✨Sunday Intention Setting✨

[AuntGlow]

Happy Sunday! 🥰 

Doing a little check-in with everyone to see how slowing down is feeling.

I'm going to move on to a new theme next week and would love your suggestions - what would you like to explore? ✨🧚

I know you have been working on striking a balance between effort and ease @Captain24. How did you go with this over the weekend whilst you were away? ✨

[AuntGlow]

I am so happy to read that you have been allowing yourself some time to regulate and create stillness before doing all that you have to do. @MissinTooth Is a hot drink by the fire on the cards this evening? 🥰

[AuntGlow]

How did your assignments go @Oaktree? And how are you feeling now that your support worker and psychologist are back? I am sure that is helping with feeling supported. 🥰

I did really well with it Saturday afternoon when I got to Kiama and I did well Sunday @AuntGlow Spending time watching the ocean. Today was a bit harder. Just over socialised and raining a lot but I’m just going to chill for the afternoon. I had to push myself today to be nice all day but other than the anxiety of driving so far I’ve been doing a lot of self care

[AuntGlow]

Ah, that sounds so calming. @Captain24 

I understand the irritation that can come about from too much people time haha. It sounds like you did a great job of balancing being a present friend, but also coming back to yourself. 

Amazing work. 🤩

@AuntGlow slowing down... I'm often in functional freeze but a few days ago I went into acute freeze when needing to return a phone call. I don't think that's what you meant.

Still looking for self-soothing methods, it's a work in progress.

@AuntGlow I also took a day off work last and gave myself permission to stop! It wasn't about slowing down...I needed to come to a complete stop and take care of myself.

Sometimes I wonder whether slowing down, giving myself permission to stop is giving in...

I feel really unmotivated at the moment and I'm finding myself having a hard time getting out of bed, getting moving and wanting to stay out of bed. But I push myself because I fear that if I give myself permission, I won't be able to find the momentum again. I don't know, just thoughts. 

I haven't had a cuppa by the fire this week. It's been a busy and challenging week so far. But I've been trying to find other ways to slow down - like spending an hour working on my diamond dot.
