✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

[AuntGlow]

Hello my wonderful forum friends, 

It's been a while since we set some intentions together, so I thought I would pop in - say hi! - and set a little prompt to get you started:

*Think about some moments from last year - what did you notice was a common challenge you experienced and what helped you to work through that challenge?*

With that information, I encourage you to set an intention for this month that focuses on compassionately acknowledging where you're at and exploring what inner resources you may need to draw upon to support your mind and body right now. 

I am here to help you brainstorm and reflect, so please don't hesitate to check-in and let me know how you're going! 🥰

Hi @AuntGlow, the challenge I consistently found myself facing last year was a constant doubt over myself with a lot of "what ifs" when I injured myself, finding it hard to find a path forward because I was drowning in so much uncertainty .

I find this challenge continues to plague me into the new year, and I've noticed it's because I'm working with an age group of children I haven't worked with for a number of years, and I feel I'm experiencing a bit of discomfort because I'm being challenged in all the exceptional ways, physically with returning to work after injury, mentally with learning to cope with a new routine and rhythm, as well as anxieties about exacerbating my healing foot and wanting to do well for the colleague in which I'm taking the lead for until they return. 

I am learning to grant myself the compassion to accept that I don't have to have everything figured out yet, and that each day is a new opportunity to grow and learn...

I can't do this @AuntGlow I'm sorry.

@AuntGlow 

Last year I was studying at Tafe. I spent about a quarter of the time wanting to quit. However with the aid of Finch (a self care app), I reminded myself that I really wanted to succeed. 
This year I am starting a degree so I have updated my goal. If I feel like quitting I will delay and not act on a whim. I know I can be successful.

This is not for me especially not at this time @AuntGlow 

[DogMan79]

Ditto night fury and captain24 (Deliberately not @ since they don't want involvement)

Sorry @AuntGlow I have nothing

[AuntGlow]

It's completely okay to not want to answer this question right now - I understand that it might be a heavier prompt. @NightFury @Captain24 @DogMan79 

You never have to participate in anything you don't want to, it's always just an invitation to explore and never a requirement. 🥰

You can also come back this later in the month or set an intention that feels okay for you (because this space is 100% for you). 

Here if you need to talk more about what's coming up for you, okay? 💛

[AuntGlow]

This is such a huge win @Blackcloud. 

I really am so happy to hear you have aligned supports. 🫶

Naturopathic supports are a wonderful addition to your care too. 

I am sure you and @creative_writer would have a lot to discuss in this realm. 🥰

@AuntGlow my intention for this week is to be kind towards myself even if I’m not able to tick all my to do boxes.

@AuntGlow  hi AuntGlow  my big intention was apologising that has set me free in so many ways.  it has taken the monkey off my back and given me the chance to move forward.   i have to now listen and put into practice my daughters words there is nothing anyone can say to me which is worse that what i have already said to myself.
