✨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. 💛

And... go! @MissGremlin @NightFury @Bow @Shaz51 @Captain24 @creative_writer @avant-garde @Oaktree @ENKELI @Dimity @Semly @Appleblossom @MJG017 @Sunnyside226 @Blackcloud @PeppyPatti @Till23

Mine will be to write a list for every day to help me order my thoughts. This is instead of thinking it over and over in my brain.. because that just makes me confused. @AuntGlow @Shaz51 @Dimity @MissGremlin

My intention this week is to start packing and sorting through some of my things,

i need to declutter, and moving house in 2 weeks will help me get rid of things, I tend to keep a lot of knick-knack things, but im not sure how important some "stuff" is

Re: ✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

I think I got it @AuntGlow!!

 

My intention this week is to continue my gentle decluttering process WITHOUT shaming myself about any progress I do or don't make! 

 

Aww nice, love me a little bit of backup in keeping myself accountable!! 

 

@Shaz51 @The-red-centaur @Dimity  @tyme @Oaktree @NightFury 

Let's do this!!

@Jynx decluttering can be challenging. 

 

I sometimes get distracted with the things I find that I forgot I owned (especially random toys or fidgets) and start playing with the things I find.

Small progress is better than no progress, starting the process is often the hardest part.

@tyme Always been a list maker. It works. Recycled paper on the kitchen bench. Whether it’s renovating, studying or paid or unpaid work, community, personal or family.

 

@AuntGlow Just showing up. Not working too hard, cos of all my repetitive strain injuries. Finding good balance between action and rest.

@AuntGlow 

I am  thinking decluttering is needed to be done 

And also letting my husband declutter when he wants to and for me to let go of things
