✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

[Dimity]

@AuntGlow my first intention for the year is to get by. I'm expecting a major mh crisis next week, coincidentally nearly a year since a relapse and hospitalisation. At that stage 5 or more life and health issues had converged and I succumbed. 

I'm scared. All I can do is hope to ride it out.

[AuntGlow]

Oh @Dimity, we are here with you, lovely. 

What can we do to support you right now? 

We don't want you to have to feel this fear on your own... it must be so much to hold.

What do you think will help to keep you safe this week? 💛

My intention for 2026 is to have one new experience every month. This could include going to see a new movie, going to see a show, trying a new food, etc @AuntGlow. In January I went to the basketball for the first time. I am trying to find things that make me feel happiness, that make me feel excited, that make me feel something positive. And I am going to take photos of each experience and write a journal entry on it. 

My intention for this week is to kick off the new study period in a positive way. I want to attend the online class, and finish my first assignment.

@AuntGlow  I think the best I can do is take a shower before Friday.

@AuntGlow I'm wishing I had a support worker to check in with me daily next week when I'm expecting the trouble, and help me with transport etc. I think I might have completely lost it by the time I'm due to check into medical hospital later in the week. I might increase my meds prn for several days but I'm only allowed to increase them a small amount and it might not be enough.

I really love this thread @AuntGlow 🤩, I have been taking a bit of time to think about this one actually, it’s been interesting to see how my brain as progressed from not having or thinking about any intentions to gathering a few recently a long the way... 1.Email a different real estate company every day (at least one a week), then, email every individual agent after that, time for a re hustle 💪 2. Work out how to consciously live this year to remember the year (not sure how I do this yet)

3.Work at the recent therapy started ☀️

How about you Auntglow what are some of your intentions 😊

Hi @Oaktree 

I got a lap band in 2011. I couldn’t move for about 5 days after operation!! 
but it literally saved my life. Please remember going to all check ups. After 10 years the band started eroding in my stomach because I never went to the checkups. I was so ill. !! Then I got a sleeve on public.

Simply showing up to work is a wonderful intention, especially when things have been hard. @Captain24 I am wondering what a gentle intention could be for this week? 🫶

How did it feel to cultivate that balance between caring for you and hosting your friends @Oaktree?

Wow! Organic wholefoods are so healing for the mind and body - I know I need to work on nourishing myself more too. How has it been going? @Bunniekins 

These a really wonderful intentions @Shaz51. How are your gardens growing this week? 🤩 And how are you being gentle with your body as you heal?

I would love to know if you have any updates on your pains and how they are feeling @BlueBay. 💖

Ah, I love this!! What was your small moment of joy that you pulled from today? @Rosepetal96 

This is an incredible step forward! @Blackcloud Do you have any updates? 

Amazing @NightFury. This sounds like a very heart and spirit-led intention. What do you think you'll explore as your experience next month? 😍

An act of self-care, like a shower, sounds really nourishing. @Cuddlebear Were you able to shower this week? 💛

A support worker would be incredibly helpful... have you looked for one at all yet? @Dimity 🫶

Love these intentions @Chasingsunsets!! How has your hustle been going? 💪 And have you started exploring what 'living consciously' means to you? I would like to hear more about therapy as well!!

As for me... my intention is to continue 'coming back to myself'; to really listen to my body and honour what it's asking for. 🥰

@AuntGlow i tried one of the yoga videos this morning. It was painful (even with modification) and tiring. I might try to find one that holds positions for less time as well as is less long in general, and maybe one that is target to highly inflexible/tight-muscle people 🤣, maybe a beginners-level-for-80yo level is what my body needs to start with. 🤔

But i know i can also just take any stretch/position and just hold it for as short or long as i want.

I actually dont really know.. what is the difference between yoga and stretching? Just that yoga slows more between stretch to stretch?

[AuntGlow]

Trauma bond withdrawal sounds incredibly challenging - on a physiological and neurological level. @peaceandsafety 

I am curious to know how your body and mind are processing things at the moment? 💖

I understand why thinking about the year as a whole would feel daunting - keeping things present is more than okay. Moment to moment is so key when we are overwhelmed, as it allows us to slowly rebuild our capacity and rewire our responses. 

I am glad the HOPE team will continue to support you. How has it been so far? It sounds like an incredible team!
Wow, how did it feel to hear someone else's experience with BPD?
I am very happy to hear you have friends who are there for you. 🥰

Work sounds really tough... you are truly managing so much. 

How about I keep checking in and you can message back when you have the space? 🫶
