

Thanks @Emelia8 and good luck with volunteering.

I read earlier post by me week and a half ago phps. Sounded so jaded/pessimistic .

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@Chasingsunsets none of the points really stand out to me, waaah! I woke up early after a bad dream and am feeling very unmotivated. I have to try and get my act together, mum is coming to visit and much as I love her, some times I'd prefer she not visit. Better than the alternative though!

I hope you have a lovely Sunday x
