✨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. 💛

@TAB thanks for your support and the idea of volunteering for a couple of days, good idea. Your support means a lot :-)

TAFE bolshie, yeah typical govt! Like Telecom in the early 90's. I started in 013/0175 - directory assistance and if you had to work Christmas you only did a half shift but got paid penalty rates for the whole shift. We were given drinks and food, then when I went over to sales the first year I was there they shut the call centre down at midday so we could have a catered Christmas lunch. The next year our new centre manager started popping the bubbles at 10am on Christmas Eve.

One of my workmates and I went to the local tavern for a liquid lunch and were 30 minutes late back to work. My workmate's boss (we'll call her Karen) told off my friend and friend replied "Oh f*** off Karen!" My boss shook her head and said "well we won't be getting much out of you this afternoon will we?"

One of my cousins worked for Landgate (land authority in WA) and she told me they had a chill out room with those big fitness balls, beanbags and healthy snacks and drinks to cater for the staff if they were getting too stressed. This was only a few years back.

I'd be happy with a job that has a decent place to eat lunch lol!!

@TAB woohoo! Good news! Don't spend that $48 all at once! I have just over 2 years before I can access my super. I am still waiting for my inheritance and was going to put most of it into my super until I found out that I can't put more than 30k in unless I want to pay huge taxes. Looks like I'll be keeping it under the mattress 😆

There's group of virtual office workers near other lecturers desks ie they work at geographically dift places. They seem to have work free day Friday just sitting in group talking,eating. @ENKELI guess people they work for had day off so they come in get paid lol

Heard some dude in another dept. audibly state 'we don't Do anything' ..lol

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@TAB see, that's what you should aspire to! 🤣🤣

While slacking off can be fun, it does get boring. I'd rather a job where I'm on the go most of the day than have nothing to do. There are not enough books and Netflix shows for that kind of work day! 😆

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@TAB how did it go, did they offer you the job in the end?

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@Chasingsunsets I feel like I mostly have 'could-do' lists rather than 'to-do's'. Unless I have a meeting or appointment I usually just do what I can.

I've been using a fidget spinner to make light swirls to help me stim.

The extra sun this week, the sound of running water, the green hills and the bunny runs has been a wonderful sensory outdoor experience.

I've been wearing very soft clothes and taking some time to rest in them.

I've had a break from social media and taken some time to be still.

I'm revisiting some eye sparkles as part of my recovery. I'm studying a mental health program and working on recovery goals with Sane.
