✨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. 💛

@Shaz51   How are you? Did you have a good restful day yesterday? How is this morning? 

Yes I hope I find somewhere too. I don’t have help aside from the pretty useless housing service who basically said try to find a private rental and if I’m homeless they don’t have emergency accomodation for people with my disabilities.

You know, I was actually thinking that the Finch folks might be all set for now @avant-garde!! 

That's completely okay, I just wanted to include you. 🥰

I love this one @Oaktree! It's okay, I have been meaning to do the same... maybe I will do it with you? 

What are you grateful for/proud of today? 💛

@NightFury This is a big one, isn't it? Boundaries can feel quite scary and vulnerable... but they are so, so important for our wellbeing. I know you can do this. Slow and steady. 💛

That's okay, maybe you can come back to this in your own time? @MissGremlin 

Know that we are definitely not judging you... this thread is here to celebrate all of our efforts, no matter what they are! 💛

Ooh, I like this a lot @Dimity. 

It's okay to slowly introduce this routine into your life. I think these intentions are really wonderful though. How are you going with them so far?

I am proud that I discussed some things that were worrying me with my psychologist today
