✨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. 💛

Lovely @Chasingsunsets

I have a cold this week, had to cancel lots, and spent heaps of time in bed spoiling myself. Yes! I can do it! Not only people pleasing! lol The freedom to be able to just do me, has been freeing and wonderful, even though I am sick. I am mindful of my growing chest congestion and the slowing of my sneezing, but not distressed by it.

Have good week all ...

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@TAB Glad you are looking forward to paid work. It could be a real game changer for you, not just money wise. I have always felt its important to feel good about one's activities. Intrinsic values and all that. I have done lots of work for just money, and lots of work cos I loved it. Had a lazy week this week tho. LOL. Learning the brand new skill ... of looking after myself when I am sick. I just seem to do everything in the wrong order. Apparently I was too much a hard worker when I was a kid. lol Gotta loosen up.

@Emelia8 Yep, volunteer work is often the way to go.

@ENKELI @Taali and all... have a good week.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

Yeah I spent most of working life not understanding how to get by and in worst possible job choices . Think was trying to prove myself to someone who neither cared or mattered. Also in hindsight should have done this 10-15 years ago lol . That's Life

@TAB Its good you are doing it now. Live and learn, mate. Life would be boring if we just get stuck on one thing. I enjoy remembering the range of jobs I had. At the time they were reasonable for the situation.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@TAB while you're just breaking even at the start, just think how it will get better for you. You're awesome for getting out and doing it, I need some of your motivation.

Go Tabby, you are da King!
