💬 Sunday Reflections #19 (New Moon intentions)
This month’s New Moon: Sat 14th Oct 18:55 GMT
Hi! This is Leyla from A Day Well Spent, a newsletter seeking pathways to more purposeful living. If you’re reading this by chance - welcome! You can enter your email below to ensure you never miss my twice weekly posts (Thursdays and Sundays):
Hi all and happy Sunday! It’s that glorious time of the month again - full of possibility and anticipation - where we embrace the start of a new lunar cycle with the New Moon, which falls this coming week 🌚
Which means we’ll be using today’s Sunday Reflections to set our intentions for this upcoming lunar cycle and asking ourselves, “what am I ready to invite in?”.
Is this your first time joining our monthly New Moon intention setting?
If so, welcome! It’s one of my favourite times of the month. So many readers are already achieving so much with these monthly accountability meet-ups, I am feeling quite proud of them all! And we would be delighted if you wanted to join in.
If you would like to find out what New Moon intention setting is, how to do it and how we do it here on A Day Well Spent, have a read of this post which answers all these. Then you can head back here.
ICYMI
Last week in the States I was presented with a restaurant menu containing 250 items. On Thursday I wrote a piece titled the tyranny of too much choice. Theses two events are related.
Decision fatigue and the prison of option overload is a real thing. I also share the ways in which I attempt to counter ‘proliferating choice in every domain of life’.
Some other recent posts you won’t want to miss include my guide to exploring secret Tuscany on foot (a wilder and more charming Tuscany, beyond the crowds) and sharing what ‘self-care’ means to us and how we like to do it.
Some thoughts on the week
This week’s reflections come to you from Treviso in northeast Italy, the home of both Prosecco DOC and tiramisu which together currently comprise approximately 67% of my body composition. It is work, honest.
I look forward to reading the conversation in the comments on the journey home today.
Now let’s begin.
Welcome to Sunday Reflections
For new subscribers, welcome to our weekly gathering! This is our intimate and friendly space for community and accountability.
How it works
Each Sunday I pose a prompt or question which we discuss (and say hi) in the comments. Topics often cover self-empowerment and personal growth and these weekly check-ins allow us to get to know ourselves and the other members of the A Day Well Spent community better.
Feel free to have a browse through previous Sunday Reflections to get an idea of the stuff we talk about, which include monthly New Moon intention setting (what we’re doing today).
As always thank you all for being here and I am so looking forward to today’s chat.
Sunday is for awakening the mind, body and spirit 🧘
