Here is the response to the 8 questions in the week 6 work: Week 6 - Final Reflection & Letter to Future Self Completed on 2/27/2026 Your Responses Six weeks ago, what was your biggest struggle? Be specific - not 'everything' but the one thing that hurt most. 6 weeks ago the biggest struggle was accepting what I did was good enough. I was filled with failure so much that i just accepted it and probably did a lot of self-sabotage. What story were you telling yourself about why you couldn't change? Doing something different than what I did felt wrong. I felt like I did not deserve to be better than I was. That other's people's needs were far more important than my own. That my emotional feel good was solely based on what others thought of me. I would put myself down hoping that others would pick me up. Feeling good about me felt wrong. As well, feeling good made the shitty times that much shittier. What's the single biggest insight you gained? The one thing that changed how you see yourself or your ADHD. I delved into different parts of me and found that, although I thought these parts to be evil, they actually have a good side. That really they are not good nor bad, but it how i see myself and them. For example, my protector would say, 'don't do this, you will just fuck it up.' I would do it anyway and more likely than not, fuck it up. But as i accept myself, my protector says, 'hey, watch out for this, plan for that.' so, now we work together to determine whether I should do something and if so, how to go about it. Still a work in progress. but any progress is better than none. What habit or behavior actually changed? Not what you learned - what you DID differently. The habit that changed the most, would be being able to check in with myself and determine was I doing good enough. This came out mostly when doing the treadmill. I set a goal for myself currently 3 miles in 45 minutes with various inclines. I check in and see if I feel ok to go a bit faster. If yes, I go a bit faster. If no, I keep the pace or slow a bit, gather myself and ask again. I also notice my mindset is moving to be more open. Really trying to ask questions of my staff as a way of teaching rather than telling them the answer. The Socratic method.
