✨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. 💛

@Glisten that's it! We used up our likes! Oh dear. Do we have to go to some government department and request additional likes? Is it state? Or federal?
I'll ask Mr MM, he keeps threatening to call the PM on me when I don't give him his Krack so he must have some pretty important contacts.

Mocha for me please. @PeppyPatti I think your motivation took mine with it and is boarding a flight to Fiji or some other warm location. I hope our motivations bring us back a souvenir 😄

@AuntGlow @Shaz51 @Dimity @Jacques I hope y'all are keeping warm 🫂

Please ask away @PeppyPatti your my friend. Umm as far as I know I can, it will depend on what the cause of it is, the specialist is still trying to work it out. They know it is my auto immune system, but it can trigger other issues.

@ENKELI @PeppyPatti Bargara QLD that’s where our motivations have gone.

It has the most consistent warm temperature in the country. Not too humid. Absolutely nothing to do and nothing to see except ocean.

My bestie of 37 years lives 50 mtrs from the water. I have my own room. You can both bunk in with me. No farting in bed.

I just woke up from a 3 hour nap. Can you tell?

@AuntGlow @Jynx @PeppyPatti ...and others who are here...

My intention/goal hasn't really come up this week, for which I'm thankful for. It's been a big week for me and I'm not sure I would have coped well with have a two-year old running around the house every day after work. Even kind of acknowledging that though makes me go, "that's a mean thing to say." I love the rug rat dearly, don't get me wrong, but I've needed time and space to process and to take care of me.

I guess I need to learn not to judge myself when I feel like that? I have a lot of "things" on my plate, strategies to try and thoughts to process and while it's a positive step, I'm trying not to get overwhelmed by it all and set my head into a spin, because then I'll freeze and nothing will be tried or achieved.

Maybe I need to evaluate my intentions for next week? Keep this one as something ongoing, but...not make it a focus?

@Glisten @PeppyPatti road trip? Paris would love a trip to Qld and I like that state for a variety of reasons.

The only concern would be Mr MM would need to come with and would probably demand the front seat. But you 2 could pretend to be fabulously wealthy and being chauffeured. Okay well, mildly middle class given that Paris is not a Mercedes but a Mitsubishi. She was the most expensive version available when I bought her though 😁

I'd love to drive across to the east but mum won't let me. She's probably watched Wolf Creek one too many times. Actually I wouldn't want to do it solo, MM isn't the best at conversation and I talk to myself enough as it is.

I promise no farting in bed but I can't vouch for Mal. I hope you have a California King Size there because he likes to spread himself across the bed!

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@Shaz51 thanks so much for tagging me here and thanks so much @AuntGlow for creating this 😊

I think my intentions for the week are to try and do some journaling at least once, as well as writing some notes to take to my next therapy session since I often get carried away with going off topic sometimes. there’s so many productive things I wish I could do right now and I’ve been struggling so much with feeling really guilty and pressured to just move on, get out of this big depressive blob of not functioning well and get back to all the things I need/want to do but honestly I have to remind myself that I’ve genuinely had my nervous system cop a serious beating from going through traumatic hell this year on top of already trying to heal from everything else I’ve been through 💔

I really do want to try this out though. even if it’s really super simple intentions. I just hope I don’t punish myself too much for not being able to do certain things

proud of everyone here for trying and doing their best 💗
