✨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: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

So my intentions were to go to work every shift and to check in with my emotions daily.

I dressed and ready for my last shift this block. So that’s a pass.

Checking in with my emotions was hard but I tried. I realise I have extreme anxiety at work though.

Ohhhh homework ok

Making it Smart steps

One to pick up when I spiral feeling unsafe and not give those people my energy this is going to be hard. (Submitting a document that makes you have to think of them makes it hard)

Cook some school snacks for the kiddos

Try and focus on my food intake I haven't been eating which isn't helping anything

Than will do and attempt to not beat myself up if it falls apart.

It's already that time of the week - ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨!

Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who participated this week. It's been lovely reading all of your intentions and seeing you support one another. So now, let's do a little check-in. 🥳

1. How did your intention sit with you, what did you explore or find?

2. Is there anything you are needing more support with?

3. What is your intention for the week ahead?

*hint - it can be the same one! 😉

I showed up and didn’t bop the badly behaved psychiatrist on the nose. @AuntGlow

Yay Apple 🍎

yep same next week.

how to show up with full authenticity….but not needing to self sabotage or spill all my beans at once…

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

1. So much happened last week for me and I just needed space to process it all and sit with it for a while, so the intention I wrote down wasn't really a focus. I said that I would like to set boundaries with my brother, regarding looking after my niece every day after work, for long hours and into the night and it didn't really come up this week. I'm thankful though, because with so much on, it's something that would have been added to my already overwhelmingly full plate.

2. Hmmm...I'm not sure.

3. I think I'm going to change this week, while keeping last week's intention in the background - I would like to pick up my journal again, starting writing again.

Amazing @NightFury .

Tell us how it goes for you - the journalling and all.

I can see you have a lot of processing to do. Sounds like a lot on your mind.

Anything we can help with?

@tyme , @AuntGlow

I gave away my grandmother's 1970's couch to someone who needed a couch

So one thing decluttered for the week

Try to do one decluttering again this week

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

my intention this week @AuntGlow is to work on finding out why i am becoming so anxious again, last time i felt this anxious i had a full breakdown. im trying to find what is triggering it and working on trying to prevent it going further.

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

@tyme I'll keep you all updated. I used to journal a couple of times a week, but it's been a couple of months now. It helps to create space in my head...

I always have a lot on my mind. I have a busy brain. Journalling used to help with that. It used to help me get stuff out.

It's probably just anxious brained stuff, so maybe not sharing here is a good idea.
