Just started the ADHD Awakening Assessment and already realized something wild: I can prep for a hurricane in hours, but I can't start the courses sitting on my computer that could change my financial life. Turns out my brain doesn't run on routines or willpower. It runs on urgency. And there's a reason I keep avoiding the things that matter most. Also, something Jim said today really stuck with me. He talked about making small, consistent changes, like putting in just 1% each day. I realized that this has always been a challenge for me. It’s really hard for me to put in effort and not see results quickly. Logically, I know that real change doesn’t happen overnight, but emotionally, it’s tough to wait. When I don’t feel like anything is improving, or it’s not happening fast enough, I get discouraged pretty easily…and then I end up giving up. I have to believe I’m not the only one who struggles with this.

Just started the ADHD Awakening Assessment and already realized something wild: my "emotional regulation problem" might actually be a containment problem. I swallow what I really think, then wonder why I overflow. Also apparently my exam-room "failure" story is still running the show decades later. This is going to be interesting.

Hi, my name is Mags, I’m from Scotland, and I work in healthcare as well as my other job of raising 5 kids! I NEVER normally post on these things but i guess i need to put myself out of my comfort zone to get the most from this....😬😬 Already done the Snapshot and it hit home - looking forward to the rest of the challenge. Hopefully i can learn to better manage all the usual ADHD symptoms we all know so well and just manage life a bit better. Stopping the negative self talk and generally feeling less overwhelmed and happier would be great too...🤞🥰

I let Sage know Jeff was my brother not my husband and we had a wonderful chat about that. I realized after years of work that me putting my light out so Jeff could shine was a blame game. What I learned is that I stopped shining because I didn't know how to shine in my own way. This feels way more honest.

Just finished the first section of my ADHD Snapshot and realised something I'd never put together before: all that "flitting between friend groups" at school wasn't me being sociable, it was me masking so no one saw the whole of me. 49 years old and only just naming it, partly because my 14 year old has just been diagnosed. So many aha moments already.
