✨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. 💛

I caught a reel today that was really interesting, not only was it Sunday but this just seemed like the best place to share this @AuntGlow ✨💫

it was a discussion between Mel Robbins and a health psychologist Dr Kelly mcgonigal about joy it was really interesting, it only went for 2min but there were a few things in there which yeah were (again lol) really interesting, sorry words escaping me haha, liked this quote from it too 😊 “Even when the world is in chaos, your full humanity is still available to you” how good.

My intention will be something around that quote I think 🙏

hiya @Ruby26 sorry that my reply is so late! I also love fidget spinners, also recently squishies- since my dog found one at the beach (lol)- threw that one out but brought one of my own hehe. It sounds like in early September you were somewhere fabulous! Or maybe you live in the area near bunnies green hills and flowing streams? How nice. I hear you have been working on goals with sane and you have been studying how’s it all going? Lovely to connect as always and sorry again for late reply 🙏

I want to forbid the voices to stop for 15 minutes a day. Use more dissociating practices for 10 minutes each day. Tall order I know but want to start trying.

@Chasingsunsets, all good, I often forget to check notification for this forum too.

I love squishes too; I'm collecting a variety of fidget toys right now.

The green hills and streams are a short walk away from the mental health clinic that I'm attending- I think I make the most of appointments by going for long walks before and after in such a lovely area.

I finished studying quite a while ago, I talk a lot in the forum about courses I did in the past.

Sane goals are going well. I have two goals I'm working on, and I've just reached the halfway point for both goals. Are you working on any goals right now?

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@TAB I understand, I also have chronic physical health issues. I hope things get better for you soon.

Things are going well; I'm doing art therapy and exercise physiology. I'm about to start going to an art group too. I'm hoping all the focus on creative things will be healing and will be easier than trying to rely on verbal communication for thearpy.
